Tech Video: Hulu Plugin for Windows 7 Media Center

Andrew — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 18:00:38 +0000

This video tutorial is created with Adobe Flash, Camtasia Studio, and a little bit of Photoshop. The intro and ending portions were done in Adobe Flash and then converted to Quicktime files. The music and voice-over was recorded in Audacity. The screen capture video and final processing was done in Camtasia Studio.

This video was produced for my tech site, digitalgeekery.com, and show how to integrate Hulu Desktop with Windows 7 Media Center.

Tech Video: Rip a DVD to your Hard Drive and Play it in Windows 7 Media Center

Another Tech tutorial I did for my digitalgeekery.com site. I used Adobe Flash to create the animated portions with just a dash of Photoshop, and Camtasia Studio for screen capture and final processing. Audacity is used for the music and narration.

Reconstructing Kandinsky

I wanted to create a Flash animation that essentially reconstructed a famous painting or at least the work of a well known artist. I’m a fan of Kandinsky’s work, so I choose one of his pieces to reconstruct. This work, titled “Orange” is not one of his best known works, but I really dug it and thought it would be fun to animate. I tried to look at it from a unique perspective and imagine how it could be created in “animated fantasy world.”

I used Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash to create this animation.

iPhone Commercial Spoof

I started playing around with drawing and animating an iPhone with the idea of possibly using it for another project, but thought it would be fun to do an iPhone spoof since I am always chuckling at the apps that Apple promotes in their iPhone commercials. I’m not sure if my made-up apps are any more ridiculous than many real iPhone apps or not… I’ll let the viewer decide.

I also discovered while doing a little research for this piece that “Brontosaurus” is an obsolete term. I initially choose Brontosaurus because I always assumed Dino from the Flintstones was a Brontosaurus, although I have no facts to back it up. It turns out the Brontosaurus was misclassified due to hurried & improper research and the dinosaur we’ve grown up thinking was a Brontosaurus is in fact an Apatosaurus. Anyway, I found it interesting.

And yes, that is me playing the “iPhone music” on acoustic guitar. The real song is called “You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie” by the Submarines and I’m certain it can be purchased through iTunes.

Animated Corona Ad

My fun little version of an Corona beer ad. All the animation is done in Adobe Flash. Some of the assets for this one were originally done in Adobe Illustrator and imported into Flash.

Wawa Hoagiefest Jingle & Animation

This is the video and jingle I created for the Wawa Hoagiefest contest back in the early summer of 2009. The music is just me and and acoustic guitar recorded in Audacity with some minor effects added afterwards. All of the artwork and animation is done in Adobe Flash CS3.

A banner ad for an imaginary product, Swisher Hoop. Initially this was going to be a nerf hoop animation for another project.
