Trimming the GTH Trailer

Today I get to recreate the Ghost of Thornton Hall trailer…but shorter! When we first launched GTH in the Apple App Store, they only allowed screenshots — no video. Since then, they have allowed video and we need to get that trailer up in the app store! However, the challenge is to shrink it down […]

Here’s the list I need help making: what are the most iconic items you remember from all the Nancy Drew games? For example: […]

Animation, Video Style

I’m trying to animate the next GIF for Friday, and I had been using Photoshop for the previous graphics… but this time, I’m trying a shortcut!

Nancy Drew Lamp

A Nancy Drew Clock

In my free time today and in between projects that were waiting for review and approval, I spent a little time fixing a clock. This clock was a mundane-looking clock I had and it needed to be NancyDrewified. Or else it was not worthy of decorating my office space. Here it is: a simple clock […]
