The Website Foundry's red-hot multimedia team can produce modern media with cutting-edge software and bring it to your site in the following ways;
Take a quick look at what interests you.
If you have music, an interview, or any kind of audio clip longer than ten seconds, 'Flash Streaming' is our means of broadcast. We can style the stop/start/return control panel in any way; Traditional or customised control buttons; click a button, a photo, names, a CD, the list goes on. At the top of this page we used a microphone in click-to-start/stop mode.
When you provide the audio file(s) we have a close listen and if there is any polishing we can make to the mastering such as EQ and 'Dynamic Compression' we will do so to get you the best mp3s. Live⁄Room simulation effects can be added to over-dubbing of live⁄room videos.
Re-mastering for up-and-coming bands is opperated by highly experienced studio sound engineer Phil Darke.
Who else offers this package?
Do you have music in mind for your pages which will require either;
Look no further than Website Foundry; all of the multimedia team are musicians, even the head site developer and graphic designer has been a guitarist for sixteen years.
Videos will be embedded into the pages using the popular and reliable Flash Video player to keep the visitor's focus on your site rather than relying on 3rd party media players in a second window. Control panel appearance can be selected, fancy tailoring not recommended. (Distracts from the video)
As with our music service, the Website Foundry's multimedia team is not just here to plant your files on a page; we can re-construct the visuals with enhanced colour balance/contrast, focus sharpening, scene-to-scene transitional effects, and add scrolling/fading text and images such as business or band logos and credits.
If you would like the ability within your website to broadcast live shows, this service can be facilitated providing we set your site up on a capable server. Depending on the frequency of the streaming and disk space required for any music due to be saved, a recommended host for this service costs £2.50 / £5 or £10 per month, £5 being the more common deal.
With top of the ladder video editing & production tools 'Virtual Dub' and 'Premier', Mr Tim Cooper is available as a connection to the Website Foundry network to blend your footage and serve up Podcasts like the naked chef.
Modern sites which want to make a huge impact with video, animation and music can opt for pages made entirely in the interactive Shockwave Flash Movie format. Much can be done with this format so the consultation may be deep!
Any video and/or music will be edited and mastered first, have augmentations and action script added with precision then made available to you for testing and approval before going online.
A controversial 2007 update to the Real Player plug-in started interfering with some basic yet vital controls of the Flash player. 9 times out of 10 this can be worked around, but if this text is flashing 'Broken Real Player', you have this version;
Real have been notified of this and we are all waiting eagerly for corrections. A link to the correction will be on this page when ready.
For those who know Flash; RealPlayer now overrides the "play","false" parameter so the movie auto-starts even if set not to.
