Happenings around the halls of AREA O2

by Victor Obenauf

It has been a fun time here at
AREA O2. We recently finished a broadcast commercial for the Vegas market for Sleep Apnea TMJ of Nevada. The spot was shot for JB Creative (a great small agency.) We shot the spot on a small stage with great lighting, HD and the AREA O2 JIBoTRON 5000. It looks very nice!

by Gus Gustafson

In the creative world everyone is looking for the ‘new thing’ and the ‘new way’ to communicate their message. Here at AREA 02 we are no different, with each project we take our viewers on an emotional ride, drawing people into a world and letting them experience something unique to each clients message.

NEW IN CYBERSPACE

The Launch of The New
AREA O2.com Website

by Brent Swain

The new AREA O2.com is set to launch in the coming weeks. The new design is stream-lined, sleek and optimized to easily navigate the media-intensive world of AREA O2.

A challenge with the redesign of the website was to find a meaningful, attractive, user-friendly method to present the large collection of video content that has been produced by AREA O2. Video playback quality and download speeds were also factors taken into consideration.

The solution involves the use of a javascript-enabled video navigation system providing scrollable thumbnail browsing and easy viewing of the video portfolio that makes up the core of the operations here at AREA O2. Be prepared for plenty of nice surprises on our new site. It’s fun, it’s interactive, and it's soon to be live!
