Turner Construction story

Turner's story is a story of innovation, teamwork and success. They have built some of the tallest and most complex buildings in the world, and have done so while effectively reducing the surprises that mean schedule and cost delays.  Using Building Information Modelling (BIM) with SMART solutions, Turner collaboratively builds digitally first, thus anticipating any costly issues before they become problems. Jane and I worked closely with Dan and Brian from Turner to bring this story to life, and in exchange for our efforts, our team won a MarCom Gold award for this video in 2011.

SMART Board 800 videos

The SMART Board 800 series was the first multitouch interactive whiteboard from SMART. The launch video was shot while the product was still in development, so you could imagine their would be some issues while shooting. Despite these, we managed to capture the essence of it's newly found capabilities. We worked with a content developer that created lesson material for us that could exploit these capabilities, and this content eventually became available through SMART Exchange. The concept was that multitouch would make the new interactive whiteboard easy and intuitive to use, and this simplicity would allow children to make connections with things they already do naturally. Four other videos followed, utilizing 3rd party software to show that the capabilities were not limited to proprietary technology. Touch Gestures featured Algodoo a physics simulation software, while Multitouch featured Starry Night astronomy software. The new boards led the market with true multitouch capabilities, and have become widely adopted as the new standard.

SMART Ease of Use video

The first and arguably most successful video I worked on for SMART. The team was small and nimble, and this video would set the bar for things to come. Writing: Dean Hetherington Creative Direction: Jon Pernul Project Management: Jennifer Leusink Produced by The Edge
