Some Random Dude

Finally, I can write about this. I am going to keep this relatively short today, but I will try to write more in-depth about this project later on. I had the fortune to be the lead on Current TV’s Viewpoints project on design and development. The design and interactive features are pretty simple, but we wanted to make the experience to be have rich motion and subtle stylistic informational cues. The application was built in Actionscript 3 and a lot of the motion design just could not have been done without AS3’s improved performance. There are a lot of pieces that are still to come in for this project, but my hope is people enjoy playing around on Viewpoints and end up leaving webcam opinions of their own. If you do in fact like the design, concept, content or a combination of them all, I would really appreciate you putting out the word to your friends/colleagues about this project - Viewpoints will not work without extensive participation. One easy way to do this would be to add it to your delicious bookmarks.

On a side note, I am in one of the topics, but you will have to look hard.

More to come.

So my life has been consumed by my role in the Current TV Beta project - in fact, it is directly responsible for the lack of writing or content on this blog for the past month or two. All the being said, it has been a blast and I would love to share the work I have been a part of. Once all the dust settles, I will talk much more about what I did, but for now, I wanted to hand off my remaining 5 invitations into the private beta if anyone is interested. Considering I most likely have only 4 readers left from my absence, I do not foresee much fighting - still, first come, first serve.
