Advanced Theory Inc. Creative Director § Directed the animation
portion of company to produce interstitial movies that advertised the
streaming TV online network available for PSPs. § Directed and produced a TV
show/Concert resembling MTV’s TRL but indie style
that involved four well know Philly bands, an art instillation show, hired a
local artist to create a colorful instillation set for stage, a professional
video team, sound guys, script, hosts, including a puppet host, a second
floor with a sound and video instillation. § Contacted well-known hubs
in Philly like R5 productions to put on events at the refurnished Fish town,
artist loft space called Interactive Playground. § The goal was to have events
there that would include technology like projections, and have live video
feeds streaming online of the event so people could see what was going on at
the event while at home or somewhere else.
This would bring the world together. Spiral
