Multimedia


 

Multimedia such as video and Flash/Silverlight presentations can be a really effective way to get a message across.  With short videos, such as the Gene Mills series I wrote for BlueVolt, a complex marketing message can be concisely delivered to an audience that stays engaged.  Keep them in their seats until the credits roll.

Adding interactivity, such as the Microsoft Forefront project, allows the viewer to explore the information in their own way, focusing on what interests them.  I can conceive and collaboratively produce the media that best suits your message.  I know some great designers and video pros who can make it come to life, too.
