Out of the depths of the screen comes a 3D animated piano that hovers for a moment then slams down to reveal an interactive playable piano with 3 bars of correctly tuned keys. In an attempt to alleviate the users boredom during load times, the piano leaves when user is searching informational pages then eases back to the center of the screen and again is playable while new pages load.

The user can repeatedly click on the main banner to “rev up the site!” The idea was for the site to work like a custom built chopper. Clicking on the Dublin Mob head triggers an explosive animation revealing the powerful logo.

Description:

An exclusive 3D animated spinning chrome and glass four leaf clover marks the enter button. After entering the banner transforms and unfolds into a full Flash site. There are more than 15 galleries with automatic slideshow options. There is a Javascript validated, md5 encrypted PHP log in to a Content Management System where the administrator can update all the Flash galleries. The site also includes a store using X-Cart with a shopping cart and 80+ easily updateable products.

Description:

A three-minute commercial presentation for the Magic Tradeshow in Las Vegas to be played continuously on multiple flat screens during the event. The video features a multitude of motion graphics layers and original backgrounds. Several Bad Boy logos are created in 3-dimentional space with accentuated motion graphics. The project is a choreographed compilation of extreme sports sponsored by Bad Boy and the high-energy music of the Screaming Yeehaws. The hand drawn logos and original graphics, made for the video, spawned an exclusive line of clothing for the rebirth of Bad Boy production in the US. - BadBoy.com

Innovation:

After a lot of experimentation using high-resolution video transitions, load times became cumbersome. The site was intended to have a lot of graphic content resulting in large load times. Making it necessary to have an engaging loading animation. The loader involves four complex videos using a mask that reveals another video correlating to the percent loaded. Then finally there needed to be a loader for the loader. After it’s all done you can call upon the complex loader and it’s already cached and runs smoothly when ever new pages load.

Description:

David Anthony wanted a very strong impact and innovative site to showcase his high-end custom built choppers. The main frame of the site was all constructed in Maya and grows in and moves to the center of the screen followed by an animation of the company name. If you click on the logo the users mouse becomes a 3-dimentional hand gun. The user then has one second to shoot the bad guy in the center. If you’re too slow, the screen cracks and you have to click on the David Anthony Customs name to start over. Unfortunately the project is on hold for now and is incomplete, but can it still be some good fun. Enjoy.

Description:

This is a DVD authoring and menu creation for two of the baddest sports on the planet. Kiteboarding and mountainboarding are some of the most challenging and rewarding sports I participate in. It was my pleasure to deliver them in a dramatic fashion with menus and motion graphic transitions.
