Keith Beltramini :: RIT

Nearing an end with all this 3D work. Quite a lot of work went into this, unfortunately, I had many other classes that took time away from this project. But in the end… it’s not flash.

Project 02

I ended up bailing out over the weekend  making the ‘newer’ tattoo messenger after a few hours of messing with it. I ran into too many problems with too little time. And with my lack of Action Script knowledge, I decided to start from scratch and mess around with code a bit. I ran into a few snags here and there, but received help from Jeff.

This ended up turning out better than I thought, although it is not anything great by any means.

I am exhausted, this 20 credits ordeal is kicking my ass. Next project looks a bit more promising though, seeing as how we get to work in groups of two. And from what I can tell, I won’t have to do much programming, if at all. FINALLY

A bad Project 2 comp for Dynamic Persuasion. Made in after effects… ha?

There are different types of interactive marketing. The few that stick out are the websites that make you a part of the action. Pulling you in, making you interact to find facts or stumble across some information, meanwhile, having fun while doing so. For example, themancave.com is an Alltel phone company website. Although some of the movie clips can be ridiculous, it still pulls you in and makes you want to see more of the site for at least a few more moments. While you fiddle around with their site, they are leaving little pieces of information about their services and plans. Although they do not post everything about their company’s services, I believe that they hope they have held your attention long enough to make you check out what they have to offer.

Another type of interactive marketing is a lot simpler. It is just letting the user interact through all the company has to offer. It is not pulling you into a made up story, trying to lure you deeper into their site, instead just giving you what they have straight up, letting you control where you go and what you see. The negative thing about this style of interactive marketing is, although it may look good, it lacks the ability to keep your attention.

I see this being a strong marketing plan. I fore see many companies continuing to use this style of marketing, as well as newer companies doing he same. It is a very powerful way to reach out to the people and show them what you have/are capable of, without jamming facts and information down the users throats as soon as they enter a website.

The idea I have at the moment is still a rough idea. Using rastor images, I was thinking of the user typing in fight commands, ie “punch”, and the character punches. It records up to a certain amount of fight commands. And you can put up your recorded fighter against someone elses.
