6b. May 16th. Shoes

Amos:

Our time in Paris seems to be marked by one thing in particular, the search for shoes. Neither of us are too happy with the shoes we brought (only one pair each) and it would be nice to upgrade shoes to save our feet closer to the beginning of this trip rather than the end.

Ok, so that was the thought. By now, we’re half way through the trip, on a train to Barcelona still having found no shoes. We kept a eye out for shoe stores during our exploration of Paris (the French word for shoes is chaussures, which we pronounced in a very American way every time we saw a shoe store) and eve made a few trips specifically for shoes but without luck.

I think both of us would enjoy having a pair of shoes bought in Europe. As for me, my feet don’t hurt that bad anymore and I’d prefer a pair of Spanish shoes over French shoes if they are yet to be found.

END Footwear And Papervision3D

Last week at work we finally launched a site on which I’ve been working on off and on for about three months. The site is a hybrid site for the new shoe company END Footwear. The homepage Flash piece includes a wall of selectable video clips rendered in 3D space using Papervision3D. It was a very fun project to work on, and I’d love it if you all gave it at least a quick glance. :) www.endfootwear.com

And if you’re interested in additional technical descriptions of the site build, also check the post at the Summit Projects Flash Blog here.
