The Challenge
WiseMonkeyRecords had an already developed website constructed in Macromedia Flash, with basic functionality and features. WiseMonkeyRecords initially approached Blank Motion Studios to optimize the videos featured on the site however after much discussion a number of new concepts were brainstormed for the site. These new concepts included the following:
•    An mp3 player for playing the music in the library as well as general ambiance for the website
•    A news system to allow posting of relevant news and creating HTML content for search engines to crawl.
•    A 'send-to-a-friend' option that allowed the user to view a movie on the site then send that movie to a friend with a brief description of the movie
 
The Solution
Blank Motion Studios took the new concepts and developed functional solutions for them. An mp3 player was developed in Flash that allowed for live streaming of music to the user. The mp3 player also featured 2 modes - full view mode and 'micro' mode, allowing for a smaller player to be shown on the main site without requiring the same amount of space as the full view player. A news system was developed in conjunction with a content management system to allow for easy management of the news for the website. The existing Flash website was also optimized for quicker loading and the 'send to a friend' feature created, allowing the website to be quickly spread amongst a user's friends.
