Take:Casting - From 19th May 2008
May 19th, 2008
A major part of Take:Comics is the exciting pod & video casting component. The software changes how the user engages with audio and video content to create a fully interactive experience. The big news is we are currently planning to release this as a stand-a-lone product, free to use and deliver content on.
Yet to have a confirmed name we have dubbed this “Take:Casting” and while we are holding back on a lot of the details, we can reveal that one aspect of the software creates DVD style chaptering for the podcast and video content. This allows you to comment on specific topics within shows and much, much more.
Beyond social aspects, with some of the additional features we will show off at a later date, we have made it possible to get more in-depth with the topics of each chapter being discussed, by creating new ways you can gain additional related information.
For the content creators we are creating an Adobe Air / Flex application, that will run from your desktop or web browser. This will give you a fast, easy to use tool kit to ready your media for our new system. We have creates a system to allow you run time specific advertising outside of the show along and more to be announced .
We will give you the power to create rich interactive content and new ways to create revenue with no cost and no effort.
Award Winning iWant2b - From 16th May 2008
May 19th, 2008
The project we worked on with Thap, “iwant2b” won the Best Use Of Advanced Practices In Web Development at the North East Digital Awards last night. We are extremely proud to have been part of this amazing project and I am sure the awards will keep rolling in.
TakeOne27 created the interactive flash based user interface for the project, which linked with the complex back-end development Thap had completed. The amount of data processing behind the scenes are mind-boggling and the team at the Thap did a great job making the data access tools along with the creation of the non-flash aspects of the website. We did our best to do their hard work justice and created a user-interface that was both beautiful and made the data easy to understand.
It was the most complex and exciting project we had worked on to date, due to the dynamic nature of every aspect of the content and the challenges involved in displaying vast amount of information, all made even harder by the limitations of developing to be backwards compatible to Flash Player 7. We learnt a lot about developing large scale projects and built a strong relationship with Thap which has continued to this day. From the relationship we have some awesome work completing soon which we will keep you posted on but for now we would like to end by thanking Thap for the opportunity.
