James Frankham has been focussed on delivering content to the online world since working for one of London's leading design agencies developing intranets for Reuters and British Telecom.

More recently his particular focus on delivery of rich media - audio, video, animation and editorial writing and photography - through digital media has seen him specialise in providing web authoring services for the film and technology industries as well as rich interactive content of his own direct to the public. He has also been interviewed on TVNZ and National Radio about the future of interactive media.

STARSHIP MILLENNIUM VOYAGE
1999-2001 / www.ms-starship.com

James Frankham was Media Specialist aboard the Starship Millennium Voyage, an international voyage around the world sponsored by Sony, Microsft, Deutsche Telecom and the World Wildlife Fund promoting environmental awareness. Frankham produced written stories, digital photographs and video, all edited onboard the ship then uploaded over satellite to a website that he built and maintained. It attracted a readership of eight million people.

WILDLANDS
2003 / www.wildlands.cc

Subsequent to the Starship Millennium Voyage James Frankham wrote the book Wildlands for New Holland Publishers. The book includes references throughout to a website where readers could listen to local music, download video clips, see more photographs or read outtakes of the written material and link to other sites of interest. It was the first book in New Zealand to be shot entirely on digital equipment and to have a fully integrated website. The site has been immensely popular and was even thoroughly reviewed on BBC World's top-rating show Click Online. The website is still being actively used by readers.

TANIM
2002 / www.tanim.cc

While filming for the award-winning one-hour documentary Tanim in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, James Frankham designed and built a website which the entire production team contributed to. It was live during the production attracting thousands of viewers in anticipation of broadcast. In fact the photographs were so popular that Time Magazines licensed them for four publications as well as the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne Age. It was one of the first documentaries to run a website during production, now a fairly popular strategy for building an audience. The website still exists for broadcast and DVD sales of the documentary and remains an important resource for Political Studies, Anthropology and Governance departments in academic institutions.

SCREEN DIRECTORS GUILD
2004 / www.sdgnz.co.nz

The Screen Directors Guild website is a regularly updated site driven by dynamic database technology allowing administrators with no website experience to update and add content from a custom-built online portal. The site was built from the ground up in consultation with the administrators themselves to provide simple one-click systems, even for public searches of their entire database of members.

OCCASIONAL PRODUCTIONS
2005 / www.op.co.nz

Designed and built for the notable producer Annie Goldson, this low-budget website accesses a database of all her films and can be maintained from a simple 'back-end' website that requires no internet skills. The site was constructed so that filmmaker herself could make all and any changes to copy and content, could add and delete films at the press of a button and maintain awards and festivals sections.

PERFORMANCE LAB
2005 / www.performancelab.co.nz

Designed and built in state-of-the-art Visual Studio in ASP-X to deliver a custom-built e-commerce solution for an Auckland-based performance sport company. The site had to be easily maintained through a back-end, able to display and sell a range of products through a shopping cart as well as take detailed sports surveys from clients and deliver all the data over a secure server back to the company. Administrators had to be able to filter the data, add, update and delete products and maintain all site content. The site also plays audio and video files through a custom-built player.

NEW ZEALAND TECHNOLOGY PARK
2006 / www.nztp.com

A preliminary sales site for the new Auckland technology park. All animations were produced in-house by Splice as well as copy and brochures.

NEW ZEALAND TECHNOLOGY PARK DATABASE
2006 / Secure Online Database

NZTP required an internet 'wrapper' that meant that all staff could add, delete and update prospect details regardless of their location. The database has vastly increased productivity in the office and meant that two part-time staff members could do more hours for the company because they could work from home.
