During the project we were considering severe software. Idea was to complicated for use on mobile phones so Flash Light was out of play. Mock-up was done in Photoshop. As we had specific requirements to reach the result we wanted we needed to find appropriate software. We were thinking of using Flash or Director and later on also direct coding in Quicktime. We needed to take into consideration alpha channel support, superimposing videos and interaction with individual timelines. Director is much better for work with video which stays external, it’s easier to code. Flash was too complicated for coding and required importing the video. Shira spent lots of time with research trying to find the best solution.
The first choice was to use Quicktime as it’s scriptable and supports multiple video chanells together with Director which integrates well with Quicktime. But as Shira found with new version Quicktime dropped the integration features and 3rd party tools for quicktime wiring. So as there is no immediate solution for high-level interactive video at present we decided to do only demo of the product and use Flash with embedded video. This led into sluggish result as Flash cannot cope with the required calculations.
