Client - Yoko Ono
Among all of the types of clients i have worked with over the years, fine artists always are the most demanding - in the best way possible. They have an attention to detail and even an awareness of detail that makes for a very collaborative client. For her retrospective Yoko Ono worked with us at Tape House and ZUMA to restore her original films and video artworks. The resulting DVDs were used as exhibit masters and limited edition works.

Client - NUON
Though barely released to consumers, it was an honor to be chosen by NUON as a beta tester and developer. The technology added new features to a DVD player such as playing 3D games, enhanced DVD navigation and some access to DVD-ROM content. We produced the "pack-in" DVD that was included with every new player.

Client - Whitney Museum of Modern Art
Working with artists such as Shirin Neshat (work pictured above) and Isaac Julien also included assisting (with art-geek pleasure) in the installation of works for shows such as the Biennial and The American Century. At ZUMA, we would transfer and restore films, produce the DVD masters and build control systems for exhibits.

Client - PRIMEX / NASDAQ
When NASDAQ launched their Primex Trading Service, ZUMA was hired to direct and produce the campaign which would be used on laptops and also played on the building-sized screen in Time Square, NYC. Cinnamon and i worked with Herb Strauss to painstakingly bring financial trading systems to life.

WINNER - 2000 DVD Award – WebDVD Excellence Award

Clients - GUESS / RCA RECORDS
The promise of Click-to-Buy, or turning viewers into shoppers, has never quite come together. But this project by ZUMA did receive a 30%+ direct response rate when we distributed Web-connected DVDs and CDs featuring Tyrese in GUESS clothing. Users clicked directly on outfits in the music video and to buy clothes on the purchase page.

WINNER - 1999 Best New Software Product – Presentations Magazine
and WINNER - 2000 DVD Standing Ovation Award

At ZUMA, we were working with advertising agencies, broadcasters and corporations to archive their videos. Inevitably, people wanted to use their videos in presentations...but there was no simple and effective way to access an interactive DVD from PowerPoint. So we created ActiveDVD.
