Video Production
Below are a series of short videos that I have produced. I utilize several different methods of gathering and compiling image information along with sound editing. Next to each thumbnail is a brief description of the video's content and how it was created.
Multiple methods can be employed for delivering video content to users like embeddding the video right on the web page (a la Youtube) or serving up a single .swf player launched in an Iframe as used below. I prefer the latter because I feel that embedding a video onto a page takes up valuable space which may be better utilized for other content which is easily indexed by the search engines.
An alternative method is to have a smaller version of a video player embedded directly into a right-hand column or left-hand column where the video can be played directly on the page. I will be demonstrating this method at a later date.
