Bonner Bridge Interactive
By rob • May 29th, 2008 • Category: Interactive Graphics
About: The Bonner Bridge Interactive adds an important dimension to an investigative story about the cost of upkeep of a bridge that covers a span of open ocean near the Outer Banks of North Carolina. A 3-D rendering of the bridge features controls that allow users to understand how the shifting sands on the ocean floor undermine the stability of the bridge.
Specs: Our 3-D artist Tim Lee created a rendering of the bridge in Lightwave. I worked with him to export the render and create an opening animation. The rest of the project was built in Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2. It uses XML to pull in external data.
Roles: Multimedia Producer, Programmer
