Alan Morin has been designing and producing computer models and animations for print, broadcast, and multimedia productions for twenty years. After graduating from Massachusetts College of Art in 1995, Alan combined his background in illustration and design to produce computer graphics for daily television programming and three websites associated with a regional cable television sports channel. From 1998 to 2000, Alan worked on the design and production of media programs for museums for the Chedd-Angier Production Company. Highlights include the design of accurate 3D animations for the interactive science discovery center for the Petronas Oil Company in Kuala Lumpur and a virtual reality tour of Aramco’s oil and gas refineries in Saudi Arabia. Alan then became the sole designer and animator for the award winning PBS science series “Scientific American Frontiers” hosted by Alan Alda. During this time Alan was responsible for the research, storyboard, design, computer modeling, and descriptive animations for 30 episodes about a broad range of new technologies and discoveries in science and medicine. In addition, Alan designed and developed the 3D computer animation for interactive multimedia experience of the 1944 kamikaze attack at the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum and a dramatic recreation of the Ploesti bomb run during World War II for the Virginia Air and Space Center. In 2004, Alan launched a 3D design and animation company with full production capabilities. Recent work included animations and designs for the titles and map graphics for the History Channel production “Alaska: Big America,” the interactive multimedia virtual fish tank for the Georgia Aquarium that opened in November 2005, and the “Mars Transporter” animation for the Virginia Air and Space Center in 2007.
At Champion Exposition Services and now at The Freeman Company and FreemanXP, Alan is currently designing expo booths as well as show look and feel with 3D modeling and animation including fly through visualizations at modeled convention centers.
