Readeez.com. 150kb.

Readeez.com, a developer of reading systems for kids needed some sort of presence for his new, yet-to-be-developed web site and asked for something cool for potential visitors to use instead of some plain old form mail. Tell him Mike sent ya.

Three "Anti-Viral" animations.

Remote Backup Systems does all it can to protect your valuable computer data but it also needed some good advertising, so they turned to me to develop some viral animations to churn their message. The result was three fairly amusing animations for you to share and enjoy. Choose from Bull (100kb), Boo (500kb), or The Dog Ate My Computer (500kb).

Stormy the Storm Drain. 550kb.

The city of Garland, Texas approached me to animate a lively little 30-second TV spot designed to  teach children about the storm drain system. The crackerjack voiceover was provided by a Dallas-area rock musician whose name completely escapes me.

Garden Mosaics. 130kb.

Cornell University runs a science-based web site that emphasizes inner-city, cross-generational gardening. Their home page needed a little sprucing-up so they had me develop this small yet elegant "tree growth" widget.

Time/Motion Study. 123kb.

There are companies out there whose job it is to help industry run smoother by analyzing how things get done in factories. They wanted a series of animations that showed the difference between a well-run shop and one run the old-fashioend way. This animation intentionally featured no music or sounds, in case you're wondering.

Ziploc. 219kb.

Ziploc bags are amazing bits of technology all on their own, but the unceasing pace of progress requires that even this humble storage device innovate or die. This animation, bought and paid for by the Ziploc folks, shows a few customized options available for anyone willing to pony up the dough.

High Noon Over Hainan. 430kb.

Somewhere over the China Sea, near Hainan Island, a U.S reconnaissance aircraft and a Chinese fighter jet collided. What really happened? Who know? This amusing little tale is how I imagined events transpired.

Galaxy. 26kb.

This was my very first paid Flash assignment back in 1997, using Flash Version 1, and it was used as the splash screen for a gambling web site. There was also some Flash-based navigation used inside the site and, seeing as NO ONE had the Flash plug-in back then, I'm sure they had a lot of frustrated visitors.

My First Flash Web Site. 165kb.

Once Flash 3 was released I knew it was time to build a 100% Flash-based web site. This 1999 construct was a fun internet toy but completely useless as a tool to advertise the full spectrum of my talents. I present it to you strictly in the spirit of nostalgia.

Snugwear. 40kb.

The Macromedia company held a contest to see who could build the best commercial web site that used less than 45k for the opening segment. I didn't win the contest but I now have a great Flash demo to show off.
