Reality Check nominated for multiple 2011 Sports Emmies

March 24th, 2011

The 2011 Sports Emmy nominations are out and a bunch of Reality Check Systems projects are in the mix. I am proud to be involved with a few of these to varying degrees, especially the Superbowl on CBS which has many graphics that I designed and animated. The Combine touchscreen application for the NFL Network is also featured in the NFL.com 2010 Scouting Combine.

NFL Network Brackets touchscreen application now live

January 4th, 2011

Our second major touchscreen application for NFL Network went live yesterday on the show where they explore scenarios for teams advancing from the wild card stage. The touchscreen app allows the talent to drag and drop teams from a list of team pellets on the sides, or to re-arrange the color team logos anywhere within the graphic. Swiping forward or backward takes the graphic to the next or previous stage.

This installment builds upon the previous “Pieces of the Puzzle” application which presents all of the teams on the field with player bio information and headshots which can be touched to trigger video clips and a custom telestration app. More info on this can be found at the Reality Check website.

New Website

December 29th, 2010

After years of making do with my previous site and an out-of-date demo reel, I’ve decided to make a go at updating my site with more of a blog format that will exist more or less as a professional journal. Much of what I post will be related to the fields of animation, visual effects and realtime graphics, with updates on my work as projects are completed.
