We did some fun work for EyeBallNYC, a motion graphics house in New York, on an Open Source project called ResourceSpace. Even cooler, is that EyeCandyNYC contributed the code back into the community so others can use it, build upon it, etc. We were the vessel moving this forward. Thanks EyeBallNYC and ResourceSpace!

Here is the text to announce to the ResourceSpace community list:

Hi all, I made some quick infrastructure and plugins for http://eyecandynyc.com
who is using resourcespace internally to manage some client assets.
They wanted to have the default video be quicktime and at the size of
the video they upload since their main clients need high quality video
to see their motion graphics.

Here is an updated plugin set that works quite well and is built for
future extensibility.

It also has a companion plugin which is useful for making the previews
directly show video rather than just the image thumbnail.

Oh, these are built off the work initially discussed here:

I’m not sure if there is a better place to put my code, or to alert
people about this. I released under GNU LGPL and hope others will use,
add to, send patches, fixes and/or more…thanks to Eyecandy who said
they wanted to give back to the community for this great piece of
software!

Also, I will have another patch to the saved searches to make them a
bit more friendly to appear at least like collections within
collections. Anyone interested in that???
