Digital Signage:
Using skills from producing motion graphics for television.. Here is a sample of a few of the digital signage spots that I have worked on remotely from Brisbane for a Sydney market. I am very interested in making my digital sign work look as well designed as possible so it doesn't just look like another powerpoint presentation.. Lots of background movement and sharp punchy text seems to work very well in a retail environment. Check out my article on motion graphics for digital signage - explores some of the aspects of design for out of home displays.

I've added a "how to" page - some of the things i've learnt using After Effects. From using scripts to tricks for windows to speed up working with projects. I usually have a "brain file" as a txt document wherever there is an installation of AFX to keep a record of tricks.

Just got back from semi-permanent in Sydney. It was unbelievable to see the process that some artists use to create their work. I was very impressed with the workflow of Debaser and Superfad. I have watched Superfad's work for a long time so it was good to hear them speak.
