Hello everyone,
I’m from Fort Worth, Texas and I have been doing web-design, art, music, and video for the last 4 years. Basically I’m new to the web-design business, previously I had mostly made things for fun, or for projects, and on a few occasions free work for people.
my website is http://www.arwestudios.com , Right now it is severly under construction, and I will be adding lots of stuff , probably forever.
Some things I have studied are
Coding
Actionscript: to tell you the truth, basically the copying and pasting of actionscript, with the ability to change certain things to taper to my design.
HTML: Dreamweaver: I dunno if I should consider dreamweaver a coding skill. heh.
XML: just the basics of how it works, and how to use it in flash
CSS: again basics.

this is an example of the coding I can do. (a tutorial site)
Design
2d
Photoshop: who hasn’t – but I try to be innovative and original with my experienced use of this sweet program.
Fireworks: I use it (skillfully ) when it comes to logo design/batching photos/exporting/animating of GIFs/ and… yes! Pixel Art!!
Flash: I have worked with flash for a long time- first mainly animating very MB heavy websites – then realizing the beauty of code.
Corel Painter: very nice program, I have made some amazing design/drawings/ ANything artisticly related.
3d
Maya: I have a very small understanding of the program, I can make 3d objects, and right now thats about it, but I’m learning
Poser: I have used this program for a couple years, I use it mainly for realistic figure modeling, or realistic figure animation that can transfer easily to flash.
Rhinocerous: not sure if i spelled it right, but I have basic understanding of model creation.
like 1 fourth of the art done should be up on my website next week
Video
Adobe Premier: I can not only cut and edit video to perfection, But I know the secrets of making home videos look like film. – can also apply dynamic effects
Adobe After Effects: Still kindof scared of the craziness of this program, but can pull off very nice animations/ cool effects to a regular film.
Adobe Encore: If Adobe can send me a copy that isn’t full of bugs then I can make interactive menu’s for DVD’s with video and buttons.
videos of note on my website would be the Titan Moon music video - and their menu animation for their DVD.
Music
aside from years of experience with the guitar, piano, and drums I have learned some amazing recording/music making programs.
Acid Music: I’ve had years of experience with this program for recording and song making
Fruity Loops: I’ve used this for making more techno/dance/electronica/hiphop style of music.
and finally, cakewalk’s SONAR 3.0: , this program is amazing for recording and making any music, and can produce proffesional sounding high quality music ready to go out to the masses.
I have yet to post music i’ve done on my website- but it’ll be there someday
I am still learning a lot with regards to actionscript and other complex, design-specific code. So, I am also looking for a team, or partner who is well versed in actionscript and other coding to help keep the websites MB size down. Also it would be nice to team with someone who has also had experience in working with web-design as to kind of show me how things are presented/sold to the client and such.
wow this post is extremely long. If you have any advice on how to go about looking for this type of work or team, - or just my post in general, please post it I love to hear from the Kirupa community
THANKS!!!
