Here's how you can add cutting edge impact to your presentations
by including custom elements for Powerpoint, Flash, Director
or Internet projects. |
As authoring tools improve, new media development
is sometimes brought 'in-house'. Traditional graphic designers migrate
their skills to new presentation and animation programs. It's an
efficient way of maintaining style and content control, but productions
often demand specialist features outside
the in-house skill set. We can help. As well as offering a service
to add interaction to static graphic design, we offer a broad spectrum
of custom elements, which are easily integrated into existing projects.
And all of these elements can be developed to run within CD projects
or across the web. You design the screens - we'll provide the engineering.
animated
graphs and charts
Charts
can be stylised beyond coloured 3D columns and pies. We can animate
the growth of multiple series, stopping or zooming into specific
presentation highlights as required. Sequences are provided as video
files which can be bluescreened onto any background. It's an ideal
way to maintain attention during a presentation - the chart builds
as facts are are presented.
VR
panoramas and objects
A
great way of visualising physical layouts of buildings or machinery
or to explore organisations or business ideas. Dragging with a mouse
rotates such panoramas through 360 degrees and hotlinks can be included
to jump the program to other screens. The images may be simple or
complex 3D renderings or based on real photographs
database
connection
Long
experience enables us to extract usable data from most sources,
whether text or database files. Searches can be implemented to work
on any criteria and screen interfaces adapted around any graphic
design.
games
and quizzes
The
right challenge will intrigue and engage the viewer. The 'idea'
needs some consideration. After all, the objective is to provide
a 'diversion' which will also deliver a degree of corporate branding
or product information. We have on screen versions of quiz games,
crosswords, picture puzzles, shoot-em-ups and many more. Or we'll
be happy to propose ideas that will meet your communication objective.
avatar
presenter
3D
modeled characters are good enough to include in new media. Software
allows accurate lipsync to real voiceovers or synthesised tracks.
The avatar can be bluescreened against any background. It's a consistent,
and compelling device for developing a memorable presentation.
calculators
Showing
real numbers is such a powerful way of supporting an argument. Whether
its on a web page, during a presentation, at a kiosk, or on a self
running CD ROM, churning numbers specific to the viewer and delivering
numeric proof of a proposal is an effective, argument closing device.
product
animation
Demonstrations
sell. Whether it's the complete product or a just a single important
feature -
flying
mouse runthrough
Even
with the best interfaces it takes a first time user a long time
to navigate and so appreciate the full extent of a program a program
or website. An animated, flying mouse runthrough can highlight all
your best features.
one-to-one
personalisation
With
increasing demands for impact and originality, customising individual
CD-ROMs for clients is becoming an interesting marketing option.
There are number of ways of achieving this.
movies
and motion graphics
You
see basic versions of this on websites every day. Where wider bandwidth
is available (hard disks or CD ROM) the possibilities are more compelling;
the media is video so you can merge full screen action with animated
graphs, 3D text, music and so much more. And such video sequences
are easily added to any director or powerpoint presentation.
