•Dave Chappelle “For What it’s Worth” Microsite — Design, Animation, Flash Development
On my first gig for Showtime, I realized the Creative Director’s vision of “Dave sitting by a mic telling jokes” by creating a “cut out” graphic style, jagged animation, and a photoshop-painted smoke effect to compliment the photo sequence animation i built of Dave doing his thing. I introduced Showtime to XML in Flash on this project with the dynamic video, photo gallery, and schedule pages, after which it became their standard.
