for the contest Flash Video Player
Submitted design #7
Hi Brian,
I've tried to focus on sleekness for my entry. To me, glossy black just oozes high-end quality, but you might think it a little too dark.
As you can see I've illustrated a rollover on the play button. When clicked I intend that button to change into a pause button, as can be seen with other video players.
I'm not sure what functions and controls you would like on the fly-out panel on the right, so I've gone with a minimal design.
Let me know if I'm headed in the right direction.
regards,
Simon
Simon,
This is by far the best entry as of yet. I really like the direction you are going. What do you envision for the popup menu when someone clicks on the "Share this movie" ?
Great work!

Thanks, glad you like it!
For the share this movie popup I think a black semi transparent overlay works well. I've illustrated it in this new entry.
I'm not 100% sure if overlays work on video before Flash8 though, is that a requirement?

Simon,
I love this design.. my favourite. Looks like there are some designers that are making things similar, but I consider this the best so far.
Can we add in a "star ratings" from 1 to 5 stars...
And can you confirm with me that you can make these elements work in Flash in terms of the popup windows moving in and out, etc... I just want to make sure...

Thanks! I'm a bit disappointed by some of my fellow designers here, but such is life I guess.
Absolutely, I can convert this into flash. I'll PM you the details.
Changes in this entry:
- Added the star rating.
- Moved and narrowed down the "share this movie" button. Also made its highlight color a little more subtle.
- Enlarged the top left star so it is visually distinct from the rating stars.
Simon.
