Stormtracker Interactive Multi player Flash Application

Developed a large scale flash game / simulation to teach students the process of hurricane prediction and preparation. This app is completely dynamic running off of XML and CSV files to allow for limitless storm sequences. It utilizes the latest flash video technologies. It will also allows for two students to work together on the same storm instance from miles away. One student acting as the forecaster and the other reacting to those predictions planning for the affected cities.

Acct1st Document Management Software Video Demo Site

Another project I worked with thisClicks.com to develop. They shot the video segments on a greenscreen with local talent, and designed the basic layout. I developed the site, coded the video functionality, and built out the presentations. Lastly thisClicks.com added some final tweeks and additions.

Judge Nelson Kiosk Project

Eduweb asked me to develop a Kiosk interactive project for a museum that teaches the user more of about the Scott vs. Sandford Supreme court decision. It Includes several videos of actors describing their role in the case, and an interactive timeline to allows the viewers to compare dates using touch screen controls.

Agent Dragon Student Recruitment Program Multimedia CD

The Agent Dragon program, is a multimedia CD used by the Minnesota State University Moorhead, to recruit students from around the world. It guides potential students through the CD with a virtual dragon, that can talk and interact with the users input. For this project, I modeled, animated the agent. And I also developed the user interface and back end code. Distribution: 1200

Denon Electronics Online Ordering System

The Denon Electronics needed a system for users to locate specific merchandise from retailers near by. This system allows users to browse and purchase merchandise online. It is simple to use and instantly alerts retailers to the purchase, using the Blackberry device made by Nextel.

Fujitsu Online Live Technical Support

Fujitsu is interested in creating an advanced online tech support system, using multimedia tutorials, forums, video, and live chatting with tech's. I developed this system for both client side and tech support side that allows the tech to view what users are looking at and privately chat with them, to fix any problems they have. I developed this system using Flash Communication Server.

Punch Pizza Resource Management Web Application

Freelance project created for Punch Pizza that allows the management to share contacts, set calendar items, manage users, and share files with all the other locations online. Created using XHTML, CSS, PHP5, mySQL.

Metromark Web Site Rebuild

Was asked to take over a project with a current design and flash ideas from a client that was not producing results. I rebuilt the site, cleaned up the graphics, created several flash interactive's and animations, created imagery, and developed the XHTML / CSS. I was asked to create the flash interactive's based on current plans. I completed the project in around three days, and the client was very pleased as it was precisely what they wanted.

Blue Cross Blue Shield Health Monitoring Web Application

Blue Cross Blue Shield contracted us to make a web application that allows users to answer questions everyday regarding their health, and record the data into a database for display. This site uses several web technologies including AIML for the virtual agent (MS Agent), ASP .NET, Flash Remoting, Flash Communication Server, mySQL, and XML for the news ticker on the top right. I was responsible for the complete creation of this project excluding the ASP .NET development.

Pink Floyd 3D Animation

I created this Pink Floyd Video, cause I like their early music, when I was just starting to learn 3d Studio Max. I won top honors at the MSUM Student Computer Graphics Festival in 2001. I am more experienced with 3ds max now, and there are some parts that make me cringe so I don't like to post it but if you ask nicely... 3D graphics is not my strongest suit, but I think its a fantastic tool to have while designing. Just don't ask me to make Shrek 3.

Ziggy 3D Agent

Ziggy is an alien that I modeled and animated to use as an agent for one of my multimedia applications. I used 3ds Max as the application, and I used the box modeling method to create him and built in bones for animation.

Various Architectural Renderings

For a couple of weeks I was given the opportunity to work with Concord Wilshire, to create several multimedia experiences, web sites, and virtual 3d models of condos that were to be built. The project was created to help buyers better visualize what the environment would be like. The image above was created from scratch.

University of Minnesota Moorhead's Dragon Agent

When I had finished working on the Multimedia CD for MSUM, they had stated that they did not like the agent that was created by another company, so I was given the task to create a more "personable" dragon. After some time and a few models I created "Smoke", The dragon you see to the left. Smoke is fully rigged and as a set of 28 animations to guide the users through the CD experience.

Indiewood Pictures Flash Site

I developed an easily updateable flash site for Indiewood pictures that allows them to showcase their upcoming and completed films and includes a video player for the trailers. This site also includes sections for all the general information about the company and its employees. I am still waiting on content for some of the films and a graphic they want to use for the upper header. Click on the image to view the actual site.

Concord Wilshire Virtual Condo Site (Mockups)

I created these mockups as part of the Concord Wilshire project. These were some of the designs I offered for that part of the project. You can click on the image or take a look at some of the other mock ups here - Second - Third - Fourth

Mendoza Law Offices

Asked by thisClicks.com to help them complete a web site for Mendoza Law Offices. It includes custom graphics, CSS rollover Menus, and a clean simple design. I work with thisClicks.com fairly often and if you want to work with a company, I recommend them for quality work and fast turn around.

Trs Industries

Just a sample of work I did when I was at Ecliptic Technologies in Fargo ND quite a while ago. One of the first commercial projects I did. TRS Industries is a company that makes various kinds of tarps and coverings. Just a simple clean informational site to show examples of their work. They were very happy with the final result.

Westwood Billiards

This is an example of a simple but effective web site used to show some of Westwood's products. It allows the user to view various designs and view the details of each table. This site also has a email submit section for easy contact.

White Construction Flash Web Site

This is a web site I worked on as a freelance project with XKrew in 2003. It has a lot of "flashy" builds and transition. It has all the basic categories describing the company, staff, and projects. One of the most interesting parts of this project is the location map, pinpointing the construction sites for each project you select on the left.

Pier 500 Club Flash Web site

This is another web site I created with XKrew in 2005. It is for a night club in Detroit. It is completely flash based and has a full blown php admin section for the client. It allows for dynamic photo gallery, news section, current events, a full mailing list with templates and verification, and a menu (still in development), all coded from scratch. It uses flash (of course), PHP / AMFPHP, and mySQL database.
