Compass Records and Catie Curtis just closed a music video contest for Catie's song Sweet Life. Here's my submission that I just finished tonight: Sweet Life : Catie Curtis from Steve Smart on Vimeo....
3:45:31 Whew, what a day... I'm glad that's over, until the next one!...
Hello. As you may have noticed I've been quite remiss in posting anything to Lightbox in a long while. After being super dedicated to the concept of daily photo posts for several months, I've now fallen off the wagon. I...
In this shot, Stephen was filmed running into the backyard and climbing up the ladder of his swingset. A photoshop rocket (more on that later) and a bit of time in After Effects and you have this: Get the Flash...
My son Stephen and I are making a little home brew rocket movie together. Stephen's only 5, so it's pretty simple and basic. He plays an astronaut traveling to Christmas Planet to retrieve a present for his sister. Seriously! It's...
Motionographer and Go Media recently sponsored a fun little wallpaper contest. Basically they presented everybody with a sample pack of Go's vector toolkits and had everyone go to town with creating their own wallpaper using those sample vector shapes. Here's...
This is the report I got this morning via UPS.com while tracking a box containing some new running shoes ordered from Road Runner Sports last week. I love how they need to tell me specifically that it's derailed train...
Here's a quick little video we put together this weekend showing Stephen demonstrating his lightsaber skills. Get the Flash Player to see this player. var FO= {movie:"https://media.dreamhost.com/mediaplayer.swf",width:"320",height:"260",majorversion:"8",build:"0",bgcolor:"#FFFFFF",flashvars:"file=http://www.stevesmart.com/archives/flv/stephenSaber.flv&showdigits=true&autostart=false" };UFO.create(FO,"reel");...
Hi all, this is an age old discussion that I'm sure has been covered elsewhere before. But, can anyone recommend an easy and inexpensive way to convert a Powerpoint slide deck to individual SWF files? I'm trying to create one...
Here's a little nugget that I discovered today that some of you may have known for a while, but is new to me. If you have a button (or a movieclip, in my case) that has some ActionScript associated with...
I do most of my iTunes listening at work, especially movie soundtracks and podcasts, with headphones while I'm working away on whatever our latest undertaking might be. But, recently, I had to have my machine image reinstalled and I wasn't...
Steve Jobs' annual Macworld keynote starts in just over 30 minutes and I can't wait. It's almost a cliche at this point to say that Jobs' is a master presenter and is an expert at revealing the latest and greatest...
If you've recently installed Adobe's Video Production Suite (consisting of After Effects, Premiere Pro, etc.) you may have missed the fact that there are some nice plug-ins bundled with the package. But, you have to install them manually, they don't...
Following up on last year's post (as seen originally on Kottke.org) here is my 2006 list of cities: Hermitage, TN Washington, DC Miami, FL * New York City San Juan, PR Louisville, KY * Raleigh, NC Destin, FL Detroit, MI...
This is our family Christmas card for 2006. I hope you all have a great new year and a great 2007....
I was cleaning off an old hard drive last weekend from my first Mac (goodbye Performa 6214, you will always be loved) when I was reminded that once upon a time I had a wild hair and attempted to create...
I just realized that I posted my 300th image to my Lightbox photoblog earlier this week with this image. My rate of posting to Lightbox has increased significantly in the last 2 months or so. When I first launched the...
Steve Wolkoff, the product manager for Flash Media Server at Adobe, has an open thread on his blog asking folks to add their wish list items for the next generation of FMS, version 3. At work, we're currently in the...
Adobe's MAX developer conference starts tomorrow in Las Vegas. I would be love to be there this year, but it didn't quite work out. I've been before, in 2003 and 2005, and it always manages to be a great conference...
No, I'm actually not in Times Square today. But some work I created is. I recently created a 30 second animation loop for Deloitte's Technology Media and Telecommunications practice to celebrate their Technology Fast 500 list. The video was shown...
