"Metal Tornado" (Film)

Project Role: 
Motion Graphics Designer/Animator
Project Dates: 
July, 2010
Project Description: 
Working with film's script and client's design concepts, I produced over 60 unique interactive user interfaces across four different design styles to be displayed on-camera during production of a live-action film. Worked with tight deadlines and changing technical environments. When previously planned operating system of prop computer systems were changed to Linux systems, I successfully researched and implemented a way of displaying the content while maintaining interactivity. I salvaged archived user interface designs from previous production by employing a SWF decompiler, saving time and resources otherwise unnecessarily spent on new designs.
Tasks Performed: 
  • Ensured clients design concepts were realized
  • Adapted to changing technology environments by employing Zinc Builder to provide media projectors for Linux playback
  • Converted library of compiled Flash SWF files to decompiled FLA files for re-use of existing media assets
  • Incorporated some basic Actionscript into SWF files for user interactivity
  • Converted all produced assets to video through Adobe After Effects
Environment: 
Adobe Flash CS4, Adobe After Effects CS4, Actionscript 2.0, Sothink SWF Decompiler, Zinc Builder, Windows XP/7, Macintosh OS X, Linux Redhat.
