Clever Plugs. Specialists in interactive real-time graphics
Clever Plugs provide consultancy and software design for users of Brainstorm's eStudio. We can help you to make the most of your investment in the Brainstorm platform, creating complex interactive graphics quickly and reliabily.
Clever Plugs is a new venture drawing on our programming experience with award-winning production company Cheerful Scout, an innovator in interactive graphics. We have years of experience writing plugins for eStudio on versions 8-11. In that time we have developed a close working relationship with Brainstorm, and have acquired a detailed understanding of their graphics platform, extending it with a suite of sophisticated and customisable plug-ins including charts, sound-eq display, geographical maps, voting systems and network based interactivity. We have also added fully-integrated, programmable databases capable of modelling vast and complex datasets and interacting in real-time with eStudio. This gives us the resources to provide a robust, end to end solution, from data input, to data analysis, interactivity and extremely high-quality rendering.
What we can do for you:
- Explain eStudios capabilities.
- Find the simplest solutions to complex graphics requirements.
- Troubleshoot existing projects.
- Provide a range of clever plugins for common needs.
- Design and develop custom plug-ins created for your exact needs, in Python or C++.
- Use our plug-in framework to rapidly prototype your ideas.
We are used to working in a production environment in close collaboration with producers and designers and employ agile work practices to ensure we keep focused on our clients' needs. We continue to work closely with Cheerful Scout and their highly experienced team to offer complete integrated interactive graphics solutions, including 2D/3D design, custom hardware, system installation and event management.
Who are we?
Tim Diggins and Paul Harter are the principals at Cleverplugs. We are highly skilled with diverse technologies (Python, C++, java, ruby, .net, database integration) but none of that is as important as listening to you and delivering value to your projects by creating simple, robust software, or just identifying hidden gems in the software you already own.
We have been working together on designing and developing Brainstorm-based software projects for two years. Tim has been working in Brainstorm for 5 years and had work in multimedia interactive display and database programming for almost twenty years and web programming for ten. Paul has worked in broadcast tv for twenty years, produced DigiRostrum software used by broadcast producers, and has worked on various projects with the underlying 3D framework OpenGL for over 5 years.
We've got long programming experience and invest time and energy in keeping professional best practices in software development.
We're human, experienced, and focused on understanding and responding to your needs.
