American Tower: On-Air Access

Of the several projects I've completed for American Tower, this is by far my favorite. In addition to a series of HR-related E-Learning programs, American Tower asked me to complete a short demo piece highlighting their new "On-Air" program, which aimed to streamline employee access to HR Benefits online. I was given free reign to create something that would stir up some buzz within the company as long as my designs remained true to American Tower's established branding standards.

My goal with this particular animation was to mimic the feeling and effects you get from After Effects generated motion graphics. The challenge was overcoming Flash's limitations, so I ended up creating a series of animated "cheats" for elements such as the lighting effects and lens flares that could be layered over Flash.

I'd like to think the results would make even JJ Abrams proud!
