A few weeks ago my friend James was taking pictures for Anastasia Kollakis, an up and coming jewelry designer from Greece. During a break he decided to film the model for a few minutes using a small digital camera, thinking that the footage would be good to create a test promo for Anastasia.
So with a few tweaks and some extreme time-stretching this is what we came up with.
As video is becoming more and more prominent in my portfolio, I can’t help but feel more and more detached from Flash. So having something like this in my portfolio makes me feel a bit better about betraying my geeky roots. I really hope to spend more time on Flash as it would be a shame to let it all go after how hard I pushed to study it years ago; but I fear that time is going to be difficult to find and that maybe outsourcing work to new talented kids would be a possibility if a company structure were put in place! This company is actually in the pipeline and logistics are being discussed during these weeks, so maybe I’ll have some news in the near future about this.
Back to Skunk Anansie, the website for the return of this 90s rock band has been all over my schedule for almost a year now, and finally having it out of the way is a relief to say the least! I worked remotely with Casper Franken from Shotopop to make it all happen. He too care of Art Direction and Design while I fiddled around with things that fall under Development and Interaction.
Although I spent a larger portion of my working life as a Flash Developer, I have lately developed a taste for video. This kicked off when I began making a video series called REBELRAVE for an underground techno label, and since then I have enjoyed making a variety of abstract and experimental videos.
I have also been making music since my teen years, so occasionally I may publish something I made in my spare time in between long video renders.
Flash is still something I use on a weekly basis, making websites, experiments and visuals.
