PINACOL: Fresh Baked Goods

GE: Augmented Reality

Pinacol executed this banner to run on EyeWonder for Haus and BBDO for General Electric. Amazingly, it's under 300k.

The banner is a tease to what they are calling "Augmented Reality", where you can hold a card in front of your webcam and watch a hologram fold out of the card.

Microsoft Product Demo

Continuing our work for Microsoft, we partnered with the Kissd agency, who provided the creative look and feel, and Digital Kitchen, who provided the video shooting and production. Pinacol went to work over the holidays creating a Flash site experience to showcase three of Microsoft's products.

]]> The centerpiece of the site is the videos, and in order to highlight these assets, we built a robust media player from scratch. Allowing for thumbnail views, chapters, video chapter overlays, send to a friend, chapter links, and content sensitive hotspots, the media player is a sight to behold.

LA Magazine

Want to know what's going on in LA? Looking for the next great restaurant in your area? Look no further than LA Magazine's newly redesigned website. Working with Beach Haus and LA Magazine, Pinacol developed the HTML / CSS templates for the site, as well as the JavaScript modules that allow users to quickly sort and navigate LA Mag's vast archive of articles and reviews.

Laura Scudder's

Did you know Laura Clough Scudder was the very first to package potato chips in sealed bags? No joke, all the way back in 1926. Her company still thrives today and Pinacol was honored to design and build the Laura Scudder's site.

T.G.I.Friday's

When you want milkshakes loaded with booze and appetizers dripping with fried batter, Friday's is your place. Your friend will eat for half price too.

Again working with iDeutsch, Pinacol did some Flash animation and trafficked these out in record time.

PlayStation MLB '08

Ryan Howard is the most feared left-handed slugger that's not named Barry Bonds. And he was the fastest to reach 100 home runs in MLB history.

Working with iDeutsch, Pinacol animated some Flash banners using the 2006 National League MVP to promote the release of Sony's MLB '08.

Hotel Metropole

Hotel Metropole, the premiere hotel on Catalina Island, came to Pinacol to redesign their website.

]]>

Working with Hotel Metropole, we created a new design for the site, and installed it on our framework CMS platform. The site allows Hotel Metropole's staff to update rates, accommodation offerings, photos, and create new packages.

APW Festival

Pinacol worked with AEG to create a new framework for Coachella and the Stagecoach Festival last year, and with the announcement of a new festival we couldn't wait to start rockin' again.

]]>

Working with creative supplied by AEG, we strapped the new look onto the framework, and after a week of optimization the site was up and running, and ready for fans to start swarming the site for details on the new show at Liberty State Park. The site allows fans to check out the line-up, listen to music from performers, and after the show is done, share their experiences with stories and photos from the show.

Intel - Content Syndication

Continuing our work with Intel and Catapult Marketing, Pinacol developed a content syndication site for Intel that will allow retailers to engage customers with a processor configurator.

]]> The site was built in Flash and XML, as it needed to run stand-alone, locally and online. All considerations were taken during development to allow the site to be translated into multiple languages. All text and images were externalized, and buttons and text were built to dynamically grow based on the text. We tested three versions of the site, English, which the site was originally built for, German, which contains characters for almost all European languages, and Simplified Chinese, which works for non-standard language characters. Click below to preview the various language versions.

Shopzilla API Site Configurator

Pinacol was contracted to use Shopzilla's API to create demographic-focused shopping sites. The first was DealDesire.com. Subsequently, Pinacol launched men's and women's sites named Gear-for-Guys.com and Shop-Her-Way.com.

Intel - I Want A Great PC

With the holiday shopping season approaching, Intel wanted a holiday promotion that would allow users to ask for a PC for the holidays. Iwantagreatpc.com allows users to enter in what they are looking for in a new computer, then create a Flash-based ecard that they can send to family and friends.

]]> Pinacol worked with Catapult Marketing on the development of the Flash site, as well as the server side logic. Built in just over two weeks, the site showcased our ability to meet any deadline while still maintaining our high-level processes. The site was built for Flash 8, and is running on an MS SQL 2005 server.

Encanterra

Shea Homes has created happy places for people to live their lives. Happiness should never be put on hold. Here you'll discover the world of Trilogy in a more private country club setting. There's the stunning championship golf course, beautiful resort spa, and a Mediterranean country village brought to life with modern luxury.

Such is life as an Encanterran. Words like exclusive and privilege miss the inspiration behind this enchanted earth. A way to live not in the moment, but in the momentous.

]]> Pinacol worked with JWT Boom in San Fransisco to provide technical support and implementation. We programmed the site to be highly search engine friendly, to work across a wide variety of browsers and platforms, and to be fast and efficient. Does the Encanterran life sound good to you?
