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
