Using Gaia To Develop Royal Salute
Gaia has always been a framework that I wanted to use to develop a website, and so when I got the chance to develop this project, Gaia immediately came to my mind.
The site itself was kept pretty simple in the effects departments, because it had to portray the heritage and premium quality of the product, so classic fade ins and outs were employed. Although my passion is to explore generative effects, it was good to keep it simple for this project as I can then focus my attention on how Gaia works. 
Although I met up with a couple of difficulties during development (due to my inadequate knowledge of the framework, of course), I must still say it was a joy to develop. 
Transition changes between pages were easily fixed because of the Gaia flow, and adding pages to the site was a breeze with the scaffolding engine.
In addition, it also helped me to create the context menu, deep linking to various sections within the site, and gosh! I can even forget about loadMovie, because the loading of external assets are already taken care of by Gaia. It definitely made the development of this project so much more enjoyable!
The website is now live, and you can check it out here.
