Visa on Vulcan v1
Yup - we even do display banner sets too! The following example shows creating a new master MPU banner, and a subsequent DMPU that copies all the previous selections over. Once approved and submitted, the banners are packaged-up and the backup.jpg images are created...
Marriott Bonvoy on Vulcan v1
Another demo of the first iteration of the Trinity platform, previously called Vulcan. Here's a short walkthrough of producing a 9x16 static image ready for publishing on social media. [video width="1920" height="1080"...
EE on Vulcan v1
A demo of the first iteration of the Trinity platform, previously called Vulcan. Here's a short walkthrough of producing a broadcast-ready 16x9 video for an EE campaign. Some steps have been shortened and there's a glaring typo in there! [video width="1920"...
Inti
So, we had 3,000 master images that need to be cropped for various media. For some, there were 30 different sizes to prepare for. 90,000 images in total. Imagine the time and pain involved trying to accomplish that in Photoshop. You’d need a document with 30...
Trinity
Where to start with this one?..
Filter Explorer
One challenge of working with Marriott was that each media asset has to have "The Treatment" on it. A combination of a Photo Filter, Colour Overlay and Levels. Rather than having to bake them in, we thought we'd emulate it with CSS filters. Here's a playground I built...
Bananatime
Probably the most irritating part of being a banner animator are those last minute changes that end-up in having to re-do the backup image. Tedious! Why not automate it? Here's an app I built that seeks to the banner endframe, screenshots it, compresses it to under...
FIFA Ethics App
An App for FIFA educating students about 'Ethics in Football'? Yeah... I thought that was a bit ironic too! This was an iPad app containing 4 mini quiz games related to various aspects of ethics. All results are logged into an internal database with a feature to...
HTML5 Space Invaders
One of those weeks with not so much to do and giving myself a Twitter reading ban because of that spluttering sack of orange sausage-meat that's playing at being president of the US - what to do? Try to make an HTML5, full, as-accurate-as-I-can version of Space...
Pacman
Ah darnit, looks like the creator of Pacman, Toru Iwatani has died today. Utter genius! I played that game so many times on so many platforms and spend so much money in the arcades when it first came out. I thought I had sussed-out how and why the ghosts move as they...
Qbert Game
Love this one! Another xmas html5 game challenge tackled. Again, great to research the original game, see how the characters move and react, find the genius in the simplicty. Fantastic design and concept by the lovely people at BonnerMcHardy. But the music though!.....
Match 3 Game
Now here was a challenge! Creating a Candy Crush style game from scratch, with highscore database and user registration. I was considering Actionscript and getting it converted by Swiffy until Google decided to pull the plug on the whole Swiffy endeavour. What a...
Xpress signs
Produced with the Flash platform with the help of Distriqt's Native Maps ANE, and delivered cross-platform with the ever wonderful and misunderstood Air. Featuring CMS login, client data retrieval and addition, dynamic native mapping.
JISC iPad App
Once again, Flash comes to the rescue! JISC needed an iPad app designed and developed that could be used at conferences and exhibitions that could capture interested parties' contact data. Three day turn-around! Built in Flash and delivered though Air (with a little...
Source Slalom Game
Here's a challenge! The brief here was to produce a 3d style ski game that will work on mobile - IN THE BROWSER! So - where to start? Pure javascript? Some form of game framework? Create JS? Euuurghhhh. After a lot of mucking around I simply went back to good ol'...
Floppy Harold
I don't know if anyone heard about 'Flappy Bird', there wasn't a whole massive media hype about this very crappy indie game at all... Anyway, on the back of all that, I managed to make a version of it for the lovely Cabana restaurant people to include in the App I...
Boogie
A few months ago I got a call from 'serial entrepreneur' Jamie Barber who had been bored on a plane, listening to music on his phone and thought that he'd like to have a small version of himself dancing to the music as entertainment and is that something I could...
Client Music Admin
One of 8track Music Solutions clients recently asked if it was possible for a way of being able to see what music has been played in their venues over the last few hours, so they could keep an eye on their music policy, make sure it was all on-brand. Some form of...
Cabana Music App
Cabana Brasil is a new restaurant group get-up by renown restauranteur Jamie Barber (Hush, Sake No Hana, Villandry and Kitchen Italia) and David Ponte (Momo). They produce delicious authentic Brazilian street food with gorgeous off-the-wall decor sourced from Brazil....
Mobil1 POS Tool
I'll have to let the video do the talking as it's a bit difficult to explain. However, Mobil wanted an interactive walkthrough of their point-of-sale products available to dealerships. Rather than just a list of items, we produced this piece which lets you select...
