The New Media Center redesigned the University Health Services (UHS) web site, created Dreamweaver-based templates, and migrated content over from their old site to the new look and feel.

Building Services Staff Appreciation Luncheon video

For Building Services’ annual Staff Appreciation Luncheon, the New Media Center filmed testimonial interviews with staff, faculty, and students in front of a green screen backdrop. During editing, the backdrop was keyed out and replaced with an animated background (mouse over image for a simulation). The video was such a hit at the luncheon, we created another testimonial video the following year.

Working with the Rockefeller College office, the New Media Center redesigned their college web site with an eye toward usability, updatability, and web standards. A key feature of the new site is a searchable, database-driven directory (built using DBToolbox) of students and fellows that completely replaced the paper version of their college facebook.
