PhizzPop Interview: Silverlight for cross platform video at University of Michigan

  • 아티클

Just saw this over at PhizzPop.  What is PhizzPop you may ask?  It's a fledgling community site for designers to learn from and showoff to their peers.  The link above is to an interview with Ken Arbogast-Wilson, Manager of Media Development and Production at the University of Michigan College of Architecture and Urban Planning.  Ken talks about why they decided to use Silverlight for video streaming, the impact of that decision, and what the experience is like.  A couple quotes:

"Why Silverlight? 

Ken Arbogast-Wilson: Simplicity and power in one package. I like that I can encode my footage one time, have the player already configured, add a leader and trailer, and get everything I need to go live. With the possibility of up to 720p quality output, I can create work that would not only be usable on the web, but in a studio course, or for student reviews."

and

"How easy was it to do a Video Project in Silverlight?

Ken Arbogast-Wilson: It was very easy. I am a designer first, and tech guy second, and I was pretty excited that I could see my intention show through with very few compromises to the design aesthetic. Between Expression Encoder, Blend, and Design, I have a suite of pretty tightly integrated tools to accomplish nearly anything I can dream up."

More to the interview -- check it out.  Good stuff.
