Mitch McLachlan
We’re always looking for ways to improve our work and one of the areas we’ve been looking at most closely is workflow. It takes a great deal of creativity, planning, and production to successfully develop a new website. We are proud to announce that we are promoting Mitch from Associate Producer into a new role as Project Manager. Mitch will be helping to implement complex multimedia sites, including e-commerce, content management systems, and other large data-driven applications. Mitch has already been a versatile part of the Manning team involved in many of our recent large web projects.
We hope you’ll join us in congratulating Mitch in his new position.
If you’ve worked with us before hopefully you’ve had the pleasure of working with Kirk Berryman and Patrick Mouser. If not, here are just a few of the reasons why both were recently promoted and why we’re very excited about it.
Patrick Mouser
In his new role as Art Director, Patrick will extend his creative leadership beyond web design to include visual supervision of all Manning work including film and video. Many of our projects are multifaceted, so this will allow us to provide greater creative and visual continuity across media types and platforms.
This is a natural extension of the strategic design role Patrick has played on a numerous client projects including the American Bar Association, Stryker, First Student and others. This will also allow Patrick to use more of the branding, print and television design skills he developed as an award-winning ad agency designer before joining Manning.
Kirk Berryman
Kirk joined Manning more than two years ago and quickly proved himself invaluable. Kirk’s knowledge of web development, search engine marketing and video production combined with his own entrepreneurial background has made him a tremendous asset from both a creative and business perspective.
As Senior Producer, Kirk will continue to provide the strong leadership he has shown on projects for the American Bar Association, COUNTRY Financial, the Metavante Corporation, and others. In addition to taking on more web and video assignments, Kirk will also be putting his entrepreneurial skills to work helping coordinate Manning’s creative growth and business development.
We hope that you’ll join us in congratulating Patrick and Kirk on their promotions and wish them well in their new roles.
We are about to see touch-screen technology invade the desktop computer world. That’s the prediction of some of the biggest players in the industry, including one of our client’s Intel. While this technology has been used successfully in kiosk applications like the one the Chicago 2016 committee used to help sell the city as the site of the Summer Olympics, it now is being used as a viable interface for many other business applications according to a recent article in the New York Times. Apple can take a large measure of credit for advancing touch-screen navigation with its iPhone – the net result could be a change in the way people interact with websites – “let your fingers do the walking…”
For years I’ve been fascinated by how visual effects technology has advanced storytelling in motion pictures. As a kid, I was first introduced to this with Return of the Jedi. I’ve never been the biggest fan of the Star Wars films, but I watched them to see just how someone’s imagination was translated for everyone else to enjoy. The film that changed everything for me was E.T. I was 8 years old, and although I had no career ambitions, I knew I wanted to create things using my own imagination. Fast-forward 26 years, and my work as an editor has allowed me to do just that. Both in my personal and professional work, I’m allowed the freedom to create while earning a living. Not bad. When you have the time, take a look at the Michael Bay website and the “Reels” section of the Digital Domain website. One provides a unique look at one of the most successful Directors, while the other shows examples of how script and imagination are translated to the big screen.
