Web Design: Cigaroo Web Design and Web Development
Cigaroo is a new venture selling the popular electronic
cigarettes in South Africa. The Electronic Cigarette looks,
feels and tastes exactly like a cigarette. However, the
reduced health risk, freedom to smoke anywhere, no second
hand smoke and lower cost makes it better than a cigarette.
The non-flammable Electronic Cigarette is driven by modern
microelectronic technology, a small rechargeable battery
and a unique, safe replaceable cartridge containing water,
propylene glycol, nicotine, a scent that emulates a tobacco
flavor and a membrane to suspend the ingredients.

Web Design: Pokerstars Video Commercial
PokerStars is most likely the most popular online poker
gaming platform, used widely by people throughout the world.
After having a look at various poker video commercials we
started filming bits and pieces of chip tricks & techniques,
poker cards being laid out on the table, eye movements, etc.
Then all compiled into one sequence using Final Cut Pro, and
added a custom-soundtrack using SoundTrack Pro. The whole
process took around 4-5 hours in one day, mostly focusing on
using depth of field whilst filming, camera movement
effects, etc. Hope you enjoy!
