Well, after an all-nighter, eyes held open with toothpicks, and two full days of work ahead of me, I’ve made some changes to the site. While many of them are “under the hood” there are a few that I’d like to point out:
I’ve migrated hosting servers to help speed load times and responsiveness of site. My last server was bogged down and it was taking way too long to load the site.
The site is now formatted for iPhone surfers, as shown in the image below. This will help make it easier to read and view on the iPhone. The site will automatically load with this formatting when browsed with an iPhone.
I’ve finally updated the about page. Removing the announcement from 6 months ago from the new site.
Now sheehe.net, sheehe.org,sheehe.mobi, sheehe.com, and sheehe.info should all point to the site.
I’ve upgraded to the latest version of wordpress and the layout theme, which should also contribute to faster responsiveness and load times.
I’ve added a new and improved contact form that asks simple questions to stop some of the spam.
The site and my e-mail should all be back up and running. If you encounter any issues, please use the contact form and let me know. Thanks.
Here’s a page from a script from the now defunct WCW. This is from sometime ago when I worked on WCW tapings. It was very interesting seeing how these shows were put together. Some names on this script went on to become well known. Maybe they were well known then too, I didn’t know:)
Here’s a still from a series of latino branding spots produced for Sun Sports. Being a regional sports network that airs around Florida, they wanted to tap into the rich heritage and large population of spanish speaking individuals. The network also wanted to convey that most every program is broadcast with a SAP channel. We utilized Sun Sports large library of content, a rich color palette, and upbeat soundtrack to make a spot that could be enjoyed by anyone.
I DID NOT DO THIS SPOT. I’M POSTING AS INSPIRATION AND TO SHOW OFF OTHERS GREAT WORK.
SEGA and their ad agencies helped redefine video-game advertising and then Sony and its agencies helped refine it.
Here’s a great example of a spot for the PlayStation 2 that appealed to a large demographic. Captivating in it’s visual delivery, with a very interesting choice of music, this spot helped draw the viewer in.
This was aired during the time the perception of video game systems was changing. Ads and branding like this helped change the idea of video games from a “loner 11 year old boy” activity to a mainstream billion-dollar a year industry.
The text portion of this posting originates from sheehe.com. The video is linked from YouTube.
Being part of the media sometimes has its perks. Here’s a pass for a media event at Walt Disney World. This was an enormous event over an entire weekend. The media preview showcased the opening of Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney Quest. In addition, the event had sneak peaks of Mulan, which was created in Orlando, Florida on the backlot of Walt Disney World. There haven’t been many media events that I’ve been to that have been to this scale, we were treated very well.
Here’s a video that showcases how limited budget, quick turnaround, and a collaborative effort can sometimes spark really great creative content. This series of spots was conceived during a lunch meeting with the entire creative team. All different types of ideas were thrown around and this spot shows the concept we all came up with. While simple in presentation, it is very strong in conveying the message. It was shot right in the creative house and the entire campaign was turned around in less than a week. The campaign generated great buzz and respectable ratings.
The series of spots went on to earn honors from Promax BDA with a Gold award and numerous Ad Federation awards on the local, regional and national level.
Nothing beats a true collaborative effort with your creative team.
Here’s a still from a generic promotion for a sports news program that covered the Cleveland Browns. It was produced for Sportstime Ohio. Using footage from an actor getting gear on in a licker room and then composited into a stylized environment.
I finally have a little bit of time to post, it’s has been too long. I will try to keep up with my posts.
Here is a still from a image promotion reliving 20 years of seminole football history on a broadcast sports network. We composited many different historical figures and plays throughout the 20 year history moving along a “virtual” timeline that culminated to the final branding screen.
The spot went over well and had a great feel to it.
