A few weeks ago welikesmall and I launched a new site for Sarofsky Corp. a design driven production house based out of Chicago, IL. They do amazing video work – I’m a big fan of theirs.

The site is running a 100% custom Django based CMS that allows users to easily upload new projects, including production stills, multiple videos, downloadable media and other information. It also includes an externally embeddable Flash video player that I wrote which allows users of the site to embed videos anywhere they want.

I did all of the development work – which utilizes both heavy Python scripting on the backend, but also quite a bit of jQuery work on the front-end. I ended up using SWFObject 1.5 because when I used 2.0 it wouldn’t allow me to effectively clear out an asynchronously loaded SWF and replace it with static content. Odd.

You can see this site @ http://www.sarofsky.com.
