WST06: World Surf Tour 2006
May 4th, 2007Following my 4 month, around-the-world surfing trip, I returned to the studio to set to work on WST06: World Surf Tour DVD.
The DVD gives an inside look into what it is like to travel the globe in search of waves and new experiences. 8 hours of footage were edited and condensed down into 50 minutes of DVD viewing. It is estimated that the footage took approximately 2 months to edit from the point it left the camera to the time it hit the DVD.
The DVD was sent out around the world to a select group of people who I met whilst travelling, I’ve have been hearing good reports so far, lets hope that continues.
To follow up the production of the DVD I built an accompanying website to showcase the DVD in a geographical context using a customised version of the Google Maps API. Visitors can select a point on the map and then view a brief explanation of the location and then watch the accompanying video clip.

Schoogel
May 4th, 2007Schoogel is a comprehensive search engine for finding schools and universities in specific geographical areas. The purpose of the site is to provide students with a centralised, research resource, for finding the location of their next step in their education.
I developed a custom-built web application that allows visitors to search for schools by discipline and/or country. Search results can be browsed and then schools can be contacted directly. There is also a facility for schools/universities to upload a profile of themselves. Once a profile is created a school can upload a picture, edit the text and set up an email address to receive comments from students.
