Client : AngelVision

Challenge : AngelVision's website consists of two parts, the media-rich Flash welcome page, and the information section, which was built in HTML tables. After investigating the issues, it was determined that the Flash page needed buttons with feedback, sound level fixes, SEO changes and several movie updates. The information section needed to be updated in CSS, to standardize the presentation and improve load times. Overall, the site saw a 50% reduction in load times, and an increase in visitor time spent.

Client : Every 15 Minutes (via Morse Media)

Challenge : Every 15 Minutes, a teen drinking and driving awareness and prevention program, arranges with schools and cities to conduct a fake accident scenario. This required extensive planning to align the schedules of students, police, firefighters and paramedics. Telling this event as part of a larger story is even more involved, as the back story leading up to the crash, supplemental details to the crash scene and the aftermath of the crash must all be told and turned in a 24 hour time period, as the wrap-up presentation was scheduled for the next day.
Fortunately, we were able to plan, shoot and edit much of the back story before the day of the event, and thus ensuring that the initial part of the video would be of the highest caliber.

Client : AngelVision

Challenge : AngelVision saw a breakdown in communication between their clients, account managers and the developers who would create effects heavy Flash Movies. This breakdown occurred because when you converse about visual effects, it's difficult to ensure that each participant is visualizing the same thing, especially over the phone, hence the need for a tool which standardizes language and provides a baseline for developers to work with. This also served as an internal learning and inspiration platform for the developers.
