Our Selection of Solutions
As a company, Iziks Interactive is defined much less by what we say, and much more by what we do. The best way to learn about us is to take a look at our pride and joy: the projects, product developments and client relationships we've forged over the years. In this, we need say nothing more, because we think you'll agree:

Our work speaks for itself...

As the case studies build up, you may wish to view one of our services rather than all three at once. For a filtered portfolio list, select a specific service: design, develop, or motion.

1. Soapbox Communications Promo CDRom
Soapbox Communications needed a self promotion piece to showcase their talents and impressive portfolio. Iziks partnered with iCandy Studios, who created the design and interface, to produce the CDRom solution for Soapbox.

Built as a stand alone piece, the CDRom contains an autorun feature to automatically start playing when inserted into a computer. The jukebox theme tied in well with the radio/movie clips and promotional materials created by Soapbox over the last few years. The collection of work produced by Soapbox was more impressive when presented together in this design interface. The CDRom offerred a large amount of storage space for all of the high resolution sounds and movie files, while being a common format for distribution.


2. Nauticom Television Commercial
Venturing out of the web-based world, Iziks accepted the job with Nauticom Internet Services to create a Flash-based television commercial. Iziks worked with their in-house design team and translated their design into an Adobe Flash presentation.

Unfortunately not all projects receive the glory and run-time that they deserve or make it to the final format. The Flash format was scrapped after production for another platform and format, but we had fun making it anyway hence its inclusion in our Solutions section!

Sample file available upon request.


3. Powercast
Kappow! When we were asked by our client if we knew 3d animation, the answer was a resounding YES!! The Powercast project gave us an opportunity to stretch our creative and interactive abilities to develop and deliver a 3d animation for the promotion of this new wireless technology.

To view a high quality file, please download the .ZIP file and be patient since it is pretty large (but worth it.) The first 30 seconds are the creative outpour of three intense weeks of hard work and sheer man power.

Iziks was hired by Actual Size Creative which provided the story board and concept for the final animation sequence. We filled in the creative gaps with keyframes, textures, and really cool 3d models. The 3d Maya sequence was the introduction to a trade show presentation and we think the final assembly is just awesome.

5. Royalton

6. ON Media Solutions
This is one of four similar projects all completed in the same time frame for ON Media Solutions. Each of the four website featured a highlighted product or service that was enhanced with a video message. The message was built with Flash streaming video (FLV) and really enhanced the point they were trying to make to their customers. Iziks enjoyed these projects because it was an integration of technologies that worked towards an enriched message delivery.

10. UPMC Presentation
Group 2 Design asked Iziks to help them develop a Flash presentation for their client UPMC. The Flash 8 solution was a two minute interactive slide show and presentation that showed off of the updates features of their newly renovated web presence. The project was interesting in the fact that a complete audio track and overlay needed to be synchronized with the animations.

11. Latrobe Specialty Steel
Actual Size Creative brought us in the door to work on the Latrobe Steel public website. This behemoth project took oodles and oodles of time, energy, planning and creative ingenuity. A large-scale project like this takes careful planning from a programming viewpoint and that is where Iziks brightly shined.

The website was programmed in Coldfusion and fueled by a Microsoft SQL Server database. The content is completely dynamic and editable for the client to quickly make site-wide changes on a whim. The artwork, styles and themes were all handled by the creative geniuses at Actual Size.

There are also interactive portions of the website that add a pizazz and flair such as the historical timeline and integrated streaming Flash video.

12. Northway Oakland
Northway Oakland is a worship service managed through North Way Christian Community church. This website has a distinct personality that matches the vibe and coolness factor of being situated within Oakland.

We were brought on to the project by Group 2 Design, who handled the design, as a production team. We worked with the Group 2 designers to transform a 2d concept into an interactive solution.

13. Tent Show
Technically speaking, the Tent Show is a dynamic website built upon the PHP and MySQL platform. A complete administrative toolkit allows the moderator of Tent Show to add new categories, images, video and content. Tent Show is a collection of social experiments performed by students for a college course. While the public performances and artistic experiences are all over the place, the goal of the site is simple - exhibit the ideas and thoughts of each semester's students. Take a look under the big top and see if there's anything that interests you!
