Hey Everyone!

A month ago Adam Howell asked me to do an article for Vitamin on my project Firerift (previously Firebolt). It is now live on the Vitamin site, check it out!

Adam is a great guy and I really appreciate him inviting me to write about my project. My article will be his last at Vitamin, as he is stepping down from his position there as Editor. He has done an awesome job, and I suggest you guys check out his future projects at his website.

The article I wrote covers some very basic ideas I think needed to be incorporated into a CMS. It also offers some tips and my "journey" through developing my own software. Hopefully you will all enjoy that part :)

Along with the release of the article I have finally finished the Firerift Commercial!! It was super fun to make, and involved very long hours of keyframing and editing :) The commercial was coincidentally shot exactly 1 year (almost to the day) after the previous Desert Shoot I did, except this time it was with video gear and not photo :)
This commercial is 1 of 2 commercials I filmed out in the Anza Borrego desert a few months ago.

Why make commercials like this for web software? Mainly just because I love making movies :)

A lot of good stuff going on! Stay tuned.

Peace,
Drew
