"This campaign for Rob Dougan's music track from The Matrix re-loaded uses a QuickTime 'skin' that is much smaller than a standard digital video file and contains much more content."
It's called a skin. Not a 'skin'. :-)
It's not smaller then a video file.. It isn't a video file, it's an interface.
The video files you load up in the skin are the same size as ever."This format has been under development since before Christmas. Whilst in this instance it is being used to distribute music videos, it could also carry advertainment. Comments on the format is welcomed."
Even though it's cool that you've done this.. It has been done before by Smallhands.com.. For some wacky American boy band.. Seen it at the Quicktime live conference, 3 years ago..
I hope you didn't charge your client for developing it since christmas, because that's prolly how long it took you to learn Qscript/livestage..
I can't believe the real scripting part of the project took you more then a week.. Otherwise you're doing something very wrong :-)Btw next time you might want to try targetting the quicktime player with your link on your site.. Otherwise it crashes the browser..
Try creating a quicktime movie with a simple sprite button that links to the quicktime player, also it would be good to add some quicktime version checking.And the bandwidth switching isn't working..
But keep up the good work, because I do enjoy seeing quicktime stuff.. Just don't overhype existing technology and ideas ;-)
