a restaurant chain operating a franchise of 6 stores in greece is seeking development of flash promos, screensavers and games to distribute over the web and cd's as well as play over the web, including site development portal using asp access db for development and sqlserver7 as implementation db
code must be such that with a boolean switch we can convert to sqlserver7 or higher db connection
the asp code must be fully documented and use some framework (multi level include files etc)that seperates the content from the layout, allowing for multi layout system multi themed (skin) and multi langugage using some sort of random number or admin choice to choose layout and theme. default language to be english with flag menu choice to change to other language. the site must be thematic based using css to control themes. the content and menus must be multi language capable in greek and english, using db files to control the msgs/content.
food and beverage menus with images must be controlled and uploaded by admin. each restaurant location must have its own page with images and content uploaded by admin in all languages.
extensive use of css overlay with 50%-70% transparency is encouraged. especially for special events and menu items.
additional themes and skins can be developed for each of the main holidays in usa and several themes to be named by client.
the graphics in the promos etc must involve an apple (red delicious) and a bee (queen bee). the thought is the bee is to be personified similar to the ants in the movie Ants.
the promos must have the bee interact with the apple in some way and finally morph into the apple as a bite, in a 15 second spot.
another promo idea is for the bee to move up a winding road and finally reach a store represented by the apple logo.

to all developers/bidders
thank you for your responses.
i must point out that a decision cannot be made solely on your promise to do an excellent job of which i am
certain all of you can deliver. we need to evaluate your ideas regarding the flash promo as a story and character
development.
prior to deciding on who and how many ideas to accept, we are in a position to work with multiple teams since we want
about 5-10 different promos and games and complementary screensavers.
we must first choose a character that we find suitable to represent us for the following several years, as an iconic
image unique and with lots of personality.
our concept is that of a friendly inviting personable bee using the colors of red,green and yellow (gold).
The face of the bee is considered most important to make people feel comfortable with this hero and as an iconic
repr esentation of all our stores.
i am thinking along the lines of the movie ants as an example. with a woody allen type of bee or a sharon stone type
bee. pls be careful not to use them as models but use that kind of idea/concept.
i will first ask for your ideas to build this character and storyboards for further development and will pay seperately
for such work.
once i have the characters in place, then we will call for the storyboards of the flash promos and their respective
story ideas. i will be prepared to buy 5-10 such promos as would like to rotate them and eventually make them into
chapters of a bigger story that will be given on cd rom with the games.
the next phase will then involve the web site.
the final phase will be to create screensavers and games using these and other characters.
pls let us get some creativity going here and have some nice and interesting and unique characters.
lastly, the various story ideas and sc reensavers should use the concept of the apple and or a bee in well known situations.
for example, the bee may substitute for the snake in the adam and eve story, or a bee may follow johnny appleseed
as he plants trees, or the idea of a bee in your bonnet, an apple a day keeps the doctor away etc etc
pls let me hear from you along the lines above as to character development
thank you
