Chopin Museum

This interactive multimedia museum is located in the center of Warsaw and is dedicated to the life and works of the composer Frederik Chopin.

Each of the four floors of the palace is devoted to life and work of the composer from a different perspective.

RFID cards allow users explore a personalised museum experience in one of 8 languages. I programmed the front end interaction of 17 different exhibits which linked to a pre-built CMS which handled the changing of languages and insertion of content.

Little Company of Mary

The Little Company of Mary was founded by Venerable Mary Potter in Nottingham on the 2nd July 1877.

Recently a visitor centre to celebrate the life and works of Mary Potter opened in Nottingham.

For this permanent exhibition I programmed two touchscreen interactives. One based around audio and video content from various members of the Little Company of Mary around the world. The second concentrating on the history of the company.

Hong Kong Animation

Hong Kong Animation

The Hong Kong Wetland Park comprises a 10,000 square meter large visitor centre, Wetland Interactive World, and a 60-hectare Wetland Reserve.

For the first stage of this million pound project we created a large scale immersive animating area which encouraged the user to become part of the landscape. A tilted panel above representing the habitat on land, and another separate below representing the animal life under the water line. A touchscreen allowed the user to control which type of habitat to view and how dense the signs of life would become in areas specified on a map.

My role was to create almost a hundred separate animations. Each one representing a different animal or plant. These were all created using rotoscoping from video footage and treating to change the style of the frames to look more like illustrations.

These animals randomly appear and some also move between the two panels, for example a kingfisher diving to get its prey.

Straits Kitchen

Straits Kitchen on Flixton Road, is the first of a chain of ‘Wellbeing Eating’ oriental takeaways to launch in the North West.

I have completed various jobs for this client. Firstly you can see the flash based delivery animation on their website.

I also completed an SK version of sudoku where photographs of the dishes where used in place of the standard number system. This was used as a competition for website visitors to win a gift voucher to spend at the takeaway.

Finally the menu was converted into an online flip book.
