New Line New Media: Behind The Mask Behind The Mask was produced in cooperation with New Line New Media and Crossover Technologies. Behind The Mask represents a breakthrough in multimedia design employing techniques and concepts never before seen in commercial CD-ROMs. The Glyph Media Group Inc. assisted in the initial design of the program, consulted on technical issues, incorporated and combined all media elements, and programmed the software. The user's exploration of the CD-ROM has been enhanced through several dynamic and original techniques. Some of the technical achievements of this project include animated button icons, comparative digital video sequencing, single frame viewing of digital video, and user-specific sound effects synchronized with digital video. Production of Behind the Mask was carried out by the Glyph Media Group using Macromedia Director for both the Windows and Macintosh versions. Maintaining functional consistency between both versions, constant attention to detail, and many hours of cross-checking and debugging, have ensured a high level of technical quality. Behind The Mask was produced to provide avid film buffs with the means to greater understand what goes into the production of this highly technical film. The CD-ROM employs illustrated examples of the film's audio and video special effects; provides insight into the production techniques of both the film crew and the computer graphics animators at Industrial Light and Magic; and explores everything involved in the creation of the film, from the screen play to the audio and visual effects, from the actors and their histories to the inspiration and development of the concept. The function of supplementing The Mask's merchandising efforts is also served by the CD-ROM, which allows for home shopping, and provides the purchaser with a complimentary Mask screen saver (Windows platform). The Mask is a fun-filled exploration into the imaginative world of Stanley Ipkiss and his animated and crazy life as the hyperreal superhero The Mask. |

BLUE - Derek Jarman The Glyph Media Group and Basilisk Communications Ltd. present a multimedia project based on the Derek Jarman film BLUE. This CD-ROM is the latest addition to the BLUE repertoire which in the past has included live concerts in Europe and Asia, gallery exhibitions, and radio and television broadcasts in four languages. The BLUE CD-ROM will contain some of Jarman's previously unseen Super 8 films that can be viewed, "sampled" and edited. Sound mixes created in the "audio recording studio" can then be applied to these newly created films. Notes on the history and evolution of BLUE, previously unreleased material from the live concerts, and video interviews with principal participants, contextualize the complete annotated script. The program contains general information on AIDS and safer sex, and is concluded by "The Void" segment, inviting participants to further their own explorations in BLUE. The BLUE CD-ROM fuses BLUE's various incarnations (sounds, images, text) with the interactive possibilities of the medium, producing an entirely new and exciting BLUE experience. See what WIRED had to say about BLUE. Or download your own demo copy here. |

Hakuhodo Advertising America, Inc./NEC
Corporate presentations used to be all about blackboards and pie graphs. Not any more. Glyph specializes in exciting presentations that combine animation, sound, Digital Video (QuickTime TM) movies, and graphics, bringing an added dimension to your presentation. Our setups are powerful, yet portable. They'll hold an audience's attention and thus improve retention of information, and Glyph can customize materials easily to meet your needs. Hakuhodo Advertising America, Inc. asked us to design a presentation with only one criterion: "knock 'em dead". Glyph combined hip design with a state-of-the-art feel to get Hakuhodo's message across. We incorporated morphing logos - turning Hakuhodo into NEC, its client - to start the show off with a bang. The overall feel for the presentation was "interactive" and "Web-like" to show off NEC's media savvy. Animated graphics and sound effects emphasized specific points, and the show was capped by a search light panning across the NEC logo. |

Hoffmann-La Roche
Touchscreen kiosks are the latest in public installations. Their design makes information directly available to large numbers of people. They can showcase and distribute products, promote new business, and collect information for database usage. Hoffmann-La Roche asked us to create a computer-based kiosk offering education slide sets. The kiosk, used in their trade show booth, introduces doctors to Hoffmann-La Roche and the areas they service. The program allows doctors to place orders for free slides sets, which enables Hoffmann-La Roche to follow up with more product information and create good will within the community. |

Bankers Trust - Windows Based Electronic Brochure/Kiosk This floppy disk-based sales medium ensures that your messages stand out. Electronic brochures get the prospective client directly involved with your product. They command attention while demanding results, and reach a savvy, computer-literate clientele. Globe View 2.0 is a service and software program offered by Bankers Trust. BT wanted to promote this service on a single floppy disk which they could feature in kiosks at trade shows and conferences. We produced an interactive introduction to their program and its capabilities, which allowed BT to cost effectively promote its service with a dual-purpose program in the exciting medium of multimedia. |
