“i’m a mck” 25 August 2009

by pop demand i have a new auto tune short to share with you guys.

CAREFUL! this will steal your heart.

this one features my niece who is just shy of 4 years old. her name is McKamy Howard, a.k.a. “big mck”, and she is my sisters. she is a little heart breaker so don’t say i didn’t warn you.

LATE NOTICE :: let it be known that 1. none of the following was rehearsed and 2. she already knew all the songs. submit all complaints to her mother. ha

do work 6 August 2009

i am excited to share with you a web design i have been working on for 821 entertainment (that’s “eight twenty-one”. if you miss-pronounce it eric will scold you with a 120 db crow call… trust me.). its now in coding and a quick version should be up and running very soon with a more dynamic version in the works. initially i intended it to be completely flash, very dynamic with a introduction page (the second screen shot) but with the target audience in mind we toned down the depth… for now.

all of what you see below is all my photoshop CS3 work. I leave the intense coding to the REALLY smart people and in this case that banner goes to new friend richard stevens. The rest of the site will have a real contemporary clean feel driven by light boxes. hope you like it, if you don’t… don’t come back. just kidding… no, but seriously. =)821final1

this next page was intended to be the intro into the flash site. the intro included a jib zoom into the doors, doors creaking open, sun bleaching out the screen, “eyes adjusting”, a room with a view kind of feel. Picture 22below are some early concept sketches
