Project Description:
The Fee Hedrick Family Entertainment Group owns three large theaters that are homes to five shows in Pigeon Forge, TN. The shows are:
- The Comedy Barn Theater
- The Black Bear Jamboree Dinner Show
- The Miracle Theater
- The Blackwoods Breakfast Variety Show
- Triumphant Southern Gospel Show
A single, corporate website was needed in order to send out media releases, marketing material, and corporate information. The majority of the information needed to be publicly available so that various media outlets could access the editorial content as well as any photos or videos associated with stories.
There was also a need for a password-protected area where authorized users could download logos, photos, posters, etc for marketing purposes.
Project Details:
Elements I created
- Practically everything you see other than the actual articles and photos within the articles
- Logo and header image
- CSS menu
- Password-protected area with photos, logos, and editorials of each show
- Template design
- Based on Wordpress content management system and K2 Theme

Project Description:
A few years ago I played a computer game called “Unreal Tournament†regularly and ended up playing a match against someone at a LAN ( www.lanwar.com ) that ended up being a fairly big deal. In order to make the match more interesting to show people, I took the highlights from it and turned then into a music video. I wasn’t the first person to do this, but I had a ton of people asking how I created a music video out of computer game clips, so I created tutorial on how to do it back in 2003. The tutorial became very popular around the world and led to many incredible videos being made out of games. This gave me an idea for my final project in Interactive Authoring II at The Art Institute Online.
Using Macromedia Director, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Audition, Adobe Premiere, VirtualDUB and a screen recording program called “FRAPS” I took the information from the tutorial and pieced it in with images, music, and some sample video clips to show people exactly how to make a music video using clips from a computer game. While Unreal Tournament was the game I used as an example, the method works for just about every computer game. The process used is strictly for Windows computers as there wasn’t any software available for the Mac at the time to capture video in games. If there is something out now, please mention it in the comments below!
In order to view the tutorial, you’ll need Shockwave Player installed in your browser…if you don’t have it, you’ll be prompted to download it…don’t worry…it’s free. So click the image below to learn how to create music videos from computer games!

Project Description:
During my freshman year at The Art Institute Online I had asked the faculty numerous times about creating a “community” for students to communicate outside of the classroom. It would provide a way for students to talk with other students that were not in classes together. It seemed like an amazingly simple idea to me, but I kept getting told “We’re working on it” for months. Finally, on January 18, 2004 I got tired of hearing “We’re working on it” and flat out did it myself. I put together a forum in a single day and then launched a website to go with it three days later. It immediately filled up with students showing gratitude for a place where they could communicate outside of classes. Also, it wasn’t endorsed or sponsored by The Art Institute Online so it was a completely honest and laid back place to express all sorts of opinions about the school, classes, facilitators, etc. Hundreds of students have posted thousand of topics in the forums as it continues to grow in popularity. It was literally built for the students…by the students.
Project Details:
The Art Institute Online Student Community includes
- Forum for students to communicate, buy & sell items, show projects, etc
- Content Management System for posting articles
- CSS-driven navigation menu on the main site
- Ability to post videos in articles
- Over 100 affiliate partners
- Monetized with Google Adsense, Commission Junction, Linkshare, and Azoogleads
