Hi, I'm Ben Morrow. I'm one of the founders of constantcomedy.com. I work mainly as a startup entrepreneur and consultant to interactive TV projects. I recently moved to San Francisco.
Current Projects
Irish language Cultural Centre (Cultúrlann) Video Wall Project
I am currently managing as a consultant the creation of an interactive high resolution video wall for the Irish language cultural centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland utlising the newly built internet backbone link from Northern Ireland to Halifax USA. I am collaborating with Sinclair Stockman, former Chief Scientist and CIO of British Telecom who organised the project.
Dialogues for rockpaperfusion.com
Worked in a team of 3 on a small project to create dialogues in multiple mediums from simple input. The idea was to design and produce a tool in a matter of weeks which achieved a "summary" of complex information.
UK National Lottery Gameshow Demo System
A system I built allowed producers to edit a gameshow's running order, parameters and question bank in the familiar Excel environment. Flash would then load the excel files natively and run-through an interactive multimedia demo version of the gameshow based on the input running order. The system allowed for rapid accurate refinement of the gameshow format in run-throughs with commisioning execs, test contestants, producers and designers. The system has also been used for contestant training for pilot shows and is slated for the same before transmission. The specification is highly modular and so can be used for future shows as well as other contexts where it is useful to interpret an excel file in flash.
Recently completed
China Jet Expo marketing lead
Worked with the newly formed China Jet Expo to set their initial marketing strategy. I worked as the trade show's marketing lead and iterated their brand and marketing materials as well as representing the trade show at the Asian Aerospace conference in Hong Kong. In my role I made several key approaches to partners who are now attending the show.
