Mars Incorportated has been making candy, food, and drink brands since 1911, and while at Total Spectrum Advertising I did a number of animated corporate videos for them. Many were of the internal safety variety.
I was approached with a script and the task to create a quick and humorous animated intro (with an existing character I'd created) for a crowd sourcing web site. This was the result.
This was a very quick animation that was embedded into an email blast for Adams Rite - The global leader in door opening solutions.
WhatsWhat.me (Beta), is a unique, “kids-only,” “no bullying allowed” social network for kids aged seven to thirteen. The program was built on the Drupal platform.
As mainstream social networks are targeted at adults, What’sWhat.me (Beta) was created to be safe, secure, and age-appropriate with highly sophisticated privacy and security measures in place, and in strict adherence to COPPA regulations. The site’s mission is to “teach and protect” children as they learn and practice positive online behavior.
PRICE Systems is a business within the RCA Corporation. It is generally acknowledged as the earliest developer of parametric cost estimation software.
