Challenge:
All people working for General Mills and visiting contractors are required to pass several courses in safety. Replaced software failed to work consistently. It often crashed and navigation was a disaster. The design did not reflect GMI branding.

Before and after screenshots
Solution:
Freelancing as Flash Developer, I was hired as a to recreate this Web delivered course in Flash 8 (and ActionScript 2.0) for General Mills Learning Management System.
Original source code was not available. I identified the main problems and presented an estimate with a design on the best approach.
The head and hard hat are fully posed and created in Swift3D. The final animations are composed in Flash, providing total control in pacing and transparency. The client said, “We are very excited [the animation]...sells the effectiveness and use of the hard hat.”
This project lead to similar work in the replacement of a five lesson Lock-Out Tag-Out course.
Link: The full courseware is not available; for your convenience please visit my examples.
Each lesson is self contained and plays an intro before the lesson begins. The pretest is not available; choose “Begin Lesson”. Quickly preview the screens (forward and reverse) using the lower right navigation.
Lock-Out Tag-Out - Lesson 4
PPE, Head Protection- Lesson 1
Note: (PPE) to increase user-friendliness and to track the current location in the lesson, I added the audio variable so the audio file name appears in the lower left corner. Now when a user reports a problem, they can report the location easily. This became the track number as shown in the LOTO courses.
