Powerade Zero: LeBronTime
Hijacking the YouTube Player
This interactive video poses as a normal Youtube experience. Hijacked standard Youtube controls to create the illusion that LeBron was watching the user, such that interaction with any of the standard player controls would trigger a relevant video response from LeBron.
Architected a dynamic video loading solution to ensure responsive playback regardless of which effect the user triggered. Featured a faked comments section with a lite LeBron AI that would respond in real-time to user-submitted posts.
Partnered with YouTube to gain unprecedented control over the player API.
Responsibilities: Programming
Tools: Flash, ActionScript 3, YouTube API, Robotlegs
