Marquez Bond & Meisel Legal Website

Flash website for a California law firm, created using a customized template. The site features sound effects and a number of animated elements and transitions. The client was particularly pleased with the splash image, which emphasized their bicoastal sphere of operations.

Logo Video, Oracle OAUG Convention

Full-screen animation for worldwide Oracle Applications User Group convention in Hawaii.

Logo Video, Austin Under 40 Event

We created this popular logo video to brand a live awards event at the Austin Hilton. It was used as a centerpiece of the event, setting mood and introducing the viewers to the charitable work being done by the Young Women's Alliance and Young Men's Business League. We paired it with video footage of the YWA and YMBL chairpersons, which we shot at Zilker Park.

San Jose Mercury News Feature

An example of our content development skills. This web spoof appeared in an April Fool's feature on the front page of the Soapbox (Business Opinion) section of the San Jose Mercury News. And yes, some people were fooled. At least up until the bloody part.
