I like being a freelance designer and developer as I get to work with lots of nice people, once again with the smart people at Tangent90 I built a local installation that played out over a few plasma screens in the entrance of Selfridges London. The installation took pictures of everyone coming through the door, which then where cropped to a head and shoulders image, which then found themselves 'dropping' into my mosaic of other customer's faces. The mosaic tiles are then colour tinted and make up a larger image of Mr I.am.

Depending which version is running at the time, we either play a promo video every few minutes or (my personal favourite) explode the mosaic's tiles and spin them around in 3D before putting them back in their correct places. For no reason beyond eye candy but, for once, that is what you need to attract the passers-by attention.

Two facets to the same project here. First is a set of banners for Fujitsu's 'cloud' computing solution. The second I had to dust off the old Photoshop skills and produce a mock up of a live projection animation.

I coded 2 in banner games for the launch of GI Joe the movie. In HALO dropzone you take control of our hero as he jumps high altitude and avoids the sky mines and flak on the way down. In Tank Commander you get a tank to fight your way through the village and out to safety.

A few cool extra touches on these games are the smoke fumes that change colour and opacity based on the revs of the diesel engine and the real physics of the drive tracks. No one asked for them, and it's a bit geeky, but I like it.
