Alaska 3D Artist: Marry CGI with Photography
These past few weeks I’ve been building a website for a medical alert product (You know, the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” people). The ability to create 3d versions of their products has been a real asset. Another thing that’s made a big difference? Integrating 3d with photography. In this image I was able to build a wristband and pendant version of the product, that I married to some stock photography.
GCI tiered pricing no problem for this Anchorage Web Video Specialist
Am I happy about GCI’s new tiered pricing? My pocket book says “hell no!” I don’t like it one bit.
Beyond that—philosophically and strategically—I am convinced that unlimited high performance broadband for everyone is vital to the state’s education and business interests. The internet is like a modern roadway system for how we do everything. It’s foundational and indispensable.
Yes, what I just said conflicts with my strong capitalistic ideals and conviction that GCI has a right to dictate its own terms.
I hope at some point we can figure out a way to make it all work better for Alaska internet users, while still providing GCI, ACS, and MTA lots of revenue.
However, from the standpoint of a new media professional…I have no worries. I’ve mastered the techniques to deliver rich media through thin pipes, and I’m getting even better with advanced compression/decompression.
A Real Dog of a Summer
The headlines are confirming what none of us in South Central Alaska have missed: It’s been a real dog of a summer. Hardly a true summer at all! But maybe our canine friends can help remind us one can get wet and have a ball at the same time. Yes, indeed!
Five or six portfolio pieces coming
I’ve had a busy year and haven’t kept my portfolio updated. I’ll be changing that soon. In the meantime I’ve added a sample to one of my secondary web sites.
Anchorage Video Productions is a video-centric site where I feature some of my work.
A new web site: Seaplanes!
I wanted to announce the debut of a new Alaska website:
SeaPlane Alaska!
I just started on it so it will take some time to whip it into shape. Seaplanes (alternatively dubbed Floatplanes) have been an emerging interest since I came to Alaska. The site celebrates the state’s pilots, adventurers, and the amazing planes they fly.
