Simple iPad Splash Photo/Video

Project Description:
Project demo: http://www.eshock.org/dem/

Project description:
An iPAD-only picture/video gallery that displays pictures and videos. There are two modes for this gallery - Random Mode and Ordered mode (refer to the sample top right buttons). Upon touching one of the pictures/video, the background would be blured and the picture/video animated to the forefront. In the event the media being clicked is a video, the video would be played automatically (there should be the user video control too). Else if the media is a picture, the user would have an option to click to learn more about the picture. Once the user clicks anywhere else on the screen, the media would close and return back to the gallery (any videos playing would have to be stop too).

Project features:
1. Load the pictures in random mode on startup
2. Ability to select random/ordered mode during usage
3. Ability to turn background music on/off. (default on)
4. Ability to click on picture to display more details about it.
5. Ability for video to be played on click - controls to be superimposed over the videos much like youtube style
(basic icon to pause, play and stop should be present too.)
6. XML file to store the path to the pictures/videos as well as title and writeup of the process if any. This is for easy editing in future.
7. Ability to select different processes. (refer to demo, and see top left "galleries")
8. The display of pictures/videos should be enclosed inside a polaroid picture.
9. Some level of animation is required between transition. Again, refer to the demo

Example XML:
<configuration>
<admin>
<music path="background.mp3"/>
<background path="background.jpg"/>
<logo path="image.jpg" />
</admin>
<gallery>
<process title="process1" default="true">
<media type="pic" url="images/pic1.jpg" title="test1" description="long description"/>
<media type="vid" url="images/pic2.jpg" title="test2" />
<media type="vid" url="images/pic3.jpg" title="test3" />
<media type="vid" url="images/pic4.jpg" title="test4" />
</process>
<process title="process2" default="true">
<media type="pic" url="images/pic1.jpg" title="test1" description="long description" />
<media type="vid" url="images/pic2.jpg" title="test2" />
<media type="vid" url="images/pic3.jpg" title="test3" />
<media type="vid" url="images/pic4.jpg" title="test4" />
</process>
</gallery>
</configuration>


Information:
1. The project was done entirely in AS3 and the source would be given to the programmer.
2. All creatives such as buttons/background/polaroid pictures etc would be provided.
3. This program has to be done in Objective C for performance reasons.
4. Project must be delivered within 2-3 weeks
5. Deliverables: source codes, compilable by xcode

Why this is simple:
6. Program only need to be develop for iPad. Also, all creatives would be provided.
7. Pictures and videos would be given in a predefined size. No dynamic resize required.
8. Not really a need to do pre-loading since the pictures/videos are all local within the ipad
9. No need to do provisioning of the app, i.e. no submission to appstore required on your part.

Again the demo is: Project demo: http://www.eshock.org/dem/

* to show that you read the entire post, please provide me with information about the video format which you will be able to support on the ipad app. i.e. AVI.. MPG.. MP4 etc..
** I am looking at making a decision within the next 24hrs.
