Skill Set of David Edeburn

David Edeburn’s fancy skills for html5 banner ads

Being a Motion Director with a focus on Display Ad creative means I must have a myriad of skills.  Especially now with the mass migration over to HTML5 land I must have a great sense of aesthetic, be able to interpret the core messaging of a campaign and translate that into motion that enforces this narrative.  But in order to do that I have to be able to animate in software like After Effects CC 2015, Adobe Edge CC 2015, Flash CC 2015 Canvas HTML5 environment and as if that wasn’t enough I have to code in HTML, CSS3, Javascript and use libraries such as create JS, Greensock’s code library, and various CSS libraries.  This year I feel much more like a true developer, it’s been a really fun test of my coding chops, some of which were admittedly rusty. 🙂

Being a Director means that I’ve spent years training people to do what I do and helping our digital department with our integrated marketing strategies, pitch decks, scope documents and the like.

So without further adieu here is a list of skills in no particular order, basically pulled right off of my linkedin.com profile here.
