I started a complete overhaul of the portfolio section of this site on the evening of Friday, July 25th. Because of the new pull down/drop down menus and all of the graphics, this portion of our site is best viewed when using Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, with Windows Media Player 9, and in a screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher.

The "2D/3D Graphics" and "Web Design" portions in the pulldown menu are complete. The "Animation/Video" section is up as well, but not complete. There are still more video clips in the process of being edited that will be added to the 23 clips that already make up this portion of the site. The "Still Photography" portion contains the most work still to be done. Stills for the Huntsville Airshow that are up are as follows: Blue Angels - Takeoff, Delta Formation, Diamond Formation, Echelon Formation, and Soloists Group 1. All Other Aircraft - A10 Thunderbolt. The rest are still being worked on. Stills for the Coca Cola 600 are not ready to go up on the server yet. 2/3rds of the Stills from Kiev, Ukraine are up, the rest are in the processing of being scanned to get ready to go up on the server. The stills and video for the Airshow were taken in March, the Coca Cola 600 in May, and Kiev, Ukriane the last 2 weeks of June. It has been real busy these past few months.

All of the video has been encoded into the new Windows Media 9 .wmv format. If you are using an older version of Windows Media Player your player will automically download, and install the proper codec needed from Microsoft's web site before playing.

Sincerely,
Clark Word
