The Adventure Calendar of Mr Timothy Hope

The Adventure Calendar of Mr Timothy Hope
 
Timothy Hope, desperate to impress the beautiful but disdainful Lady Misericordia, stows away on Lord Daunt's expedition to the North Pole, and finds himself caught up in an adventure of high seas, deep crevasses, slavering wolves, reindeer sleigh rides and much, much more, with only his wits and inventiveness to keep him and his friends alive.

The Mazehouse

The Mazehouse
The Mazehouse project has its origins in an interactive TV show we made for the Sci-Fi channel in 2001. It was initially intended to be an interactive drama, but the Sci-Fi channel wanted it to be mounted as more of a hoax. Ever since I've wanted to go back and tell the story we originally intended to - the results can be seen at: mazehouse.ruritania.co.uk.

two-minutes.com

two-minutes.com was an interactive murder mystery we staged during the total eclipse of 1999. It was a live online event and, as such, disappeared soon after it had run its course.

Jack Stalwart

Jack Stalwart is the hero of a series of children's books written by Elizabeth Singer Hunt. Jack is a nine year old super spy who travels the world solving mysteries and thwarting criminals with an array of amazing gadgets.

The aim of the site was to allow the visitor into Jack's world, to become a spy and investigator for themselves. It was also key to include many of the informative and educational elements of the books, particularly features on world geography and culture.

Wannabes

This was a pilot for an interactive soap for the BBC. The audience would have a mocked up 'desktop' and would receive video messages from the characters, each containing a segment of an episode's plot. Occassional 'instant messages' would allow the audience to interact with the characters, altering plot outcomes by making decisions.

Planet Protectors

Planet Protectors are a new range of environmentally aware action figures from the Early Learning Centre.

I helped develop the site and and its content. I built it in Flash to Will Richards' colourful and dramatic designs.

The aim was to give the children an online destination that complemented and expanded on the world of the characters.

Ealing Studios

I helped develop, design and build the Ealing Studios website. The site had to work with third party back end editing tools, which I helped integrate into the build.

FightBox

Well, yes, FightBox.FightBox was an interactive TV show for the BBC. Players could download a PC game from the BBC website and use it to create and train their own FightBox warriors. The most successful players won a place in the televised competition.

Association of British Orchestras

A website for the Association with some basic editing tools that allow them to keep the site updated. I built the HTML for the site and integrated it with the editing tools.

TV Writers

A redesign for a TV writers' agent. The brief was to create something clean and easy to use but also to maintain an element of colour and visual interest.

It was also important to make sure that site visitors could find the writers' CVs easily and print them out in easy to read formats.
