One group we had pleasure to work with Flying aerobatic team established in 1946 To enhance the Navy and Marine Corps recruiting and credibly represent the Navy and Marine Corps aviation Inspire potential recruits, fellow service members, American tax payers Done through amazing flight demonstrations –millions spectators a year, At airshows fly low altitudes (50 feet above the ground), tight formations (18 inch apart), and speeds (solos just under speed of sound) Original site provided information, but not inspiring, didn ’t elicit the emotional response

Wanted to help, partnered with us Build site that extends their flight demonstration beyond the airshow to a wider audience and enhances that experience. Homepage was the primary point for HTML5. Let ’s take a look at that.
====What you are looking at==== Animated UI (CSS3 Transforms, JS) Custom Loader - Audio player (Canvas, JS) Background video/audio (Video/Audio Tags) ====Why did we do this?==== Get people excited, draw them in. Will impact the rest of the experience Tie it to the Feature pages (Silverlight) Why not in Feature sections – Entry vs. Destinations within the site (IIS) ====Why HTML5==== Background element – no plugin prompts
NonHTML5 browsers Mobile – resolutions, inline playback , bandwidth, data plans (cost) progressive enhancement – baseline, then video Just delivered image
Inconsistent Playback - Injecting the video tag (stuttering) verse removing on detection
Supported was not standard. CSS3 Transforms behaving differently
Encoding Video - Mp4, OGV, WebM video size (baseline 12.7MB, MP4 high profile 6.38MB) Audio (MP3, OGG – 534KB) verse Wav (6MB)
Video Ripping – some animated elements delayed until after video
Browsers released while making the site: IE9, Firefox 3.5 & 3.6 Lots of testing
Event Model – Firefox 3.5 “ended” event and looping, “progress” events (videoJS)
Atypical use – had to work with videoJS to play correctly
Results: =================== Site Visitors More than doubled Time on site went through the roof (mostly video)
