Disneyland Holiday Minisite
My Role: Lead Flash Designer
Full flash minisite used to promote Disneyland’s Holiday event. The site looked amazing and really brought out the feeling of Disney magic.
Challenge:
Very condensed time schedule. I worked as the main Flash Lead and as the main Flash Designer / Developer for the project. The site was very media heavy and was a great challenge for loading and unloading content. The site also needed to integrate with the broadcast TV and print campaigns. It also uses geo-targeting for special offers and implements some pretty heavy tracking for both English and Spanish sites. We also needed a Spanish version and the ability to change the Special Offers based on the users IP address.
Solution:
We used video special effects to light up the scene and for the homepage animation loop combined with snow built on a particle engine. We also used a multi-plane environment to achieve the sliding effect between sections and panels. The event dates and park hours were handled through a special data feed and the the countdown clock used special logic for before and during the event.
