I just finished a project for ‘The Art & Technique of the American Commercial‘. It is an interactive flash site that showcases all the award winning commercials since 1992. It loads all the commercial details into flash via php/mySQL and also has a pretty unique filtering system. Which commercial is your favorite?
I’ve spent the past few weeks developing a new section (New Rolex Creations) for the new Rolex site. It was a site showcasing Rolex’s newest breed of watches (apparently they haven’t had any new watches for about 50 years). So it was a tightly guarded project which I was sworn to secrecy for the duration of the project. The section I worked on features some amazing photography, animation and design. It runs on the most advanced CMS I’ve ever worked with and runs in 5 different languages.
You can view the section here.
So I went to the oral surgeon today because my dentist thinks I need to get my wisdom teeth pulled. I think its a form of Nazi torture but what the heck its normal in this world now, so why not. Here’s an xray of my teeth, I thought it looked pretty cool and know most people are interested in seeing my teeth, so here they are. Wish me luck with the extraction.
Another web site that I finished back in December finally launched this week. It’s a site for a condominium complex being built in Fort Lauderdale.
A couple of web sites that I was a part of over the last few months finally launched today. A new Rolex.com redesign which actually won an Adobe site of the day award and a mini-site for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
I’ve always had to come up with hacked math using additional variables in order to tile movieclips properly. By tiling I mean, positioning movieclips so their are a certain number in each line with each additional line being placed below the previous one, etc. So I finally decided to spend the time to figure out how to do it properly.

I don’t know if I even need to explain why I don’t use the Flash IDE but I will for reasons I don’t know. I think Macromedia/Adobe had just given up on improving the Flash Actionscript Panel because there were so many AS editors out there that most people were using that they just figured people would use them instead. These AS editors that are out their are basically their to just make our lives a little easier. And they do it well. I’m sure when Flash CS3 comes out they will likely combine some of the new dreamweaver coding stuff but thats about it. Not enough to lure back most of us F9 haters.
What? Is he crazy, you ask. How can a developer say such a thing. Their are umpteen reasons why I think design is important. Here are a few… Do you know any top agencies that have bad design? Do you want ugly work in your portfolio? Would apple be as successful as it is if it weren’t for those crafty designers they hire? Am I getting my point accross yet? Read the rest of this entry »
Well, I enjoyed having a nice flash site for the few years it was around but realized it was pointless since the search engines weren’t picking it up and I was the only one running up the visitor stats. So here is my new Search Engine Friendly (SEO) site. I hope you like it. With time I will try to make it worthy of all the great Flash Developers out there, and I should be able to keep everyone updated on the happenings of my life a little better than before.
