Slogger A.I
Having been on the lookout for a new job for a while, one of the most repetitive tasks is writing cover letters that match up with the job posting's list of requirements and my experience and skillset, replicating the tone of the listing (quite important!) whilst...
Cureative Platform
Once bitten, twice shy they say? Pah! Here's Cureative, the third iteration of an automated video versioning platform. Whilst the previous two versions relied on the Dataclay AE Templater plugin, the costs are simply too high for using this going forward, so this was...
Holly AI Voiceover Helper
A great project to experiment amidst the surge of interest in AI. Named after Holly, the AI from Red Dwarf, using AWS Polly, this is a text-to-speech generator with added bells and whistles - timeline sequencing, video syncing, script generation. AWS Polly isn't the...
Mood Tracker
A proof-of-concept mobile app, built with React Native and Expo. This was made to log day-to-day moods and medication effectiveness with the ability to view stats in a time graph for easy comparison.
Inti
So, we had 3,000 master images that need to be cropped for various media. For some, there were 30 different sizes to prepare for. 90,000 images in total. Imagine the time and pain involved trying to accomplish that in Photoshop. You’d need a document with 30...
Trinity
Where to start with this one?..
Expedia on Vulcan V1
A port of the Vulcan platform specifically for Expedia
Visa on Vulcan v1
Yup - we even do display banner sets too! The following example shows creating a new master MPU banner, and a subsequent DMPU that copies all the previous selections over. Once approved and submitted, the banners are packaged-up and the backup.jpg images are created...
Marriott Bonvoy on Vulcan v1
Another demo of the first iteration of the Trinity platform, previously called Vulcan. Here's a short walkthrough of producing a 9x16 static image ready for publishing on social media. [video width="1920" height="1080"...
EE on Vulcan v1
A demo of the first iteration of the Trinity platform, previously called Vulcan. Here's a short walkthrough of producing a broadcast-ready 16x9 video for an EE campaign. Some steps have been shortened and there's a glaring typo in there! [video width="1920"...
Filter Explorer
One challenge of working with Marriott was that each media asset has to have "The Treatment" on it. A combination of a Photo Filter, Colour Overlay and Levels. Rather than having to bake them in, we thought we'd emulate it with CSS filters. Here's a playground I built...
Bananatime
Probably the most irritating part of being a banner animator are those last minute changes that end-up in having to re-do the backup image. Tedious! Why not automate it? Here's an app I built that seeks to the banner endframe, screenshots it, compresses it to under...
FIFA Ethics App
An App for FIFA educating students about 'Ethics in Football'? Yeah... I thought that was a bit ironic too! This was an iPad app containing 4 mini quiz games related to various aspects of ethics. All results are logged into an internal database with a feature to...

Source Slalom Game
Here's a challenge! The brief here was to produce a 3d style ski game that will work on mobile - IN THE BROWSER! So - where to start? Pure javascript? Some form of game framework? Create JS? Euuurghhhh. After a lot of mucking around I simply went back to good ol'...
Floppy Harold
I don't know if anyone heard about 'Flappy Bird', there wasn't a whole massive media hype about this very crappy indie game at all... Anyway, on the back of all that, I managed to make a version of it for the lovely Cabana restaurant people to include in the App I...
Boogie
A few months ago I got a call from 'serial entrepreneur' Jamie Barber who had been bored on a plane, listening to music on his phone and thought that he'd like to have a small version of himself dancing to the music as entertainment and is that something I could...
Client Music Admin
One of 8track Music Solutions clients recently asked if it was possible for a way of being able to see what music has been played in their venues over the last few hours, so they could keep an eye on their music policy, make sure it was all on-brand. Some form of...
