MAX Unawards: Behind the scenes (part 5)

Posted by on Sep 9, 2010 in Flash Platform, MAX2010 | 5 comments

Today this five-part blog series comes to an end. Don’t forget to check out the previous four posts if you haven’t read them already.
  1. About the recording session and postproduction
  2. About personalized video and cue points
  3. Why Flex and how it was put together
  4. About the playback and recording modules

To round off this series of blog posts about the MAX Unawards application I thought it would be fun to compile some outtakes and bloopers.

Oh… And here are a couple of fun facts I didn’t tell you yet ;-)

  • Wim didn’t bring any black shoes to the studio so he’s wearing my sneakers. They were at least 3 sizes too big ;-)
  • I spend a total of… wait for it… $700 on this application. The majority of that was for the studio rental.
  • We rented the golden jacket.
  • We bought the golden shirt.
  • Wim took the golden shirt home and apparently his daughter absolutely loved it.

I had a lot of fun creating this application and I hope you have at least as much fun watching the videos and creating your own MAX Unawards video! And now… If you haven’t already created your own MAX Unaward now may be a good time to do so! All you need is an Internet connection and a webcam. Just point your browser to http://max.adobe.com/widget!

    OMG!

    Serge dude, I was not aware you were going to use this man ;-))
    I think this will haunt me for the rest of my days, which is perfectly fine because I had a great time.

    Indeed Helena loved the shirt (she wears it almost daily now…) so I am glad it has found it’s destiny.
    If you ever need it again, just give me a call :-)

    Thanks for the hard work you have put into this. I know the amount of work these things take.

    See you soon my friend,

    Cheers!

    Wim is so so ready for showbiz.
    The above video is even funnier than the final result.

    Wim, thanks for your hard work on this one. You did an amazing job, and the results speak for themselves. Next time I’m in the neighborhood, beers are on me! (And yes, I do know the risk in making that offer to a Belgian). ;-)

    Dear Mr Forta,

    The pleasure was all mine. I had a great time. Although I have to say that all the credits go out to Serge. He did all the hard work, I just jumped around a bit :-)

    It would be an honor having a few beers on the house with you. When you’re around, just let me know. I know a few very good places.

    Thanks and cheers!
