Landing page for animated product introduction video

This video animation was designed for a landing page. The primary focus was to explain how the software worked without getting overly technical. They want to show the concept of the software. The animation is simple and light. The story line was written by Scott Marino (That’s ME) and I also animated and narrated it. I then built a simple landing page for the video animation to help gather leads. The theory is, after someone watches the video they are ready to sign up to learn more and a representative in their market place will contact them. The video animation page is advertised on Facebook and Google. It is getting a high conversion rate because the page format primarily leaves the viewer one option, watch video & fill out form.

Video & Puppet Fabrication

The SEO Butler Hand Puppet Mascot

This was a puppet project created for seobutler.com. The primary focus was to have a fun, animated puppet video to announce their service. They will be using it to break the ice with new clients. The puppet will also be used as a mascot to explain different services in the future along with a corporate identity. With the SEO Butler puppet they will be able to narrate over top of a screen capture to help explain specific website features. The SEO Butler is in this puppet video with Mr. Billy Business. Visit the Bill Business puppet website. The story line, music, video work and fabrication was all done by Scott Marino (That’s ME).

Bucky Dent’s Baseball School is a well-respected baseball school locate in Delray Beach, Florida under the direct supervision of Bucky Dent and Larry Hoskin, Bucky Dent’s Baseball School is committed to helping students improve their game and become better players. When the school was purchased by new owners, on of the first things they did was start a website. It was my job to propose 3 different website design compositions to choose from to later be built into a complete content manageable website. Although the website has since changed course ,this was my favorite design of the bunch. The site was completely designed by me along with a full photo shoot of all the students in training.

Complete CD Case with support promotion material

For this project I took the photos and then did all the haunted special effects in Adobe Photoshop to make the ghost, textures and coloring. I used this as the theme for the entire package and completed the design with Adobe InDesign. Every aspect of this project was done by me, photos, stickers, support promotional material, CD case layout, envelope concept, bulk mailing, migrating a mailing list to college and independent radio stations, online promotion, myspace, posters and website. This was my baby from concept to completion and I didn’t have one typo. Guess what, I also wrote all the music, played all the instruments and recorded all the music in my home studio. I always wanted to release a CD. After getting some really bad offers from indie record labels I just released it my self. In the end it was a great success as far a independent release. I received 1000′s of downloads, lots of magazine and blog reviews and lots of college radio airplay.

Multi Media Design

This was a flash presentation I made in Adobe Flash to demonstrate how the D-Tect 3d x-ray machine worked. This video was made before the actual product was finished. I did all the illustrations in Adobe Illustrator and then animated it in Adobe Flash. I used multiple scenes in flash to assure fast load time online. Click the buttons on the right to navigate through the presentation or click the large arrow on the bottom of each screen.

Corporate Image

The Cabanas specializes in men and women designer swimwear, resort wear and accessories with an emphasis on personal service and attention to special needs. The selection is unique in that it encompasses the newest and most beautiful beachwear from around the world. When they first opened the doors at the first location in Jupiter Florida I was delighted to design the corporate image for such a distinct company. Having no previous image, the companies corporate image was completely up to me. For this project I started with the logo design. In most situations I like to keep my logo designs in vector format. When doing a project like this I needed to consider the logo would later be used on vinyl cut signs, wood etchings and other formats. I used Adobe Illustrator to design the logo and then Adobe InDesign to layout the postcards and business cards with some help from Adobe Photoshop for the picture frames, backgrounds and textures.

This is a full body custom I made for a photo shoot. I have a lot of material like this. Just recently I’ve been shooting footage with Rafn Halldór Gíslason. It’s been a lot of fun. This is the first draft. I’m basically uploading this so I can show it as an example tomorrow for a creative agency that will be placing me for work in the future. I will be doing lots of edits in Adobe Effects and filling it up with lots of motion graphic animation. Shooting and editing film has been a valuable new learning experience that I’m applying more to my website development projects. Check out http://Rob3rtGlitch.com Soon I’ll be uploading some step by step tutorial that show how I make costumes. More to come soon.
