ID Theft Days Microsite flashcs3photoshopcs3

The ID Theft Days micro-site was built with Flash and Maya. All of the animation was rendered in Maya and exported as an image sequence. The animation is controlled by custom tweening scripts that I created to animate the image sequence from one point to another. This includes backward animation as well as forward.

Directions

  • While the image sequence is loading you can find out how much your company may be losing to identity theft.
  • Once the sequence is finished, you can click on one of the items on the desk or the drawers to proceed into each section.

IMA MMFX Kiosk photoshopcs3flashcs3

This project uses Actionscript 3.0, Flash CS3, and Photoshop CS3. The kiosk is installed at the Indianapolis Museum of Art in the Manufacturing Material Effects exhibit. I used Papervision 3D to create the 3D animation and objects in 3D space. Tweener was used for the animation. The navigation is touch-sensetive. Each group of Architects is added as easily as adding a single line into an array containing all of the projects.

Directions

  • Allow the video a few moments to load completely.
  • Click play to see a screen capture of the kiosk in action.

Digital Corps Messenger Widget dashcodedreamweavercs3photoshopcs3ajax

This widget was given to me as a quick project that is meant to help out the computer lab workers in taking messages for the Corps administrators. The problem in the lab had to do with student lab attendants taking sub-par or incomplete messages from people who call in, or in some other way attempt to get in contact with a manager or administrator of the Corps.

Ball State University Libraries Mac OSX Cardcat Widget dashcodephotoshopcs3dreamweavercs3phpajax

I took on the project after the original team left and needed to re-write most of the existing code. I finished it and added some extra, unplanned, features in about 7 weeks. It was built entirely on OSX 10.5 Leopard while Leopard was still in its beta stages. The project uses PHP, Javascript, and XML to interface with Ball State's library servers. The widget is installed on all the university library's OSX capable computers.

This project was done as part of an intensive course on interactive television at Ball State. While another team of computer scientists were building a televised version, I was responsible for building the web version. We collaborated as much as possible, sharing RSS feeds and content managements systems that we built using PHP. A group of News designers provided most of the graphics.

Directions
