Finding Portland
25 Apr 2012
“Finding Portland was produced, shot, and edited in 51 days during March and April at the invitation of TEDx Portland, where the video was unveiled to a sell out crowd of 650 and met with a standing ovation. Filmed in Portland and the Columbia Gorge, this time-lapse piece offers a new perspective to the City of Roses. From a Portland Timbers season opening soccer game, to the top of the Fremont Bridge, to an aerial shot of Oneonta Gorge, Finding Portland tells the story of a city and its many faces.”
“Comprised of 308, 829 photographs taken from over 50 unique locations, it took an average of 3.8 hours to make each second of this film. The intent of the project was to place our cameras in unique locations across the city, achieve significant ranges of dynamic camera motion, and pursue cutting edge time-lapse techniques.”
Fascinating perspective of our little city.

The Mobile Viewport, Short and Sweet
17 Apr 2012
Peter-Paul Koch, of quirksmode fame, recently gave an enlightening presentation about the mobile viewport which, quite fortunately for all of us, is available in video and slide form. “A pixel is not a pixel”, clocking in at just over an hour, is quite thorough and enjoyably dense, so watch it. But, if you don’t have an hour to spare, this is the gist of it:

When approached by one of Northwest’s icon, McMenamins, to help with their user experience, we knew we were in for something big. Something challenging, but rewarding. Learn how we took the first step towards better UXD by redesigning their navigation.
Creating and Implementing D^5: Dialogue
13 Apr 2012
D^5 was built on Agile concepts. It’s centered around individuals and interactions: It’s centered around working software: It’s centered around customer collaboration: And it’s centered around responding (not reacting) to change.
