Web Site Development
Multimedia Development
Emsar Portable Pump movie
Emsar makes pump and spray tops for dispensers. They wanted a promotional movie for their newest product. The movie was a real team effort: one designer did the storyboards, another did the video, photography, and music, and I did the prop dressing, animation, and coding. It turned out to be a nice little piece that Emsar was able to use for promo CDs and tradeshow exhibits, as well as their Web site.
Web Site Development
Celine Dion Parfums
My two major contributions to this site were the "Celine Dream Team Tour" virtual scrapbook and the "mini" site for Celine Dion Parfums Belong. On both of these projects I was the primary designer, animator, and coder.
