Here’s a holiday E-card I made for a local cable company.  I tried to make it as non denominational as possible since it’s getting sent out to a wide variety of people.

I do the snowman’s voice and my son did the kid’s voice. I know the sound quality isn’t amazing, but hey,  I don’t have a proffesional recording studio in my attic. sorry. The list of holidays Click Here For More…

This is my second project for my 2d animation class. I spent a lot of time on it, then the file got corrupt, and I had to spend even more time on it. So many late hours….ugh.

The graphic talk scene is a clip from the “Golden Girls”, don’t ask why. The phototalk scene is a student at tri-c and the audio is Tommy Wiseauo in the “Room”. Also the music in the animated mask scene is from an artist called Nullsleep. I also made a nice lego man for the zoom scene, if I don’t say so for myself. The movie Click Here For More…

Here’s a link to my first animation project for 2d animation. It might take a minute to load

This is my mock up for a non-profit farm that my web 2 class is doing a site redesign for. It’s a local historic farm in Parma, oh. I decided to go with the rustic look, I also thought a simple navigation would be good for the site’s audience. I built this mock up using Adobe Fireworks cs4 and PhotoShop cs4

So, I just downloaded one of the newest programs in the adobe library, Flash Catalyst. I have to say I like it. It’s a program to help designers and developers stream line flash application development.

As a designer I can create a mock up of my application in illustrator or photoshop and transfer it over with all the layers to Catalyst. Then from within Catalyst, I can add interactivity, motion effects, transitions, etc. A designer can create an almost fully functioning app. On the developer side, this catalyst creation can be brought into Flash Builder 4 and add additional code and functionality.
