I would like to know how many people, how long, what kind of budget, etc. would be needed to create an automotive website like this. If anyone has any inside information about this site specifically, that would be great.
I'm not interested in any comments on what you think of the people who did this work. Just the feasibility of it's development.
Thanks.

if we were building that I recon about 120k (pounds)
thats just for the design and build. assuming that they supplied all the film footage.
If we did the film work, storyboarding and script writing and post production, then add another 100k I recon

a million billion pounds

fuck me!
it's all bells and whistles and space-like but fucking ace!!

did 2advanced do it?
- Bluejam0
"did 2advanced do it?"
I heard yes.
- geeque0
http://www.2advanced.com/flashin… did it for sure. In their news section and portfolio.
- jevad0
please can we not have another 2advanced thread ok?
It's a nice site. Let's dicuss it - not flame the makers...
- Mimio0
There's a whole case study on Macromedia's website.
- geeque0
got a link to the case study?

It still takes ages to load on a t1! It's pretty neat and suits the truck. I think the 2 Advanced style works well on this. Did get a bit bored waiting for the next (short) clip
- jevad0
where?
- JazX0
I would say in the range of 100 to 200K but the again in this economy not.
- gravityroom0
Its almost a great site.
What kills it is the narrator dude. Gives it a late night infomercial vibe...
Kind of like that site for the trade school in california.

I would imagine that the design process would be fairly expensive considering all the 3D work with the truck itself. The video of the guy isn't too expensive. There's alot of people good with doing the head-to-toe green screen stuff. All this stuff defintely falls under 2A's capabilities, you might want to mail them and talk in general terms.

man id like to know too..

I'm only on a tin pot connection today... so just looking at the lo-end, and that's taken about 7 minutes to load... and what does it load... another prelaoder..............AAAAAAAAA...
It's very much like CD Rom stuff I saw AKQA doing in 97.
(Probably the same size too)I like how you can swap bandwidth halfway through though... great idea!
and 200k are you sure? I see a crash heading again!

Here's what they had to say at the studio who did the work:
"1. We had 3 people on the project at it's peak.
2. We did the 3D animations.
3. We had 30 days to produce the entire site, which is about typical of a
high-end timeline."Somehow, I get the feeling he's being sarcastic.

Wow, 2A is more efficient than I would have guessed. Good for them. Auto clients are tough.
- jevad0
30 days? that's impressive
- _b_0
the content is really good too, I'm guessing the designers would have played a part in that, and that can be the hardest and most time-consuming thing to get right.
30 days is really impressive, theres quite a bit of 3d in there too.
