Gearing Up
By Nathan Williams

Things are definitely starting to gain some momentum for
spring--namely, video projects.
We're gearing up and pulling out the big guns for some serious TV
shoots in the upcoming weeks. Thankfully, we're prepared well enough
ahead of things to get our award-winning* video production team ready
to crank out the magic. It's always a pleasant experience working
with capable, super-par pros who can be trusted to get the light just
right, the perfect angle on a shot, the animation timed precisely, and
the coffee at the right strength: insanely black.
Identity seems to be the name of the current game, too. We're in the
process of working from the ground up with several clients, refreshing
elements and creating entirely new ones, like, say...THIS, for
example:
(coming soon)
This is just really fun!
Back to work!
*seriously...six of our seven recent Addy wins were for video projects

Webmersion

Our Web design projects here in Suite 801 are starting to gain some momentum. We're starting work on several at this very moment; some in the design phase, some in the programming phase, some in the bidding phase. Here's one such project into which our design team has been, er... 'webmersed.' Just a little teaser screen shot of the new Country Road Collection online presence.
Yeah, yeah, we know...even LOST never had such a nail-biting teaser!
This one will use a lot of stuff--multiple images, blog, multiple Flash elements, and lots of other pretties. It's definitely got the international vibe we're wanting. I can't be quite sure, but we MAY be listening to entirely too much baroque music and drinking entirely too much English Breakfast Tea while Photoshopping our way through the design.
If that's the case, then so be it, I say...SO BE IT!

Thanks to our clients, ADsmith has steadily grown. Our new website reflects who we are at the beginning of 2008.
