A 'No Wimps' Toast
In prelude to the ARTEMIS ETERNAL redesign picking up speed, this is a brief shout out to our digital team: Greg Martin and Iain Edminster. We've a new collaborator, too, named Isaac, whose work will get a Wingman pumped!
Yeaaaah boy, this is what a first mockup of a website looks like. Impressed?
In many ways, re-launching our web experience, which has evolved into something rather deep, is more work than making the actual film. It involves storyboarding, wireframing, design, original asset creation... . I do plan to publish more about our approach to web production. Sometimes I overlook how much knowledge we have that we haven't yet shared.
As the digital team is the backbone of ARTEMIS ETERNAL, I wanted to take an entry-moment to recognize them, especially since we are currently spread out across the US and working remote. Production could not advance without them, and Greg has contributed significantly to the art department of the film as well, which you'll eventually see although you probably won't notice immediately as production design is seamless like that. Over the years he and I have become fantastic collaborators. I don't want to imagine my creative life without his involvement. Greg is a huge hero of this project.
In addition to his precision coding, Iain has won my deep affection for how patient he is in building publishing tools that suit my needs and always furthering my understanding of programming (i.e. addressing all my nitpicking concerns). We are so lucky to have these two. Our digital team is boss. They shoulder large creative parts of the project and execute their moves in ways that constantly surprise and impress me. On the web, together, we can make anything. And that is WOW.
Well, have a nap. THEN FIRE ZE MOCKUPS!
You, dear Wingman, have built this with us. But you and I would never have met without Greg and Iain (as well as previous JSDC Webmaster The Gunn) there to craft our connection.
Once, we simply had a project page. Now? We have a deep, multi-faceted, substantial, high-quality, increasingly successful production center and dream project that involves thousands of people!
If I had the Photoshop skill, I'd create an image of a tankard of ale that bears the Wingman symbol. See how much we need Greg? And I wouldn't be writing here without Iain. You'll just have to imagine the tankard in your mind--raise 'em up--
NO WIMPS!
