Firestone Walker and 3i design

It’s always a pleasure to work on a collaborative project with like-minded professionals, so when 3i design approached me about some flash video work they were doing with the Firestone Walker Brewery I had to get involved.

3i are a very open, committed and humorous bunch, so I knew that working with them on comedic shorts intended to sell beer, I’d be destined for fun. The most ridiculous part was when Wyatt and myself had to improvise some of the sound effects for the videos. We basically locked ourselves in a conference room with a laptop and tried to not to laugh whilst we took turns recording a range of dirty laughs, appreciative groans and other silly noises (including Wyatt’s star-turn as a woman scorned).

Here are the results.

Advaliant

A while ago I had the opportunity to do a fun little job for advaliant, an online marketing firm (having previously developed the sliding banners on their home page).

Flash animation is one of the most enjoyable things I get to do in my work, because the program allows a lot of flexibility and makes it possible to communicate with a lot of personality through something as simple as a web banner.
