sweet promo site, great use of 3d and video in flash, love the details, the fact that you can switch from high to low band at anytime without the whole thing reloading.
can you guess who made this?
:D ;)
very nicely done, well put together, hm 2a right? lol
I assume, stole the link from ultrashock :)
dude...thats so freakin nice. congrats to 2a on this piece, prolly the most impressive thing i have EVER seen them do. i'd like for pixelranger to give us some details about this project, if he would be so kind :)
thats really really good. hats off to 2A.
There seems to be no difference when you click high and low. Anyone have an idea what is actually goin on with that?
This is one really well thought out site. Mad props!
the difference is the video. In the LOW Bandwidth version, the video (of the man) is not shown, whereas in the HIGH Bandwidth version, the man is shown, and speaking throughout.Quote:

there work is looking smoother and smoother.
but still not perfect =P
Bad ass site, bad ass truck. I've wanted that new 2004 F-150 since I seen it on Car and Driver TV. I hope to have mine, the XLT.
Best work from 2a for some time. v.cool
Very impressive site, works very well.
Must of had a lot of money thrown at it to pay for that time and effort :)
for once I have to agree with the masses, great site, loved it.
goddaem, that is just AMAZING. im so jelus. They are so fraking good in 3dmax that i asume this is amde in. Its just crazy that there are people that can make this kind of sites.
Is it 3dmax or? im going to try to learn myself 3dmax soon. I have it in school :D
The site for this is the main keystone ad on MSN today. Funny enough, I went to MSN first, noticed the OTP (over the page ad)and went to check out "learn more" from the link above, which takes you into the site. It has 2A signature...
Based on the site itself, and a fan of 2A since EJ was at Design Insites, I would have to agree that this is among their top 3 pieces of portfolio work they have produced to date. It is simple, and the usability was well executed, especially for using video with After Effects.
Shane, you recently mentioned getting your feet wet with the AE application...and right now I would say you're riding the high-tide! Excellent work. A+
Ford spent over a billion developing that truck, since it is the highest seller of all Ford vehicles, this site just shows that extra effort. Once again, very well done. And yet again, can't wait to get my truck, i see the moonroofs not available just yet, so I'll be waiting, and saving.
OMG!
does anyone know more sites with video and flash integrations like this one?
the site is advertised all over yahoo as well. thats some great publicity for 2advanced for those non-designers...
Absolutely amazing.
There has been a huge amount of traffic to that site in the last few hours, so if you can't get in from the link above, try here.
Link straight from Shane.
a really nice promo piece. and good integration of flash and video.
a question i have is does 2advanced actually make these 3d models, or does ford give them the models? cuz if they actually had to go and construct all those models, thats just too crazy:)
Mmm the first link didnt work for me, but wow, really nice. I found that man a little anoying but he made up for it with his spectacular transportations in and out :).
I doubt they made the actual 3d models, I'm sure ford has models of every single piece of the truck, so unless it's in some proprietary format it would definitely be crazy to build them from scratch.Quote:

Im with aversion here, Ford needs the 3d models for the engineers to get their ideas and everything across to the execs of the company. 2a was probably sent a 3d model and they animated as necissary.Quote:

This one was posted a few weeks back.

thats a reallly good presentation btw.
I haven't posted in awhile, and I'm glad that now that I'm finally posting, it's on this thread. What a terrific use of Flash...outstanding.
My question is, are they using Flash Communication Server to stream the talking man, or it that all preloaded...I bet it's FCS. Any takers?
OMG 2A has reached a level of insanity in designing!! Dayum!! I noticed they r trying to incorporate the Bluish Neon light transition as the host enters the scene the way Infinium Labs did
Gawd I wish I could just spend a day with these guys and see how they work. Sweet site!
:yikes:
After effects is amazing! I really need to learn it.. i tried before and we just lost :(
wowsers .. beautifull stuff !!
i actually hoped 2A.v4 was more like this ;)
is it the guy from probe3.com who creates all the 3d things over there ?
I don't see why you'd use the flash comm server for something like this, the flash comm is really only useful if you're doing dynamic stuff, like video chat, this is 'static' in the sense that it's just a video, you'd load it like any other SWF I assume. It would just be preloaded.Quote:

check your temp internet files ;)
A strong belief that the 3D models were outsourced by a 3rd party.Viewpoint had previously created the 3D models for the Ford Expedition, and 2A was responsible for the Expedition site itself.
btw...Aversion, nice change of icons!
I read this in a new york times article about the american motor industry today;
a lot riding on this I guess.Quote:
Ford is placing a huge emphasis on its updated F-series pickup, the perrenial best seller in the United Sates. Pipas [chief sales analyst at Ford] said he could not remember a vehicle that had received mre attention within the company in his 27-year career.
thanks, still from family guy ;)Quote:

I heard the same thing, from CarandDriver, motortrend... one of those car shows on Spike TV. At least a billion dollars went into the development of this truck. But eye candy doesn't change my mind on wanting the truck, i wanted before i saw the site, I just want it now since i've seen it. Anyone plan on going out to the debut showcase that started yesterday or today at a local Ford dealer near you? I might go take a closer look Saturday.
2a? wow, im impressed. very nice work. i looked at it before i read the thread though and from teh style i was 99% sure it was flashlevel. style, animation, sound fx.
i am impressed this came from 2a though, i have been disappointed with their other work lately.
Nah, it screams Pixelranger. It has Flashlevel-esque AE stuff, but it still screams Pixelranger and 2A.
IMO, their best portfolio site to date.Quote:

Thats crazy man, even the main site looks great, but the flash video of the guy and the 3d models looks stunning. 2A really know how to set the standard!
pretty cool how we all agreed this was a sweet 2a site lol
maybe i spoke to soon... :D
anyone know if this website is still online somewhere?
Yikes, 3 year old thread necro.
I have no idea. Maybe try the wayback machine.
