Every year I have the great pleasure of directing a swathe of bands at RMIT. The production assesss Live and Sound Production students. The teachers are great and include dear friends, and the students are so talented and hard working. It really is a joy.
Created with Simon and Gordon greenscreened and a lot of AI. I learnt a lotabout AI making this. It could be tedious at times but I think the results show it was all worth it.
Recorded here at Tantamount's Princess Studio this clip was created from footage Olivia had. It was so good all I had to do was edit it.
A clip created from the great Georges Perec's 'Un Homme Qui Dort' ('The Man Who Sleeps' )
Recorded here at Tantamount's Princess Studio this clip was created from the film 'Rapture' (out of copyright) for my band Winter Sun.
A clip created from footage by Roger Lowe who joined us on our second tour of Japan. The original track also recorded here at the Princess Studio.
Music production content coming soon...
The Yarnin' site exploits the incredible multimedia capabilities of HTML5. Yarnin' is a 'one-page' site that distributes interviews with Aboriginal elders across Victoria. It uses CSS3, jQuery and a few other tricks to animate images, video and information over an interactive map of Victoria. We're hoping we can expand Yarnin' across Australia and the Torres Strait.
I am very lucky to be working with Trevor Graham again. The wonderful, unapologetically personal film Make Hummus Not War was a smash at festivals all around the world and aired on SBS in Australia. I did a lot of research on the humble chickpea and it now takes a dominant role in my kitchen - so cheap and so good for you! It's a tasty film and a tasty site with a how-to by my local Lebanese legend.
Mabo is an encyclopedic exploration of the Native Title story from a small island in the Torres Strait to the High Court of Australia. Eddie Koiki Mabo succumbs to cancer 6 months before his victory, a victory short-lived as we see our indigenous people cheated yet again. It features hundreds of presentations and a thousand resources from love letters to recordings of Eddie Mabo's lectures at James Cook University.
The Mabo site won the 2008 United Nations Association of Australia Media Peace Award: 'Best Online'
I have always been a fan of comics and graphic novels. Simply animated illustrations are a very effective way to tell a story and deliver interactivity. I came up with the idea of an interactive graphic novel for this biography of William Bligh for the ABC. Bligh is one of the most misrepresented historical figures. This site brings the facts to light with art, action and music. Daryl Dellora wrote the story, John Phillips produced the music, Keira Poelsma created the gorgeous illustrations and my sister Jo co-produced.
Edna Walling was a brilliant and influential Australian landscape designer who became an ardent conservationist and evangelised Australian natives in home gardens. A photographer and popular gardening writer, Walling's gardens attract international tourism.
I produced the site in partnership with the State Library of Victoria for the ABC's Gardening Australia. The site attracted roughly a million visitors a year who averaged 20 minutes on the site - a phenomenal achievement
totally GORGEOUS was Tantamount's first CD-ROM. We produced it with Kaz Cooke for Film Australia. My first multimedia title, a fantastic message, an amazingly brilliant collaborator, we went all out and it won a couple of international awards.
Now we've put it online as completely GORGEOUS!
Homeless examines 24 hours in the life of homeless people in Sydney, Jakarta, Tokyo, New Delhi, New York and London. Surprising, sad, mad and beautiful, the site's 6 stories expose our societies' real attitude to the marginalised.
My second project with Trevor Graham. The site was nominated for a Webby.
Unfortunately QuickTime's support for Flash has stopped and the site no longer works. I still support the site so if you're computer has an ancient OS it might still work for you here!
Rob has been working with Adobe's Director since it was Macromind's VideoWorks II. Director can produce interactive multimedia above and beyond Flash or HTML5 and is perfect for CD/DVD-ROMs, and kiosks.
HTML5 means modern browsers support plug-in-free interactive multimedia. Not only is HTML5 the new and final standard in HTML but it is a great way to make apps too. New multimedia tags, CSS3 and extensive JavaScript support means you can make sites that do almost anything and apps
Most people access the Internet from a mobile device. If your site isn't responsive to the variety of small screens not only will you be annoying your public but Google will place it low in it's search results.
