An animated exhibit for the Shedd Aquarium offers some unique production challenges. We recently created a twelve-minute animated 3D penguin habitat scene for the John G. Shedd Aquarium as part of the Oceanarium Reimagined, a significant overhaul to that portion of the museum. At twenty-five feet wide by fifteen feet tall and spanning across three HD projectors, the animation provided many opportunities for us to roll our sleeves up and put on our technical problem solving caps, not the least of which was the fact that it needed to nestle snugly into the organic crevices of a man-made rock formation. Our hope for a seamless and pixel-perfect blend of rock and…Read more »

“Yahoo?! Don’t get me started on Yahoo” Whit says with a roll of his eyes. We’re discussing hosting providers again, and this one’s obviously wronged him in the past. I comment that Yahoo’s page always looks kind of crappy too, and Whit agrees, noting that it’s probably a result of their addiction to adding features. “When you keep adding features like that, you’re likely to become spread too thin” he says, and I concur. We both nod grimly at this major company’s crappiness. On to the next one. Go Daddy meets with similar dismissal, but with a saving grace. In Whit’s words, “They’re a great domain registrar. I use them myself.…Read more »

Having a strong background in print design has served to ease my transition into the so-called “real world,” while it has also presented various hurdles I’ve been learning (and plan to keep on learning) to overcome. At first, I was very hesitant and stubborn to even think about straying away from the wonderful world of print. Then I started working for Mightybytes (one of the internet’s best friends), and I was quickly convinced otherwise. I soon learned that I could apply standard typographical rules to the work we do at Mightybytes on the web, and get satisfying, beautiful design work not only in print design, but on the internet too! Applying…Read more »

My love of Final Cut runs deep. In school, when there was a choice between focusing on Avid and Final Cut, it was a no-brainer for me. I’m a Mac guy, for one thing, and Final Cut is sooooo Macintosh. It also just felt right, and I found the vast majority of the program to be powerful and intuitive. There was only one stage of the Final Cut process that I found disturbingly complicated: the insane amount of options offered to you when you’re trying to export. You just finished your project, and you’re excited as all get-out to show some folks. You planned ahead, and know exactly what format…Read more »
