After Prophet Communications merged with frogdesign at the end of 1997, it was necessary for the different offices to familiarize each other's unique talents. I produced this presentation of music projects created by members of the San Francisco office.

The goal was to showcase our musical abilities in order to take advantage of this asset in future client work. The piece was created using Macromedia's Director allowing for the playback of audio files and Quicktime movies.

The opening sequence has a film noir feel and a scratchy soundtrack. I wanted to relate the emergence of sound in New Media to the history of film. At first, sound in motion pictures seemed awkward and forced, but in time, it became a necessity.
