We recently completed this brand new website for the River & Rowing Museum in Henley. Using WordPress as it’s core CMS it also features multiple Javascript animations, HTML email subscription and a custom built events diary…

Here’s another motion graphics job this time for our friends at Red Route. We created the animating sequences and laid the sound down but we can’t take credit for the stunning photography. That goes to Michael Blann.

Here’s a video we created recently for Kingston. Based on their existing racing creative, the videos ran on 9 inch point of sale screens in 6 different languages. The animations were created usingle motion the audio track came courtesy of iStock!

Following on from our hugely successful Aerolatte Hot video two new videos for the Compact and Grande versions. Since the original video, content distribution technology (not to mention my kitchen) has changed  and these two reside on the companies very own youtube channel for their partners to stream to their respective websites.

We recently created this online campaign for Cheque Centre via our friends at The Creative Cell Scotland. The brief was to highlight the best possible exchange rates for foreign travel. We came up with a conveyer belt creative solution that perfectly utilised the shape of the Leaderboard advertising space purchased.

AVM is the leading visual communications systems integrator in the UK. They wanted a video to demonstrate the wide range of services they offer and the clients that they work with. We used Apples Motion 5 to create a graphically rich sequence using their own library of images plus one or two additional stock shots / videos. We also commissioned an ‘online’ voice over artist which proved to be considerably more cost effective than the traditional studio based approach. The video itself is used for client presentations, their own website and as a promotional vehicle on youtube.

Google Labs today released a new product called Swiffy that converts Flash SWF files into HTML5 compatible code. We’ve been taking a look at it and although it’s not perfect it isn’t bad either.

While we’re not advocating a return to full fat flash sites (or the ubiquitous skip intro) this does provide an additional string to the digital bow. Used carefully it can afford us levels of animation simply not achievable using jQuery and the like. It also gives us the opportunity to create a more engaging ‘fallback’ than the dreaded ‘alternative gif’.

Flash is dead. Long live Flash!

When Google released their new Search by Image functionality the other day we unashamedly rushed to try it out. Although our initial (wholly unscientific) results were a little disappointing, we still regard this as a wonderful cutting edge technology (WIP) rather than er… a bit of a car crash.

Here at the Deli we get pretty excited about software updates but rarely more so than for our favourite video compositing software Apple’s Motion. Mac Rumors recently posted a number of images puporting to be screen grabs of the next release and we think it all looks pretty cool. UI aside, the utilisation of our 6 shiny new cores (and 16 gigs of RAM) would be enough to leave us in something of a spin…

IT specialist website The Register reports that Google has been lobbying to make driverless cars legal in at least one US State. We love this concept. It’s not so much the Technology behind the idea (or even the questionable health and safety benefits) but rather the thought of being able to call your car from the pub and get a lift home. We’ve also been wondering about the possible Software/Hardware tie ups that might result. Assuming Google Chrome runs on a Toyota and Windows 7 on a Ford then surely an Aston Martin will require the very latest Mac OS?
