Project
Here's the first preview of what I've been working on every day since I started my job 10 weeks ago. Full version will be up on Monday and I'll give you all the creative credits then. Film company provided us with their edit and I went in and did some tweaking in Premiere to add titles at the end and such.
Songs We Wish We’d Written – Levon
Levon by Elton John - I have no real idea what this song is really about. I do know, however, that I've been captivated by this song since the first time that I heard it. It is just musically captivating. People may hate on Elton John, but the guy can write a song - well he can write the music to a song.
Quality
Dia Frampton covers "The Cave" by Mumford and Sons
(if only the audio were as good as the video).
Aside: I think that her "shy girl" persona on The Voice was totally fake. Girl has 4 records she put out independently and several dozen YouTube videos. Don't buy the hype. But she's still great.
Wait for it…
So, I knew what it was when I first looked at it, so it kind of spoiled it. Took my eyes a few minutes to really settle on the visual. I find it a bit reminiscent of Inception. Can't wait.
First Big Project
Last week, my first big project at my new job went online. When I got here, I was assigned to "re-skin" one section of our website. As ideas began flowing, the project grew quite a bit. Check out the before and after shots.

In the interest of giving credit where it is due... my role in this process was mainly project management. I did a small amount of coding and and gave general direction for design concepts. Our graphic designer did an awesome job and our out-sourced web developers executed the changes with little difficulty.
Next Gen gifs
This is a concept called Cinemagraph. Basically, it's the next generation of the internet classic .gif animation for the HD crowd. Pretty amazing if the loop doesn't become too obvious.
