This website for media production company Toba Film is a Flash microsite with html as a backup for users without the flash plugin and for search engines. It features a scrolling thumnail bar from which you can select a video to watch, each thumbnail is a slideshow featuring images from the video. The videos are encoded as flv (Flash Video). The video playlist is fully dynamic so that new videos can be added easily.

This is the first part in a series of articles I will be writing on encoding Flash Video (flv files) using the Adobe CS3 Video Encoder. I intend to cover all aspects of flv encoding to help you to attain the best results possible. If you are using another software to encode your flv files, such as Adobe After Effects or Final Cut Pro, many of the principles will be the same.
This site, built for photographer Neil Stewart, is the first site 76 Creative have launched this year. Built with PHP, it features categorized thumbnail galleries, the usual biog, links and contact information, and also a moving image section with an embedded Flash Video (flv). All of the navigation for the site is done using images to create the hand written look that we were going for, it uses a javascript to give the mouseover effect for the images. For me, this is one of the best designed sites I have worked on so far, as it has a distinctive style, yet it's simple and functional.
