Wow, we love The Ruby Slipper – great menu, good coffee drinks, and a really nice atmosphere – a wonderfully renovated Mid-city gem.

We recently developed an interactive CD for Tulane’s School of Social Work. Intended primarily for recruiting purposes, it features an attractive, kiosk-style multimedia viewer. It was created using Adobe Flash, then exported as standalone players for both Windows and Mac. This production method allowed us to easily include custom branding, layout and page transitions that would easily translate across multiple software platforms. We handled design, development and production of 1000 pieces delivered to Tulane.

willie mae’s scotch house

Whoa.  We hit Willie Mae’s this past Friday, and all left sat-is-fied.  What a unique and awesome place.  Places like this make New Orleans New Orleans.  Willie Mae’s great granddaughter is in the kitchen, and it’s cash only and one of a kind.  Be prepared for a post-meal fried food coma.

A colleague of ours was involved in the production of a terrific video about Willie Mae’s journey back after Katrina – take a look!

National advocacy org Global Green has been a force for positive change in post-Katrina New Orleans and around the world. We designed and developed their main website, also building a custom private label content/multimedia manager.  We’ve also designed and developed Flash elements, WordPress-based blogs, and a dynamic solar energy calculator for Global Green’s  Green Urbanism group.  We continue to work with their Los Angeles communications team frequently.

We worked with Mississippi-based Unabridged Architecture to develop this Flash website. Using design files provided by their graphic designer, we added smooth interactions to create a visually compelling and unique experience. All of the animation was programmed with Actionscript, and it was created using multiple Flash files loaded in on demand, to make it fast and lean.

We created a number of Flash promotional online tours, including this one for Tulane’s Freeman School of Business. This interactive slide show is set on a timer, which will guide the visitor through the slides. The slide show will continue to play until the visitor clicks on a navigation button, allowing them to go at their own pace. All of the animation and dynamic interaction for this piece was programmed with Actionscript.
