Site Script for the 356th day of 2024


INT. THIS SITE IN THE MORNING

Visitor scrolls to this section of this site. Their approach is overheard by Brian. Fumbling about doing commonplace chores, Brian tries to be at his best.

He appears to be reflecting while cleaning windows.

VISITOR

(excitedly)

Excuse me but can you tell me something?

Brian (V.O.)

Today is special as I am usually not here on Sundays.

 BRIAN

Welcome visitor. I spent much of my formative years independently building a portfolio of experimental digital works before landing a post as Senior Designer for Quark Software in Denver Colorado where I helped develop and promote a multimedia authoring application named QuarkImmedia.

VISITOR

(looking intrigued)

Wow, very interesting. That is something. Fascinating!

Believing the visitor is feigning interest, Brian takes a drink.

 BRIAN

(refreshed)

I was responsible for designing the product’s online presence as well as producing demos and interactive works for early adopting brands such as Rolling Stone, Reprise Records, and Video Action Sports.

INT. THIS SECTION OF THIS SITE-NEW ANGLE

VISITOR

Nice. What did you do next?

Subatomic particles carrying a fractional electric charge dissipate as an enormous heat light approaches. Brian looks proudly at the visitor while winding up a chartreuse metronome. He sets it down as it ticks onto a pedestal.

 BRIAN

In the late 1990s, I was relocated to the Bay Area after accepting a role as Senior Designer New Media at Sun Microsystems.

VISITOR

Neat. Sun sounds like fun but with an S rather than F. By the way, can you get rid of that time marking apparatus? Its tick is rather obnoxious and I do not understand why you brought it here.

The visitor continues to scroll downwards as Brian sits down upstairs. The surrounding environment is a labyrinth of fenestration and color of varying degrees of saturation, luminance, and hue. Brian nods in agreement and silently fulfills the visitors request and eliminates the metronome.

 BRIAN

Sun was a lot of fun. My working relationship with Sun continued after my wife and I co-founded interdisciplinary design studio, Sight8.

We served as vendor of record for the Sun web experience team for more than a decade, providing front-line design support for numerous successful programs and product launches. We worked to develop, improve, and enhance the visual design and user experience of sun.com and delivered tools to help maintain the Sun brand across varying touch-points, in multiple languages worldwide.

VISITOR

(very excitedly)

That was a bit of an earful! Nonetheless, tell me more about Sight8.

WIDER ANGLE

Brian stands and begins illustrating a diagram of some sort or another while something that sounds a lot like a slide carousel plays in the background.

 BRIAN

Sight8 is a design studio that is just exiting its 20th anniversary. The route for info is http://sight8.com

VISITOR

Ok. Tell me something else…

MOVING SHOT

 BRIAN

Throughout my career I have enjoyed the opportunity to provide creative direction and interaction design to aspiring start-ups, established enterprises, and not-for-profit organizations. I am proud to have worked with global innovators across a range of sectors including technology, healthcare, financial services, education, human resources, and entertainment. Each design challenge has provided a new opportunity for growth through continuous learning, experimentation, testing, feedback, and iteration.

We PAN away from Brian, MOVING IN on the visitor. The visitor appears calm and collected by this explorative experience as the day presses on towards Monday.
