Project: IBM Innovation
Client: IBM
Agency: Rogers
Role: Image Production, Video Analytics
Status: Active | Visit
My task on this project was split into two: image preperation for approximately 10 articles on three sites (Macleans, Canadian Business, and L'Actualite), and developing the video player for each series. The image preperation is the boring part, but the video player is a bit more interesting. The video player uses actionscript and google analytics to track how may times the video has been played, stoped. The page itself also uses google anayltics to track which items on the page have been clicked on, which I also set up.
