Lehrer’s Rules


I’m a little sad that Jim Lehrer retired  from the News Hour earlier this month. Dry, but fair and balanced. If there was a news story I wanted to be actually informed about, his was the show I’d watch.

About 3:45 in the clip, he introduces his guidelines to journalism. Like a lot of guidelines, these can be transferred to other aspects of life, which is why I included the clip here. Be fair, be decent, assume the best, know the difference between opinion and fact then promote them accurately.

Redshift Media had designed this game that taught spelling to children with dyslexia. They had the art and the code, but needed to bring life to the parrot host. Using assets provided by the client, I animated the bird’s flight, reaction, and speech cycles. Example does not use final audio.

Genentech Your Way at the VA

Thinking that it was a tangle of bureaucracy, sales reps were avoiding the VA & D.O.D. Realizing that there was an underserved population in these facilities, we created these modules. By putting a human face to the vets and breaking down the information into accessible chunks, we bridged that gap. Based on the success of this module, the client returned and asked for two more modules.
