The time has come for us to expand! We have had a fantastically busy time of it and now we require to add to our existing 3 man team. Web/Multimedia Developer
We have a position for an exceptional developer to join our small but expert team. Industry experience of Flash, video and web development combined with fluency in a range of programming languages on both server and the client side e.g Actionscript, javascript, PHP, .Net, Coldfusion, Ruby or python (you get the general idea). Must be able to understand and integrate multiple technologies into state of the art web applications. An unhealthy interest in the future of the web and cutting edge technologies is encouraged. The ability to have a boring technical conversation about Rich Internet Applications will also excite us. Designer/Account Holder
We also require a designer with the ability to multitask to work alongside our design team. We are looking for someone who lives and breathes web design and knows what they’re doing with valid XHTML/CSS, plus has an eye for contemporary graphic design for the web. Any experience with flash or with web development is most definitely a bonus. We expect this candidate to also have experience of communicating directly with clients and becoming a first point of contact, so confidence, persona and technical ability are all equally important here.
Both roles
It is important that any candidates are sociable and friendly, driven, fit in with the team and are absolutely passionate about what they do. We expect enthusiasm, creativity, ideas and a laugh. In return we offer a highly creative working environment and all the kit you need to get the job done. We are an open environment, we trust our team implicitly and we love to exceed client expectations. We also enjoy going for a drink/food/game of pool from time to time. Sound like fun? Send us examples of your work, a covering letter and a c.v…Remembering that we are seeking inventive, creative and nice people…surprise us!

I was pratting about with textorizer and thought It’d be nice if you didn’t have to mess about with a command line purely to textify your image. So here we have ‘wordizzlifier’ a combination of textorizer and imagemagick with ghostscript and some php, slapped behind a flash front end.
Type in a list of words, click ‘up’ to select a jpg image (lees than 200k / 1000px x1000 px), and about 20 secs later it should load the image back in. Once it’s loaded, you can click ‘down’ to get at the jpg.
Here’s an example pic of me and stu in Snafu on the lash, and its wordizzlified output.
A couple of business awards ceremonies I attended last year, presented in a custom built flash panoramic viewer. The viewer has two modes (accessed via right clicking), one for slow pc’s (default) and one for faster pc’s using flash8+’s displacementMap effect to emulate perspective distortion a la quicktime VR. There’s a nice ‘lens flare’ type thing added to some lights too.

Northern Star Business Awards – September 2006 – Aberdeen Exhibition Centre
Camera note: At these kind of events you don’t really want a) to be carting around a big camera b) annoying people with flash photography, these pics couldn’t have been done as easily without one of the best compact digicams around – the fuji finepix f11 (now superseded by f30/40) . Full manual control and exceptional low light performance with high ISO in a small package.
