Every song was illustrated with a different visual, some audio reactive, some rendered. I also shot a bespoke time lapse of clouds for the song 'Leaving'.&lt;/p&gt;
        
        &lt;p&gt;The whole concert was broadcast live and is available to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4R4Wa3XPF0&quot;&gt;watch on YouTube&lt;/a&gt; courtesy of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.electronicbeats.net&quot;&gt;Electronic Beats&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

The three huge risers, designed to allow the set to be wheeled on and off the stage quickly for festival appearances, had 5 high resolution wrap around LED screens. A mix of inspirations including early digital art and '30s avant garde film techniques brought up to date.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;Working with the very talented infographic designer &lt;a href=&quot;http://ripetungi.com&quot;&gt;Robin at Ripetungi&lt;/a&gt; we created this interactive map to help tell the story of how GE products have been used to create the infrastructure of the London 2012 Olympic Games and then where these products will be distributed across the globe.&lt;/p&gt;
        
        &lt;p&gt;Originally built in SVG and Javascript to work with the latest tablets and browsers I then ported it back to flash to allow it to run in almost all devices.&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;section class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul class=&quot;skills&quot;&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;openFrameworks&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Final Cut Pro&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Invited to be part of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.robsinclair.com/&quot;&gt;Rob Sinclair&lt;/a&gt; 'Content Stable' we headed to the LH2 to prepare visuals for the Queen tour with Adam Lambert. As Archie and Alex prepared video material I started work on audio reactive visuals for Dragon Attack and I Want To Break Free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;Dragon Attack&quot; was based on an earlier non-realtime Processing sketch (&lt;a href=&quot;https://vimeo.com/44811394&quot;&gt;Fun With Sun&lt;/a&gt;) which was ported to openFrameworks to work in realtime, formatted for the superwide LED screen then plumbed into multitrack audio inputs to make it respond to the band.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;I Want To Break Free&quot; was also based on an earlier sketch, this time an online interactive I'd made in SVG and Javascript called Mesh which you can find &lt;a href=&quot;http://triplegeek.com/lab/mesh&quot;&gt;in the lab&lt;/a&gt;. Moved to a dark background to work well with the LED screens, given &quot;life&quot; and again made audio reactive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The Queen 2012 Content Stable&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;A real time online tutoring website aimed at GCSE age children.&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul class=&quot;skills&quot;&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Product management&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Visual design&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Front end development&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Tutorhub is a real time online tutoring website aimed at GCSE age children. I was responsible for Product Management, UX, visual design, UI and front end development. I prototyped using paper, wireframes and custom interactive prototypes of new features and UI designs using Sinatra and jQuery which enabled me to quickly pull them together. I then tested with end users to get real feedback on the interaction before committing valuable development time to implement. I also developed digital prototypes to define the markup and design the stylesheets that can be dropped into the Tutorhub application. The developers then used my mockups as guides for the markup and then drop in the stylesheets (written in SASS) directly into the Rails app.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jiva Technology is a Ruby on Rails shop and they develop using the Agile methodology so I have skills in iterative development and design processes. I was also responsible for creating and managing the priority of the Pivotal Tracker job cards which the developers use to manage their iteration and represented the end user during the iteration planning meetings when arguing for feature priority. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Elsewhere&lt;/h3&gt;
