31 - Wilson Fletcher - Alesia

I worked on what was a top-secret project for Wilson Fletcher, and to be honest it probably still is top secret so I'm not going to mention anything too specific that could get me into trouble!

I was tasked with creating a variety of animated user journeys. These were huge, huge demos that covered most everything you could do with the services involved - and across a variety of platforms from iPad, iPhone to a number of desktop versions. The demos were created to accurately represent the designs (which were always, always changing!) at a UI level, but to also present this in context. I built 3D versions of the scenarios they were to be used in and composited the user interface animations within it - including hand gestures, rotating iPads between horizontal and vertical views, and a whole bunch of other less than exciting stuff!

The undeniable highlight of this project (other than meeting every single crazy deadline) was when the work I had produced was presented to Steve Jobs. I wasn't there or anything, but still; AWESOME. Apparently he really liked it too, which is even better :)
