RED course post

Today I finished delivering my first RED post production course with Andrew Pearson at VET where I work.

I was really happy with what was achieved and how good a workshop style class can work with emerging difficult technologies.

The course was months of work researching workflows and will be happening again, complementing the course at 4corners

The material will be screened at the Barbican please contact VET or 4corners for more information

The Contemporary Fine Art Eton Website

Completed a very interesting gallery website for Nicholas Pritchard at the Contemporary Fine Art Gallery Eton.

Featuring an innovative approach to accessible galleries I think this is something special from myself.

Got to give a massive thanks to Terry Riley, a hugely patient and talented PHP programmer.

Mogwai website

Website for the internationally reowned band Mogwai from Scotland.

I developed designs from Duncan Macdonald using various database elements and carefully constructed HTML and CSS code. For more detailed explanation click to read more for this article.

This site was meant to enable the band and managers to more effectively upload content to the web. It also required a migration of servers and content from another CMS.

The previous site had included:

• photos
• videos
• audio
• news messages.

We took these and developed a few more features to extend the site.

This site has been a success with over 50000 users in the first month of its release. Planning the server requirements and bandwidth was a learning experience and required myself to set up an account using Plesk on a Media Temple virtual server in USA.

This is probably the most ambitious site I have built to date and has subsequently been integrated as a working practise with sites like Schtum and Spacestudios redesign
