Multimedia Developer
Multimedia developers generate and manipulate graphic
images, animations, sound, text and video into consolidated
and seamless multimedia programs.
Multimedia applications include computer-based, interactive
training, data presentation and information kiosks, CD-ROMs,
entertainment and educational products, and multimedia
presentations.
Multimedia developers may perform the following tasks:
- talk with clients to see what is required
- investigate, analyse and recommend appropriate equipment
and software to achieve the clients' objectives
- prepare flow diagrams and storyboards to outline the
product concept
- prepare code to produce the multimedia product
- prepare in digital format two- and three-dimensional
graphic images and animations, video/sound production and
editing, scan photographs and images, retouch and manipulate
images
- prepare design concepts
- talk with related graphics, production and engineering
experts
- manage the development and implementation of multimedia
products.
Specialisation is common in the industry, although
multimedia developers often perform a combination of the
following roles:
Computer Animator who designs, draws, lays out and
produces animation sequences incorporated in multimedia
products. Traditionally, animators have worked in film and
television, but multimedia provides a new and challenging
extension for creative animators. Animators may be involved in
activities such as the production of storyboards and
stop-motion animation (flat plane, modelling) as well as
drawing cartoon and other characters in a succession of
related movements to create an illusion of movement. Some
further specialisation is possible, for example as a 3D
graphic animator. For further information see the separate
entry for Illustrator.
