Reality Theory

While working at PFI I designed the original site layout as well as developed the site actionscript including the Virtual Tour.  I also animated (via actionscript) the flash-based Windows Screensaver.  NOTE: the corporate colors & logo have been changed to the teal family since my original soft blue design but structure/code is identical.  Click here to view site

Here’s the virtual tour interface:

This is a small product promo site done in 2005 for Westlaw while I was employed at Pixel Farm Interactive. I animated it in Flash and for a limited time it ended by offering a special free gift to people who filled out a flash form which interfaced with another developer’s MS .NET.

This short animation was for a Westlaw tradeshow in 2005 while I was employed at Pixel Farm Interactive. I art directed this, including storyboarding & overseeing the photo shoot. I worked to make it feel like a very battered old pixilation by haphazardly adding still photos to the timeline to simulate basic motion and then added an archival film quality to the entire piece. I did the animation in Final Cut Pro and After Effects, and oversaw another animator who did the titles.

This is a product promo Site done for Toro while working at Pixel Farm Interactive in 2004. I animated the piece in Flash and coded the branching menu of product details.

While working at Exploria Productions in Hartford, CT, I had the opportunity to work on animatics, 3d character rigging and animation.  The full 4 minute version of this piece was projected on screen during motivational speaker Rob The Drummer’s 2003 stage show. While the animated Evil Rob character is projected, spaces in the character’s dialog allow real-life Rob The Drummer to “talk” to it as a mixed-media stagecraft.
