Facebook App - 2012

ERA Europe

As an employee of ERA Europe, I created an app that strategically inserts a user’s Facebook content into a promotional 2-minute real estate video. ERA Europe received an iNOVA Brand Management Honors award for its “We Already Know You” Facebook Video Campaign based in large part on the work that I did.

ERA Europe Facebook Web App

Coolest app features

We shot the video on a movie set at Full Sail University. With Facebook Connect, the film (converted to a Flash SWF file) offered a customized experience to the end user by inserting their name, photos, and friends’ profile pics at strategic moments during the movie. I also gave users the ability to post a message on their Facebook wall and send an email notification about the app to their friends.

Biggest accomplishments

  • Mastering Facebook Graph API to retrieve user data, social login with Facebook, and leveraging ActionScript (inside a Flash file) to insert user data and photos at the appropriate keyframes.

Technologies used

  • HTML/CSS
  • Javascript/jQuery
  • Ajax/JSON
  • Flash with Actionscript 3.0
  • Facebook Graph API
  • SQL/SQL Server
  • ColdFusion
  • Subversion

Note

The app was decommissioned in 2015
