Originally I didn’t pretend to write about me. However, as I get asked these questions a lot, here’s a bit about me and what I do:

Me

My name is Jordi Ministral and I am the programmer of FFilmation. Originally it started as a hobby after I was forced to stop development of an isometric game I was doing for a client. I was very annoyed because I thought It could’ve become something great. For the last few years I’ve been abandoning and restarting the project randomly. And with AS3 finally the performance was good enough to make it usable in a real project. This is why I finally have made it public.

My job

I am co-owner of a small multimedia production studio in Barcelona. We offer interactive production services, mainly in flash, but we use video postproduction software such as Adobe After FX when the project requires it. Our main clients are advertising agencies that don’t have their production force “inside” the agency. We are 3 people inside, and external animators, musicians and 3d modelers that we use on a project basis. We don’t have creatives or art directors because we work together with the creatives and designers in the advertising agencies. I think we manage to do alot of work in spite of being relatively small, because we offer very specialized services and leave the creative process and relationship with the final client to the agency.

Usually we work from a creative idea and some PSDs showing the art direction, and produce everything from there to the final product. We can adapt to the clients workflow, sometimes we do everything including server programming and hosting, sometimes we only do actionscript programming.

Contract availability

Yes, we are available for contract work either using the FFilmation engine or not. If you are considering hiring us, drop me a line. The only thing to take into account is that usually we are fully booked one month ahead.
