Near to the end of last year I had a project which involved recreating a kind of simulation game done in Flash (a lot of videos, and a lot of logic using ActionScript) and a number of commercial, proprietary post-production tools. During the planning stages I promoted HTML5. However, it was difficult to see any benefit, both to me and the director. I simply couldn't get the same elements with the same ease in time, and thus failed to offer a presentation. They decided to stick with Flash, but I kept the multimedia tools within the open-source domain for post-production (simply because they couldn't care less and just needed the end-result). Well, the project is on hold for now so I'll see what kind of progress WebM/HTML5 has made up to this point. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD
