Welcome to Clint Carlson Productions
I am an independent web designer/developer and video post production professional based in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, but I work for clients all over the world.
I create a wide range of work including html, flash, hybrid web sites, advanced interactive banner advertisements, html emailers, motion graphics, vector drawings, animations and video editorial, content management systems, e-commerce and more. Below is a journal of recent projects.

Real Flash Opening Module - August 26, 2008
A few months back I worked with Stratasys to get a new campaign off the ground which involved package design, HTML emailer designs and web page construction and layouts. They came back to me with a concept for a Flash opening module to sit in the main page which will fade through the services offered as well offer functional buttons to take the user to each section intro where the user could then click to go deeper into the topic.
"Real Parts, Real Stories - Opening Module".
If all goes well on client side, I should have an update tomorrow with a full flash site.
Internet Broadcasting Banner Ads - August 15, 2008
As you can tell by my lack up updates, I've been pretty busy at my contract position at Internet Broadcasting. I'm right in the middle of a 6 month interactive design contract where I am primarily creating advertisements for the web. I meant to update this as things went along with projects I was proud of, but just was too busy. So here are a few. Keep in mind that IBSYS legal says I cannot display the names or any logos of any projects I worked on. So if some of these seem a little out of balance or have solid color spaces in them, that's just me keeping things legal :)
There are many many more, I just need to get organized, which is a little hard to do while full time contract work + freelance is so busy :) MUCH more to come, I promise. I have a site for a pipeline contraction company coming soon, a photography stylist site, and a Stratasys flash intro all in their final stages!
Real Parts, Real Stories - June 15, 2008
More work for Stratasys has been completed. I built out the initial design and framework for the HTML emailers, contact sites, box design and some database support for their current campaign:
"Real Parts, Real Stories".
Headaches! (the project name) - June 8, 2008
I have completed the animation, action scripting, sound mix and output of an animated comic strip via Creative Arc who had a client with such need. Very fun project.
Headaches - Creative Arc
Lack of updates... not lack of work :) - May 1, 2008
Yes, there has been a lapse in my blog updating of work. I've taken on a contractor position for Internet Broadcasting. Primarily doing web advertisements (static, animated gif, flash, expandables, etc.) and some other graphic design. Been very busy over there and enjoying it very much. Most other work has been maintenance, updates and all kinds of work that doesn't seem large enough to warrant it's own blog post. There are a few larger projects coming up and being completed, so there will be more updates soon!
Flash Translation - April 7, 2008
Anyway, I finished a huge project for Sajan, who do translation work. Johnson Controls needed an Interactive Flash game translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Czechoslovakian and a few other languages. I was glad to help them convert their game into a number of languages. I understand that Johnson Controls is launching this at the end of June. I'll link to it then to so I can avoid any letters with lawyer letterhead on it.
Land O' Lakes - March 13, 2008
Wrapped up this very large banner ad campaign for Land 'O Lakes. 2 sets of banner ads, and banner ads with expandable content in 4 different sizes.
Here is one example of the expandable banner ad which allows a new degree of interaction between the advertisers and ad viewers.
WoodDreaming - February 22, 2008
WoodDreaming was one of my first sites actually. More than a few years old now, we decided to re-vamp the site with a new look, introduce Google Ads, and focus more on a blog that will detail the work, tips and current events over at WoodDreaming.
