Website Redesign

Danny — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 13:37:55 +0000

After many months of design and redesign, my website (www.saintauguste.com) is finally complete. Trying to design a website for yourself is very hard. Not that the process itself is hard, it’s just that I never know when to say enough is enough and finalize the layout. For months, I kept changing the design. Ahhh! Such a pain. Good thing I like to design.

But anywho, this is a simple website, that showcases my work and capabilities as an interactive designer. Hopefully with this redesign, I can continue to expand my freelance clients and or find myself a full-time position. I’ll be good with either one.

Just in case you forget.

Fallon does social media aggregator apps?, originally uploaded by You + Me.

You may know Fallon from such films as “We’re an amazing agency” or “Annie get your campaign done” but now their offering up an aesthetically pleasing app that brings together your most popular social networking platforms. Perhaps they’ll repackage this up as an application they can graph onto an applicable brand. Either way, it’s peaked my curiousity.

Panoramic print of men standing on a ferry looking at the Brooklyn Bridge, [ca. 1890]

-- — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:53:58 +0000

The image below is a panoramic photograph of the Brooklyn Bridge taken from the deck of a Ferry crossing the East River in New York. At the time the photograph was taken the bridge would have been about seven years old. John R. Connon, a Canadian living in New York, took the photo using his best known invention, the cycloramic panoramic camera, which was patented in 1887.

The image below is a still captured from SA’s panoramic music video of Macy Gray performing at a party full of old cinema and new media types, captured in Hollywood with me directing for Social Animal. Like John Connon more than a century ago, I’m also an immigrant from Canada working on new panoramic format advances while living in the ‘States. Coincidental, eh?

Pixelated Lady

-- — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:56:27 +0000

I’m excited to be collaborating with Norwegian animator Tom Idland. It is a pleasure to be adding new media characters to the Old Hollywood themed party in the Macy Gray 360 degree interactive video. All along, I’ve wanted to feature the widest variety of party guests that themselves represent various eras in traditional media and new media and for me the guest list has always included a pixelated character. Now Lucy (see below) will be gracing our dance floor, bringing that vision to fruition, or at least virtually so. Multifaceted Lucy is fun to work with. As Tom says, “So few ‘details’ but still so alive!” Velkommen.

I AM big. It's the pictures that have gotten small.

On the set of Social Animal’s 360-degree interactive music video, my friend Giuliano Bekor had me evoke Sunset Blvd’s Max Von Mayerling in an editorial spread for BlackBook Magazine. The video, which I directed and which was produced with my colleagues Matthew Forrest and Guy Shiffer, is the first of its kind in a new interactive format that I designed. It is technically, at the size of six Imax screens, the biggest music video ever shot. Most people, however, will engage with it on a much smaller screen online or on a personal mobile device. A few hours after these photos were taken, I will be directing the fabulous Macy Gray, who sings the classic song “Whatever Lola Wants” with the Deron Johnson Ensemble in a party scene that represents New Media’s arrival on the Hollywood scene. By moving the cursor, audiences will have the unprecidented ability to look around the room as they choose, checking out the party scene, which is populated by a variety of characters from the earliest days of cinema to the latest 3d avatars. These photos, whatever one may think of my modeling ability, seem oddly appropriate since Sunset Blvd, a favorite movie, concerns characters from the silent era who find themselves thrust into the new media of their time, talkies. Lets see if the addition of interactivity on video has as powerful an impact as the addition of sound had on the movies.
