Internet thrills the video star at Macromedia Flash community site.
Products used:
Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, SoundEdit 16
Project Description:
I Want My FlashTV! is a community site dedicated to the support and development of FLASH-generated film shorts and animations created by independent animators, film-makers, flash-media developers, storytellers and students from around the world.
Project challenge:
FlashTV! wanted to provide a community site that offered the greatest exposure for the artists with features that include an enlarged avatar for an engaging viewing experience, an artist information directory and most importantly, a special GO button that takes viewers back to the artist’s personal site, connecting the artist with their fans.
Technical Challenge:
FlashTV! needed a hybrid interface, one that mixed html and flash and allowed our audience to view the movies without having to experience the use of pop-up windows.
Benefits:
After implementing Macromedia’s suite of products, FlashTV! experience a dramatic increase in film submissions to the site, an overwhelming increase of membership signups as well as received an abundance of awards and accolades from the design community and major design publications. Thanks to Macromedia and it’s awesome products, FlashTV! is a breeze to update.
