I’ve had over twenty six years experience designing and developing multimedia content for all sorts of platforms, delivery methods and clients. I’ve made hundreds of CDROMs with Director, countless interactive applications with Flash and have spent much of the last twelve years making websites with HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, MySQL &c., although the last four years have seen me moving more and more into video-based animation.
I’m a dab-hand with Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Audition, can handle a camera, know a thing or two about video formats and am also fluent in sound recording, sound effects and music (composition, recording and editing). Oh, and I can also do the odd voiceover too, if required - ask me about my Hugh Laurie impression. Actually, don't, The Wife says it doesn't sound anything like him.
In my spare time I like to ponder the nature of universe and to make biscuits. Well, when I say 'make biscuits', I really mean 'help The Wife to make biscuits' by doing the initial testing of the final baked versions (REALITY-CHECK: that's called 'eating biscuits') and doing the washing up of the befouled implements.
I am also a serial parenthesiser (no, really) and my penchant for parenthesis is second only to my desire to hyphenate - I just can't-help-it.
Isometric Flash-based interactive with a big building and tiny people!
This project was originaly created for use on the company's website and also as a stand-alone interactive for use on employee's laptops.
My role included designing to the specified brief (that would be the expanding building), sourcing and/or creating the isometric elements, all Flash (AS3) coding, construction and xml preparation and I also briefed the photographer on how to get the correct angle so that his shots of the workers could be included within the isometric design.
Note: this campaign is long-since over and Northgate Arinso is now called NGA, but hey, you can still take a look, assuming your device can do Flash...
