Working with our design partners at MediaEnmasse, W+A completed an update to the Administrative side of a PTA website.

Complete with a new Content Management System, Event Calendar, and File Library.  Even the school store has a spot on the site.  The content is easily updated by a roster of Parent Volunteers who will change each year.

In June, I spoke with Mario Armstrong of WYPR’s Digital Cafe about the new technologies being introduced to bring 3D to the theatre audience.  We’ve all see cheesy 3D in the past and left the movie with a headache.  But these new technologies along with advances in animation will bring an enhanced experience that will pull viewers off of their sofas and back into the theatre.  In part 1 we discuss these new projection technologies and some of the new movies that will use it.  Podcast - Part 1

After discussing the upcoming 3D movies in Part 1, Mario Armstrong of the Digital Cafe, and I talked a bit more about the technologies behind the creation of the movies.  In particular, the wide availability of animation tools such AfterEffects and Cinema 4D / Maya / StudioMax.  I also talk about what is needed to use these tools to express your vision.  Podcast - Part 2

Our last official project as Push Productions was our first for the national design powerhouse, Trahan Burden and Charles.  All we can tell you is that the project was a Flash application interacting with 3 other servers nationwide.  The application included it’s own XML based CMS and supported SOAP and streaming Flash Video.  We also provided a substantial amount of AfterEffects animation.  Very cool stuff.

A new kiosk was developed and installed to commemorate the new McDaniel College Sports Hall of Fame.  The finished installation included energy efficient computer and display systems while allowing for easy update of the content from a web based Content Management System.
