I was appoached by the owners of DNC Dance Club to create a new web page, showing the club's image change and redesign. The club had became more "fashionable" and they wanted to show that on a website
I designed the logos and all the graphics from scratch, made a Flash intro with music and made a draft of the main page
Unfortunately, the project was never finished because they wanted to use a government financial assistance and my company at the time couldn't apply for supplying such grants, so the whole project was handled to a different company.
I was contacted by Grupo Graphic, an advertisement agency, to redesign their entire webpage. The requirements were: it had to be visually appealing, needed to use the company colours, and they wanted flash movement.
Since I couldn't use server technologies, I decided to make content static, however, used a lot of Javascript to allow maintainability. I also used Flash 4 to make some animations, and made a twist on their company logo using 3dstudio Max
The project was never finished because the company lacked the funds at the time.
Motion Xtation was the succesor of our VJ Projector product at Virtual Media Systems during its final years. Check VJ Projector for more info on the product.
This version was much more professional and was a complete rewrite, although maintaining the ease of use (making it even easier) and much more powerful. It allowed realtime network controlling of up to 16 controlling equipments, allowing CAVE-like environments from even simple 2D videos, or more complicated 3D, capable of giving out full 1280x1024 resolution on each of the screens used.
It had a network live-video streamer near realtime (or it could be independently hardware captured on each controller for no-lag situations), with full 3D post-processing.
It had a much better text/labelling system which allowed plugins for displaying. The base edition inluded some plugins for scrolling text around the CAVE system, displaying text along different screens, etc.
The plugin system was completely revamped, allowing the use of parametric plugins (with automatic touch-enabled on-screen controllers generated for their parameters) linked in any way you chose by means of VJ "decks", which were a kind of layering system.
The product was succesfully used on many eventual gigs, and was installed for more over a year after the company was dissolved on some of the most notable Spanish clubs.
I was contacted by Revival club (at Alicante, Spain) to make a multimedia CD which they would give out for free along with the entrance free on the anniversary party. I was given only 3 days for it with no material at all. Everything had to be made from scratch.
I used several tools for this one, including Discreet 3dstudio Max, Photoshop, Flash MX2004, and Vegas.
I was approached by Revival club (at Alicante, Spain) to completely redesign their outdated website. I was given one month for it, with no server programming possible, so I implemented some XML files as a backend and a local client application to update them to make it possible for them to upload new photos, music, and "gadgets".
The whole design and system was made and programmed using Flash MX, and the design was made using Adobe Photoshop.
This design was replaced again in 2006 by myself.
I was contacted again by Revival club (at Alicante, Spain) to redesign from scratch their website (which I had redesigned already before, back in 2004), due to a change of look in the club itself, including corporate branding and colors.
This time I could use server programming since the host was new. I made a whole PHP/mySQL backend which allowed to completely change the site by the customers, including uploading and managing photos, music sessions, videos, etc., while the frontend used Flash (made in Macromedia Flash MX2004) accesed PHP scripts which returned XML data from database queries.
The whole rebranding and redesign, including graphic design, programming the custom backend from scratch and the whole new frontend, and setting up the services on the server (including a rebranded and custom-templated phpBB forum) took around two months.
I maintained the website up to 2007.
I was approached by Codec Multimedia to produce a divulgation DVD about scientific research at the university of Murcia. I was given the raw footage material (video and vocal) and a very simple script and had to make the whole cut, encoding, and DVD menus, along with the video effects, music synching and DVD covers, etc.
The whole project took about 2 weeks from start to finish (including shooting the footage and making the voice recordings).
I used Sony Vegas to put everything together, and Photoshop and 3dstudio Max to make the CGI.
Sellmaster Software approached me with a new kind of project. I needed to develop for a PocketPC (later Windows Mobile) PDA, a companion for their TeamAC product. To maintain compatiblity with the desktop, I used C# and .NET Compact Framework.
The .NET Compact Framework at the time was quite limited (still version 1), and I needed normal ADO database access (which it didn't provide) since the desktop version could work on Access databases for basic setups (no SQL Server CE could be used). It was quite a challenge to get everything synchronized and working the same on both desktop and PDA versions.
I also did the whole graphic and interface design. The product is still on sale today and looking good.
VJProjector was the flagship product of my company, Virtual Media Systems during its first years. It was an integrated Video Jockey tool, allowing for both manually controlled visuals and automatic controlled ones.
It included a full OpenGL accelerated GUI usable from a tactile screen, and had support for videos, live video feeds (up to 16 live cameras at the same time using very fast framegrabbers and some clever FIFO buffering not to overflow the PCI buffer while downloading the input to VRAM and then uploading to GPU RAM, as opposed to using direct video overlays, which would not allow for post-processing), and a propietary plugin format which allowed both 2D and 3D visuals, with full control over a live music stream recording. A very simple 3D text engine was included, along with an onscreen keyboard (for use with the tactile screen) and some labelling effects.
It was written in C++ and took around 6 months to complete for version 3 (the first widespread distributed version).
The product was available in a smaller and more limited format as "VJProjector Express Edition" by the time version 4 (renamed Motion Xtation, which was a complete rewrite) was released.
I personally retain the full source code and copyright for this application.
First attempt at making my own company's web site. It got eventually finished but a redesign, along with a brand and logo change made it never get into the front page.
It was a good experiment in flash, using completely dynamic site loading and some advanced database queries using proxy PHP scripts.
