Top 10 Movies of 2014

http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/movies/the-10-best-movies-of-2014-20141224-12dimw.html

Complicated rehash of the 25 things for summer and 2014 music interactives.
Originally the movie trailers were given to me as iframes - but it turns out you cannot command a video in an iframe to stop or pause or play - instead the video must be inline the page.
I had to go each movie asset/trailer in the online content system, suppress the ads, grab the right size clip and find the thumbnail. There are about forty videos amongst all the reviewers and the main page. Enough complaining, you can find the interactive a little ways down the page.


2014 NSW Schools Stats

A big pile of statistics - mostly sorted and illustrated by Remi, then converted into online content by me.

Size 10 across 65 brands


This interactive is special in my heart. I successfully applied a .csv (spreadsheet) file adapted with jquery to respond to the user's brand selection. The whole brand list is populated from the .csv file as well. And, the design is responsive. 

This interactive is a triumph.

24 tips for Christmas budget



There's some pretty good info in here. I tried to make it like an advent calendar. However, instead of a bit of chocolate, you get sage financial advice.
