We are in the business of building visually and technically professional web sites, from the ground up, that have a high degree of search acquisition. Our primary mission is to deliver excellent designs that clearly represent your business and effectively communicate your message, while at the same time enabling your target audience to find you via search engines. If you do not have a clear and concise organic search strategy currently in place, then a critical portion of your target audience is likely being funneled to your competition instead. We can level the playing field.

Web Design involves clear thinking and broad assessment. Developing a substantial web presence takes a considerable amount of research as well. Brand development, organic search strategy, content optimization, technical writing, information integrity, SEO implementation, graphic design, media design, and online marketing are all elements of our process. Each area is met head-on to ensure that your project progresses in a professional and timely manner.
We highly recommend first taking the time to draft an outline of the primary goals you have in mind for your website. This will serve as the foundation for future development, and will help those involved with your project to remain focused on your priorities.
You should know who your target audience will be, and plan to organize the web site to meet their needs. The experience of your users will vary from beginners who will need a well prepared introduction, to expert users who may simply want quick access to information. A good design should accommodate both.

Motion Graphics - Visual Effects |

Motion graphics & visual effects are in great demand these days. In an effort to meet this demand we are expanding our vision to include this powerful, evolving art form. Leading the industry, as you might imagine, is Adobe with After Effects & Premiere Pro CS5. It has always been my approach when learning a new set of skills, to study the works of those who are among the best in their field, and who better to learn After Effects from than the world renowned Andrew Kramer of Video Copilot? Other than John Dickinson, Aharon Rabinowitz, Eran Stern, Maltaannon, and Chad Perkins, I really can't think of anyone.
Over the next few weeks I will be posting the results of several of the tutorials given by Mr. Kramer up on our website. Rather than taking credit for these works myself, I feel it is important that any prospective clients know up front that we here at Web Magi in Flagstaff are honest, fun loving, and considerate folk, and would never dream of claiming the genius of others as our own. OK, maybe we dream of it, but we also realize we could never live up to the dream if we were to take on a project that we were ill-equipped to see through to completion. We also realize that most people (JJ Abrams excluded) probably can't afford to hire Andrew anyway, so we feel relatively safe in promoting his website. (Findings to the contrary will necessarily void this approach, but for now, Andrew's the man!) |

Animation has been an integral part of our workflow going on 8 years now. While our focus has traditionally revolved around mostly simple Flash transitions, slide shows, and interactive applications for Flagstaff client websites, we began to take a look at character animation and cartooning in mid 2009. As we considered which product would afford us the widest range of capabilities moving forward, we tested several solutions - Anime Studio, Animation:Master, Blender, Toon Boom - Adobe was our ultimate choice. Adobe's Master Collection CS4 (Now CS5) is a suite of applications for design, production, animation, motion graphics, video, and sound editing that is literally unrivaled in the industry. Just ask John Landau, Producer of the phenomenally successful Avatar movie: Adobe TV (CS4 Production Premium)
About 5 months into my training on the new Inverse Kinematics bones system in Flash Pro CS4 (now CS5), I ran across a contest for Toon Boon Animate Pro. I decided to give it a go. Toon Boon Animate Pro is great software, I learned a lot in a very short period of time. Although my animation was not the winning entry, it did allow me the opportunity to to test drive Animate Pro for free. I spent about a month (in my spare time after work) creating the animation; learning the software as I went. To see our entry click here.
Even with all of Animate Pro's features, one would still need to export individual shots into a video compositing/editing application like After Effects or Premiere Pro. In fact, with Adobe Master Collection CS5, we can do so much more than could ever be accomplished with just Animate Pro alone, so our animation pipeline is rock solid. We will however keep our eye on Toon Boom for possible future projects. |
