A+I architecture of New York City needed a revised portfolio solution that could incorporate their existing paper project cards onto the web.
My partner on this task designed the new digital cards and arranged the layout to look as if you were naturally browsing physical cards on a table.
I tackled all of the complex development including the experimental depth-of-field effect.
Each card enlarges when clicked to show multiple slides that can be navigated via my "flick-to-navigate" Touch-Slide component.
Now A+I can point prospective clients to their new website instead of having to take their cards to them.
I designed and developed this site for musician August Bailey (photo by Sam Wells).
Mr. Bailey needed a site that could put listener's minds at rest with a chill emmersive experience.
Every graphic you see has its own unique intro animation.
I really enjoyed animating the "pixelate" filter made with Adobe PixelBender.
This lil guy is one of my crowning achievements in Flash.
I began designing and developing it way back in 2007 as a means for family and friends to show their pictures online.
Later I decided to sell it as a downloadable widget, though I achieved little commercial success.
The gallery arranges a cache of images side-by-side, and efficiently renders only the relevant portions to the view port.
A number of overlays are superimposed with BitmapData to represent load status.
Faux motion-blur and high levels of customization make this widget a neat way to view photos and video.
This is one of those projects where I have streamlined the code over and over and STILL find ways to make it better.
Last time I counted the lines of code in this thing it was about 3,600.
I had a unique role at Camber Corp. developing full-screen Flash GUIs for U.S. Army online training courses.
Within a month after I was hired Camber decided to abandon their JavaScript GUIs and take a chance with Flash, and I jumped at the opportunity for this task.
By the end of my two years at Camber I had completely re-imagined seven of their eLearning courses with highly interactive interfaces, widgets and tools that streamlined their Flash content production and put them at the forefront of eLearning technology.
The widgets ranged from motion-blurred scroll boxes to preloading video/audio players to drag and drop scenarious and many more.
This was my 2004 Flash portfolio for my senior year of college.
I had barely been programming a year and had already learned how to manage a fairly complex portfolio site as well as build my second mp3 player.
I got this thing to loop through all my projects endlessly on a demo computer during my senior show which ran for days.
These academic projects range from Flash and After Effects animations to more interactive pieces like the eCard and zoo site.
The mp3 player plays music from my comedy group I have been apart of since 1999 (really raw comedy stuff ;)
These are some interactive animations from when I worked as a student for Hypothesis-based Learning (2002-2004).
I was fortunate to have a boss that motivated and encouraged me to develop essential problem solving skills to conquer the challenges that each new animation brought.
My work at HbL helped illustrate scientific processes to middle school teachers so that they could more effectively teach their students.
The unique freedom I had to try new things and really dig into Flash was crucial to my early success in my career.
I wish more companies allowed their employees to experiement and use their own noggins like HbL.
