Film & Video. Web Awards 2013 Intro. Sockies 13 - Mario-esque screen. This is another of the screens I created for the 2013 Social Media Awards. I used a lot of the artwork that Bord Gáis had gotten made for the event in this animation to make it blend nicely with the very impressive backdrop they had created to go behind the stage. Along with the Wolfenstein screen, this one took a long time to render. Sockies 13 - Introduction. Sockies13 - Wolfenstein screen. This is my first experiment with the physic...

Film & Video. I Try My Best. The game is written in Twine. So it’s a game-like Choose Your Own Adventure story. Since I’m studying game development at the moment, I wanted to exercise my newfound coding confidence and stretch my design muscles, but I also wanted to make something that was in some way personal, even if it wasn’t about. Me exactly, I wanted it to be definitively mine. I wrote the game as part of the Dublin Twine and Jam. Here’s a video of the game in action:. Portfolio: I Try My Best.

Half a Giraffe » Ben Keenan

http://ben.ie/half-a-giraffe

Film & Video. We enjoy our movie riffs! We did this to see what a 5-second time limit felt like before we started trying to write or perform anything within that limit. Another experiment with a simple idea. This, like many of the other Half a Giraffe projects, was conceived, shot and edited all within a few hours as a creative exercise. We had a guest director out on this one, the immensely talented Niall Owens. A cautionary tale about drugs. We have a very strong social conscience. This charming piece ...

Moustache Task Course » Ben Keenan

http://ben.ie/portfolio_1361889484/moustache-task-course

Film & Video. Went to the latest Dublin Game Jam. From Global Game Craft. The above time-lapse was made over about four and a half hours. As we develop the game further, I’ll post about the process over on No Robots. Our game is called Moustache Task Course, it’s a moustache-themed party game. We purposely chose the title because it would be difficult to say if a)very excited or b)blind drunk. Or both, which is c). A sample of some of the questions/challenges:. B) William H. Taft. D) Chester A. Arthur.
