Scope of works: Software development (Scala, Visual Basic, VBScript and After Effects)

So, the World Cup is almost upon us. An event that only occurs every four years making it unique in the world of sports.  The patience, the build-up, the long qualification process always makes it seem so far away, yet here we are on the threshold of the event in South Africa in 2010!

While reviewing screen content on the Surgery Media Systems digital signage network, the decision was make to add a new World Cup 2010 content item.

I liaised with the syndicated news feed supplier and arranged a free service upgrade which included the World Cup 2010 news feed.  I also updated an existing piece of content created in Adobe After Effects, adding an appropriate background image, then modifying the back end digital signage software and scripts to incorporate the new World Cup news feed.

Displayed on a large 42″ LCD screen, this content item makes up an existing content loop of approximately 15 content items.  Three separate latest World Cup 2010 news stories are shown within the same content item with an aesthetically pleasing fade between each story.
