Just finished my MultiMedia end-term project…

Overall

We had to make an interactive flash application combined with ’self-made’ video …

It’s a pitty i cannot bring it online at the moment, it is over the 300MB, but i will once i get the time to shorten it a little in size…

Concept

The concept is simple, the sun comes up, the city awakes, and when the sun is fully shining the users gets a introduction of a person , who walks into the movie asking him what he wants to do today in my home town… (Are you a shopper? Are you a Cultural person? Or are you the adventurous type?)

Depending on his choice he gets a city map with different locations , when cliking a location het gets a new video in the little TV , showing him the selected location.

When mousing over a ‘hotspot’ on the map, the user gets information regarding the location …

The user can also export a pdf with the whole walking trip / usefull information …

Screens

Anyway here are some screens, i also combined some AffterEffects in my projects, so those little things are of course lost in these photo’s …

General GUI

Choose the category (AffterEffects)
