-cards sind die
ideale Alternative zu traditionellen Glückwunsch- oder
Weihnachtskarten. E-Cards
("Electronic Cards") sind in Flash erstellte Animationen,
die per E-Mail an Ihre Kunden gemailt werden. Zum Beispiel als Weihnachts- oder Neujahrsgrüße.
Ob kurze Animationseffekte, bei denen z.B. Logo und Schriftzüge durchs Bild laufen, oder ob Sie mit einem einminütigen Trickfilm gleich eine kleine Geschichte erzählen wollen – Inhalten sind hier
kaum Grenzen gesetzt.
E-Cards können auch sprechen oder Musik abspielen: Ich erstelle Ihnen das komplette Sounddesign, von einfachen Soundeffekten bis hin zu aufwendigen Dialogen und einem eigens für Sie komponierten Soundtrack.
E-cards
("electronic cards" or "ecards") can feature anything from short animation gimmicks to animated
cartoons telling a little story.
What
is more, e-cards can talk and play music. I will be happy to develop
an appropriate sound design with your e-card, from simple sound
effects to complex dialogues and a
soundtrack tailored to your
specific requirements.

This Flash movie was mailed out as an e-card to Asset's clients.

Canadian investment company based in Toronto.
In two language versions, English and French, the movie
starts out with a brief walk through a snow-covered forest.
The camera then zoom up close on the descending snowflakes
and makes out a particular blue-colored snowflake which
looks unlike any other. As it turns out, this snowflake is
actually part of a corporate logo: Asset Engineering.
I have also written the score for the animation, a melodic piece for piano and
cello.
