For the www.vw.co.za site i created a banner server:

• dynamically created via xml
• loads banners sequentially [swf,jpgs] but allows the user to break the sequence
• if an error occurs loading a banner the sequence simply moves on to the next banner
• displays banners sequentially but allows the user to break the sequence
• indicates how long the banner is gonna be displayed for and allows the user to pause/unpause

Just completed this simple countdown timer for the release of the new Audi Q7.

Both release time and current time are passed to flash via FlashVars, but Flash can also init itself by hardcoded default times.

I just found out today that the The MWedge Patrol game , which i developed [a-thankyou!] is a finalist for the Loerie awards.

It is in the category: EXPERIENTIAL: DIRECT & PROMOTIONAL DIGITAL – MICRO SITE/ INTERSTITIAL PAGES/ POP-UP WINDOW wtf? I thought it was a game!

I dont really know what i’m up against apart from lonelyfinger.co.za. But i sure its all nice. Well okay, very nice. But i gots me sum faith in Meg and Max, the Galaxy Patrollers!

Anyways im stoked and i hope the company sends me to Margate [my home town. nice] for the awards in September.

This was one of my favorite as well as one of the most stressful projects i’ve ever worked on. It was a huge pitch that had the whole agency running about.

2 days before the client arrives and i havent completed it, so i work through the night, hit a flv component/ loadMovie bug at 6 in morning and eventually have the project ready for viewing as well as distribution on mini iPods. A 36hr day. Nice!

The awesome 3D was done by the talented David Orridge.
