Being a first year event with limited online budget we were very limited with the visual assets available to us. The result was an opportunity to take a crack at matte painting to create a spooky environment stemming from our own imaginations.
Tasked with redesigning and rebuilding the online experience, we cleaned up and reimagined Tony Divino Toyota's website resulting in a 3 to 1 improvement in sales related contact.
For the Summer of 2011 we created an online campaign that was half awareness and half rebranding. SevenPeaks had just purchased an existing water park and was looking to...wait for it...make a splash along the Wasatch front. Bad puns aside, the campaign involved the creation of a game banner that allowed kids to engage with the brand without ever leaving the page. Parents could easily click through to indulge their children and purchase tickets.
Utah represents the West about as well as you can. Another early morning wakeup pays off in the end. Not a bad way to watch the sun rise.
Nightmare on 13th was looking for a unique viral campaign to get people excited about their haunted house. Thus Head Collector was born. We built a site entirely in Flash that allowed fans to upload a photo or use a webcam to submit their heads for decapitation. Fans could then share their own custom head via Facebook or Twitter to help spread the word socially.
We even made it on the FWA shortlist. I'm confident that had we had more time we would have snagged a SOTD.
The Seattle Seahawks teamed up with the Washington State Dairy Council to create a video game that would be played by children in the classroom and emphasize physical activity. I was responsible for taking the preexisting design and turning it into a working game. I created an intelligent video loading feature that helped ensure good playback on slower connections.
Originally conceptualized as an awareness site for Parkinson's Disease, the untimely passing of Jim Warsaw altered the focus to a place where friends, family, and colleagues could remember this great man.
Very rarely do we just get to sit down and do something for the hell of it. I wanted to take a stab at something I don't traditionally do and that was a digital painting using Photoshop and a Wacom tablet.
In order for the Seattle Seahawks to create some excitement around the community for the newly constructed Virginia Mason Athletic Center (VMAC) I was contracted to design and build an interactive tour that allowed the public to browse the facilites in a unique and intuitive way. Entire app was fed by an XML file that the client had access to making updates and additions easy.
I did all the 3D work in Maya and built the tour using AS3.
