Great Moments in SC History
It was exactly one year ago yesterday that SceneCaster quietly opened its doors to the world and hoped that someone would walk in.
I have to go to the U.S. occasionally for work and I always get uptight when the customs officers ask me what I do for a living: "Well, I work for this software company and we have an application that lets you create 3D scenes where you can add objects and then there's this Google component to it and you can add video links and..." At this point the officer's eyes usually start to glaze over and I begin to wonder if I should have just said "Boxes; I make boxes."
I can't wait for the day when I can say "SceneCaster; I work for SceneCaster. No need to hug me."
We're not quite there yet. We're getting close, though. Here's a look back at some highlights of the past year.
Sept 25, 2007 - The First Scene
As far as I can tell, this is the first one published (not half bad, either):
Jan 4, 2008 - The Joker
Ellen Solem's television breaks down, prompting her to create her own fun and some of the most visually compelling scenes ever (with the worst titles). Who can forget the sheer suspense and dramatic tension of "26" (see what I mean?), in which a giant beer can with a grudge stalks an unsuspecting hiker out for a stroll?
March 26, 2008 - The Favorite
Lesley Bergen begrudginly accepts a friend's invite to join SC...as far as I know, her family have not had clean clothes or a hot meal since. She develops such a devoted fan base that her scene "Invisible" scores an astonishing 542 page views ...and there's nothing in it! NOTHING!
April 15, 2008 - The Addict
Joy Brewer joins SC; author of 163 scenes and counting - that's a new scene just about every day. She says SceneCasting "is the most relaxing thing I have ever done." Must be a nice break from her day job on the bomb squad.
April 15, 2008 - The Innovator
We add the 'link' feature that lets you create your own links to other scenes and other Websites. Some smarty pants named Diroshi Raja uses this to create SC's first interactive graphic novel:
July 18, 2008 - The Ambassador
SC's rapidly growing Spanish-speaking population prompts Isabel Christina Restrepo to guest blog for Designer's Den because frankly, my Spanish is muy malo!
Sept. 25, 2008 - The Crew
Our sincere thanks to all of our great contributors for their imagination, their skill, their humour and most of all for sharing their scenes with us.
