Diesel Island FW11
Posted by Philip Bulley | Filed under Portfolio
Diesel Island FW11 is an interactive video showcase of the clothing Diesel would like you to be wearing as the year draws to a close.
It’s predominantly an HTML5 video powered site, but seeing as the awesome <video> tag isn’t supported by some not-so-awesome browsers (looking at you IE8), the wide web world turns to the much hated Flash Player to save the day! Apparently only 61.75%* of internet users will be able to experience the HTML5 Video version, so there’s no getting rid of Flash just yet, even for sites such as this, that would be more suited to HTML5.
On the whole, this was a fairly quick job: creating a custom video player that would interact with the CSS/HTML/Javascript overlays.
Kudos to @ihart and @jjenzz for painstakingly crafting the HTML5 version to work across browsers including Safari on iPad. Via Stinkdigital and Santo London.
