Video, Graphics, Interactive, Production
While working as an assistant to Jim Ferolo at Bradley he approached me about helping produce a large fund raiser for the university.

My duties on the project were pretty varied as a producer and while I was responsible fr co-ordinating a week long studio shoot, and developing the style and interface for an interactive game show, I also lead small groups in production work, did concepting in After Effects, and co-developed the whole show within our Watchout system.
This work was all for a multiple hour fund raising dinner for the university. The show featured live interaction with pre-recorded video elements, and pre-made and live composites.

Additionally there was a huge amount of animation involved, with real time flash, and a web ans SMS based backend for the interactive parts developed by Steve Merrill and his class.

The video above is a compilation I put together to be shown at the 2008 NMC summer conference to showcase the work. It shows video from the set-up of the stage and testing, and then video from the live show mixed with what was being shown on screen. The last part is the credits shown on screen after the show, which also show a lot of great pictures from the development of the project.
