This is a website I created for an all organic catering company.

It uses a simple HTML frame structure to display pages. This style is very outdated these days and is hardly ever used. Modern techniques tend to dynamically rebuild pages into one file, rather than keeping them all separate. I helped the company develop much of the content for the site as well as taking many of the photographs personally.

I used many different advanced techniques in the production and design of this site. This was one of the first times that I used 3D animation within a site. The basic idea with this technique is to pre-render a 3D scene to video (AVI) and then import this into flash as an FLV (Flash Video). The video can be played, paused or stopped from within Flash. This means that complex 3D animation can be achieved within a site without the high processor cost of rendering on the fly.

Within the site I used this technique for the introduction video and navigation menu. Both of these scenes are based around the same objects; the knife, the fork, the spoon, the wineglass and the menu. I personally modelled each of these from scratch.

The logo we used for the site was developed from a picture of the owner.

The site used to be available at http://www.fresh-flavours.com/ but the company has since shut down and so I host a copy of it on this site.
