Interestingly cool, if odd, stock video browser
Getty has released what feels like a Beta web browse experience for its video library. Moodstream can conjure up the appropriate clips from a set a parameters you define via sliders and controls on a panel. The interface feels a little quirky and dare I say corny as you attempt to find clips pertaining to your needs.
Developer Barbarian Group’s blog describes it as “a concepting tool. The modern version of the fireplace. An interactive art piece. TV for the future. It’s a website we created for and with Getty Images to showcase all of their offerings – still, video and sound – and inspire interactive creatives. And it’s really, really fun to use.”
While I think it’s a refreshing take on the browse paradigm, it doesn’t live up to all that marketing jive. Its interesting in it’s attempt to break convention, but ultimately comes off overwrought and too contrived.
