PlayStation’s E3 Production House On Wheels

Client: Rey Interactive / SCEA
Role: Systems Administrator
When: 2010

For their big E3 2010 PlayStation press conference, SCEA wanted to send live video feeds to a production house to not only get the press conference quickly edited and sent to G4 TV for broadcasting and online viewing, but to also produce “highlight” PR clips to be sent out to media.

The only problem was they didn’t have a production house close enough.

Svedka’s “RU Bot Or Not?” Dance-Off

Client: Conspiracy / Svedka Vodka
Role: Creative & Technical Lead
When: 2010

For Svedka Vodka, I led the design and development of a Facebook application (which I installed to their fan page) promoting a dance competition in LA hosted by Kim and Kourtney (yes, spell checker, you’re right, that is spelled wrong) Kardashian.

The ability to handle significant amounts of burst traffic generated by the “celebrity” endorsements was a key concern of everyone involved, but the VPS I provisioned and configured held strong.

The app featured a custom-built AJAX voting system, Flash video, and the ability for users to share through their news feed.

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.
