Toy Story Template – and Lots of Master Layouts!
For Toy Story, I had lots of great character art to work with! The request for a white background and lots of character options made good use of the multiple master layouts in PowerPoint! I invested a full day in storyboarding the character combinations and slide combinations. The final template has 22 unique Master Layouts. Many of the layouts use the same placeholders and formatting, but different character art. The goal was to make it very easy to design a slide and reassign the Master Layout at any time to different characters without changing any of the slide content formatting.

At the other end of the entertainment spectrum from the previous WWE post is Disney’s Rapunzel. Using great animation art as the focal point for each master slide layout and adding plenty of princess glitter, here is the Rapunzel marketing template developed.

PowerPoint Template for the WWE
PowerPoint is used everywhere – even the Wresting Ring! Well, the presentations may not be actually in the ring, but the marketing guys talk about the ring a lot in their presentations. Here is the template developed for the 2011 WWE marketing presentations.

TLC PPT w/ Video Slide Used By Microsoft
Seeing your work displayed to the world is always pretty great. In this case, it has also brought in hundreds of comments on a recent Facebook post by Microsoft.
From a recent project for Microsoft, here is one of the video “templates” I created to demonstrate the video capabilities of PPT 2010.
The Facebook post is here.
In reading the comments, I was surprised at the number of people requesting content-over-video be added as a feature. Maybe some additional advertising and market awareness campaigns are needed. Content-over-video is available in PPT 2010, works great, and the video being commented on was developed in PPT 2010.

On a recent show, I was at the tech table front of house (ie. out front looking at the stage, vs. backstage). Here is my view of the event.

Tech Deck for Green Lantern Presentations
Here is my tech area as I developed the marketing presentation for The Green Lantern on a recent show.
The computers are (left to right), production computer, primary show computer, backup show computer. Note my very nifty 7″ USB powered monitor near the center (right above the box of Excedrin…).

Animated Logo Loop
On a recent project, we were provided with a number of corporate logos and asked to create an animated presentation that would be able to seamlessly loop.
The logos were all supplied as Illustrator .eps files. So the first task was converting to .emf or .png format.
Then each logo was separated into many small image files to allow flexibility in animating. All animation is developed in PowerPoint 2010. Here is the result:
