I helped launch the official Febreze Home Collection’s Facebook page by developing a Facebook application that added a custom-built interactive Flash widget to a “Design Tips” tab.

It’s about time I add this one. I created Antiquiet in 2007 with Johnny Firecloud. I designed it (we’re on our fourth version), I built it, I write for it, I shoot video for it, I edit video for it, I record and edit live sound for it, I throw events, design flyers, design ads, sell ads, traffic ads, I manage our SEO- which is great- I do business development, I administer the server, the works. I don’t know why this wasn’t the first thing into my portfolio, but when I say I can do it all, Antiquiet backs it up.

I was a bit of a swiss army knife on this project. I built the initial HTML/CSS shell (please view my work here; the live version has been hacked apart a bit since, but I’m proud of the code I delivered). I also did some extensive AJAX work on the Drink Recipes page, and I built the hybrid HTML/video jQuery feature panel, which was a strangely complex custom order; The client wanted it to open with a Flash video, play through that video only once, and then seamlessly begin sliding through a series of panels assembled dynamically from the contents of flagged WordPress posts.

Antiquiet’s a passion project of mine, and there’s not much to these banners. But I’m proud of them, because they all feature classic quotes from one on one conversations we had with headlining artists. They really capture the rock n’ roll attitude and energy that I would like to consider my specialty.

(DOT) SQUIRRELS is my LLC. For the corporate image, I wanted somehow to play off the idea of industrious worker squirrels building stuff, without being too literal. In my head, I was picturing the old boxes of screws and nails in my Dad’s basement growing up.

Role: Video Editor, Interviewer
When: 2009
So who knew I could edit video? Or interview people? We threw a little video shoot together backstage at Antiquiet’s Valentine’s Day Party, and I did the edit in Final Cut Pro last night.
Hey there everyone. So at the beginning of 2008, I had about seven guitars and five bands. Now it’s 2009, and I’ve got zero bands and a kid on the way. So it’s time to sell a few of my toys to make room for diapers and playpens and various other things for her to drool & poop on. Just wanted to set up a single page with all the details.

I realize there are two ways to spell the word: flier, and flyer. Both apparently are valid. Since I’m a hockey fan from Philadelphia, I’m most comfortable with the latter.
I designed this flyer for a party Antiquiet threw at Enjoy Human downtown. I also hired the bands (8mm and Pop Levi), helped build the stage, and did live sound with Pro Tools multitrack recording with the help of Alex Schneiderman.
