Designers love Flash. No question about it. I love it because I get to use both sides of my brain to create something visually appealing and cleverly interactive.

SIH OB

SIH OB Playroom

Southern Illinois Healthcare wanted an interactive nursery to promote their OB department. I created the layout and illustrations in Photoshop, and then animated and programmed the Playroom in Flash. The other team members created the videos, audio files, and HTML popups.

 
Maxim Exposure

Maxim / Bud Light Exposure intro

The intro to the Maxim / Bud Light Exposure web site in 2005. I was provided with a few of the graphical elements, but I did the storyboarding, animation, programming, and music. We also did a remix of sorts in 2006.

 
Flextray

"Flextray Man" Animations

Flextray, a cable management company, wanted to create an animated character to make their brand "edgier." I illustrated and animated a series of 10 scenes that are featured on their new site. View more animations

 
Sticko Home

Sticko Home Page Animation

These movies show off some of the services to members of the Sticko web site. There are four total animations in this movie, but I'm only showing the left or right side at any time to reduce "busyness".

 
WOW

WOW Network Demo

I made this flash demo with a minimal amount of direction: only a logo and a script. The idea to draw in the logo was my idea, as was all of the animation.

 
ProMotion!

Promotion Flash Intro

This whole project was done in about 3 weeks, with help from a few other team members for photography and image preparation. The client wanted something that was a little crazy and that built upon their slogan 'Action That Gets A Reaction.' I storyboarded my concept out, chose an artistic style that would allow us to complete the project on a budget in a short amount of time, and programmed and sequenced the whole project in Flash.

 
The Dating Game

The Dating Game

Working with the design team, I put together this short Flash intro for a Bud Light site.

 
Reptile Food

Reptile Food

Working with a 3D artist and another designer, I developed this simple but effective animation for the Reptile Food home page.

 
WSIL-TV3

WSIL-TV3 News Feature

I designed and programmed this rotating news story feature for WSIL-TV3's home page. Stories, links, and image locations are loaded in through an XML document.

 
AWA

American Watercraft Association

Three callouts I made for the American Watercraft Association. The patriotic theme serves to motivate watercraft enthusiasts into action.

 
Lori Coulter

Lori Coulter Demo

This demo's purpose was to convince potential investors of the money-making abilities of Lori Coulter's business plan. Her plan centers around scanning in the body measurements of women and creating customized swimsuits based on those measurements.

 
Nascar

Charter Nascar Popup Ad

Going off of a storyboard created by Brighton Agency, I had to make a racing car tear through the screen of Charter Communications' web site. I had to figure out the ins and outs of Flash's transparency and how to remove most of the movie from memory when the popup "closed". The whole project took me about 3-4 days, the latter part being spent working on client revisions.
