Video Blog
I started my internship in NYC this week and decided that I would keep a video blog about the experience. Be sure to check my youtube page regularly to see all my posts throughout the summer.

Summer Internship
This June I will be interning in New York City for projection artist, Peter Nigrini, on a new musical by Bill T. Jones. The musical will have video projected with several different projectors. The internship will be an excellent opportunity for me to see a professional company’s process of integrating media and theater. My responsibilities will include video research, editing, as well as working in the theater. Unfortunately, I can’t take a leave of absence from ASI so I had to put my two weeks notice in. I am very excited though and I feel like this is a an opportunity I can’t pass up. I will keep you updated over the summer on how the project is going.

ASI Show! New York
I was in New York this week for the ASI Show! New York. I helped with the multimedia design for a party hosted for our clients. The party was Frank Sinatra theme so I created a 1940s nightclub atmosphere by projecting life-size archival video of Ol’ Blue Eyes performing on stage. In between each act, was a Flash animation about the company’s product. We even had video projected of Tim Andrews, the president & CEO of ASI, introducing Frank as if they were on the same stage together. The room was decorated like a restaurant/bar with movie-size posters of the product hanging on the wall illuminated with spotlights. Check out the pictures on flickr.

Back from Orlando
Although the weather was abnormally cold (the coldest day was around 30 degrees!), my trip to Orlando was pretty awesome! Mark and I spent four “adventure-packed” days in Disney. Highlights included staying in Magic Kingdom until 2 am, spending New Year’s Eve in Epcot, meeting Remy & Emile in MGM, and riding Expedition: Everest in Animal Kingdom. Check out some pictures from the trip at flickr.
The reason we went to Orlando to begin with is because ASI hired Taiko drummers to perform at their conference and I was asked to design an animation to be projected behind them. The performance turned out great – check out the video clip on my portfolio page.

Orlando for New Years…
Five times a year ASI hosts a conference called The ASI Show!. The first conference of the year is always in Orlando and this year, yours truly will get to attend! Taiko drummers were hired to perform right before the show floor opens and I was asked to design an animation that will be projected behind them. Pretty exciting, huh – especially since this project is right up my alley. I will be creating an interactive Flash piece- There will be nine preset animations that can be controlled using the keyboard to play with the beat of the drums. Because this is being created for ASI, I will have to use a certain color scheme and each animation will be abstracts of our logo.
And if you thought that was exciting, since the conference takes place right after New Years, I have decided to go down to Orlando early with Mark and celebrate New Year’s Eve in Walt Disney World! I’ll let you know how the trip turns out when I get back.
