Randall Packer

DVD Menu & Video Editing

Michael designed a DVD menu system and edited the video using Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Motion, and DVD Studio Pro. He also created custom timed mixes to go with the introduction video that runs when the DVD is inserted. He also narrated the audio commentary included in the DVD's special features.

The DVD uses a naming convention inspired by real-time strategy games. The main menu is called "Base Camp." The chapters menu is called "Waypoints." And the special features menu is called "Gear."

The "Gear" menu includes a custom design featuring running videos that are clickable to jump to the corresponding section of the DVD. Completing this effect required adding Photoshop masks to the Final Cut footage in the exact shape of the monitor screens in the background. The video appears to exist in the monitor, but in fact it is floating on top.

Website Design & Branded Contract Writing

Michael is working with this agile, smart, and small start-up government and commercial contractor to create a website that conveys the energetic culture of the growing company. He's using animation, third-party integration with Facebook, Twitter, and Google Fonts, an advanced Calendar with Facebook-based Event Scheduling, an employee scheduling web application, PayPal integration, and an overall look and feel that conveys the passion of the dynamic staff running this start-up.

As if that were not enough, Michael is using his upbringing in a family of lawyers to write customized, branded contracts for this Client. Management can now negotiate, organize, and construct a pool of talent based on professional, enforceable agreements that contain thorough coverage written in plain English. All of the contracts are vetted for Maryland legal validity by attorneys practicing in Maryland.

By leveraging his literary abilities with his talent for legal writing, Michael has saved thousands of dollars for his Client by providing their attorney with complete, well thought-out documents that clearly show what the Client is trying to achieve. It is not necessary to iterate the documents at the expensive hourly rate of a great attorney; with Michael's version, only a single iteration is needed to realize a binding contract retaining all the business nuance and complexity, with the legal power placed into the document by several professionally re-worked re-wordings of the contract's provisions. It is a very productive arrangement.

Commercial DJ Mix featuring "Wild Wild West"
Performed by Will Smith | DJ Mixed by Michael “Multimedia” Widener

Michael created and produced this commercial DJ mix for Phantom Records. It features one of Will Smith's hit singles, "Wild Wild West." It appeals to pop music and rap fans because it includes one of Will Smith's greatest hits apart from "Summertime." There are other old school hits such as "The Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground, who are close personal friends of Michael's. Digital Underground's head DJ, DJ Fuse, taught Michael to DJ when Michael was in high school. One of the group's members is Michael's best high school friend's relative. There is a long history of Michael and the music industry, and his talent for making music that energizes listeners has been among his lesser-known abilities.

As passionate as Michael is about music, his "somewhat" shy nature (believe it or not) kept him from becoming a stage DJ. But don't take our word for it, listen for yourself.

Owner & CEO
Double O Technologies, LLC

Over the last several months, Ogechi Onyewu and Michael have been working to design and develop her company's website under evolving and growing specifications based on Ogechi's ongoing research. The workflow they adopted for this project allows the owner to add features and functionality "on the fly" as the site is developed in a secure, private, development environment. She can interact with proposed functionality, share and receive feedback, and evaluate in real time the costs or benefits of adding features. The site will launch in January 2016 and has been a great experience in an evolving and well-considered project. Michael is looking forward to the launch!

The site was developed using a phase-by-phase approach: a) visual design including "look and feel," b) mock-up interaction including web-based mock-ups for review, c) first phase testing, d) first phase implementation, e) user research and feedback, f) second phase implementation and WordPress content management integration, e) cyber security bombardment testing, f) cyber security implementation and firewalling, and g) site uptime & recovery planning. Following all of these phases, the site will be launched in January 2016..

After the site is launched and the team has had some time to reflect, a testimonial will be added to this page.

Michael updated Glenmont's website by creating a WordPress-based site with a content management system that is easy to edit, easy to manage, and allows multiple contributors to maintain their content under their own accounts without giving them access to other contributors' content.

Michael interviewed the Church staff and gathered requirements. Chief among them was a calendar, a list of events on the home page, and pages with streaming audio of sermons so visitors could hear what the Church had to say.

Additionally, Michael added a gallery of staff, cyber security measures, Facebook integration, Twitter integration, and built in room to grow with a testimonials area that has yet to be enabled.

Harriet administers the domain name and Michael collaborates with her via a shared control panel so that the tasks the Church requests can be tracked to verify that they have been completed to the Church's satisfaction.

Zak Akin

UX Designer
Stanford University

Zak Akin and Michael “Multimedia” Widener go way back. They met each other when Michael attended Cogswell College in Sunnyvale, California. They hit it off immediately. On their first team assignment, Zak brought bounds of positive energy to the group. Michael brought sharp ambition and innovation. Michael's idea completely pushed the envelope.

It may not be well known, but Michael and Zakís school, Cogswell, is located in the famous Silicon Valley corridor that is responsible for the mythos that surrounds Silicon Valley. Many of us know about the start-ups and tech companies of the Silicon Valley. But fewer of us know about the history: Skunk Works. Did you know a small team of highly classified and loosely structured researchers working to do the impossible: make a plane disappear. They invented the stealth bomberís technology.

Michael wanted to share a piece of innovation for their project with the rest of the class so his teacher arranged for Michael to visit NASA. He was off to the "virtual wind tunnel." When Michael arrived for his visit, to get footage for his assignment to bring back to Zak, he had to go through security and tell them what he was there to do.

When his host arrived, she broke the news to Michael that she could not show him the virtual wind tunnel because it required a clearance far above Michael's, something that had been overlooked in everyoneís excitement in sharing science with a young student brimming with enthusiasm. Michael was very disappointed and so was his host.

As a consolation, however, Michael experienced something many of us may never know: NASA sent Michael to Mars.

They introduced him to Neil Armstrongís son, Michael Armstrong, and Michael Armstrong put a VR helmet on Michael “Multimedia” Widenerís head and told him he is about take a lot longer of step for mankind than the first astronaut. He explained that Michael was about to walk on an area of Mars that was accurate down to the pebble.

Michael Armstrong showed Michael “Multimedia” Widener how to operate the remote control for the VR and directed Michael to hump across a chasm. Then he told Michael he just jumped 300 feet! To which Michael responded: "Then I guess I can keep my ballerís card after jumping this high!" Mr. Armstrong laughed and said that if anyone asked Michael if he could dunk, Michael should tell them: "I dunked on Mars, top that!"

Michael received a video of the "wind tunnel" and a "hint" as to why it was classified and unfortunately we canít share that on this page. Suffice it to say, however, that Zak and Michael had a good time talking about Michael's trip to Mars, incorporating the wind tunnel video into their group assignment, and blasting the Star Wars soundtrack on the way to school to give the presentation on the due date.

Michael and Zak have always had a solid relationship and Michael later built Zak a custom-made PC with all the bells and whistles when Michael was working as a computer technician and salesperson at a computer store.

Zak went on the finish his degree and Michael dropped out to work more hours. Zak continued to grow in his animation abilities, especially with Flash, and Michael took more time to get there but ten years later, Michael also finished his own interactive Flash animation after finding his way into a custom-made degree that he was looking for at American University in Washington, D.C.

Michael and Zak shared an apartment together before the dot com bubble popped and investors pulled the funding for Michael's start-up forcing the two to part ways as Michael had to return to school.

Now Zak is a UX Designer at Stanford University still living in Silicon Valley with his beautiful wife and daughter and Michael is on the east coast continuing in school and perfecting his craft. The two are kindred spirits destined to work together again someday if not for any other reason than a shared love of User Experience Design and interactive art.

Ask Zak about Michael's abilities and you will get a picture of two teammates and roommates making their way through life with hard work and equal parts board games and drinking parties.

Karen Hammond and Michael “Multimedia” Widener met in 2011. Michael graduated in 2011 and was immediately introduced to Karen Hammond. Michael hadn't yet finished his final version of his online portfolio. He had one, but he was building a database-driven version based on a popular Content Management System for blogging: WordPress.

As it would happen, Mr. Widener was then, and is now, a perfectionist. He refused to split his dedication to pefecting his portfolio to take on his first full-time client. He declined the new project and poured himself into the portfolio.

Fast forward four years, to 2015. Michael finished the second version of his portfolio and included all of the work he'd completed since finishing the first version. He and Karen reconnected at a local networking event and that, as they, was that.

Armed with new skills, new technological tools he could leverage, Karen Hammond re-approached Mr. Widener and Michael threw in everything and the kitchen sink at a discount to make up for being such a perfectionist four years earlier.

She is now a client for Web Design and Voice Services. Additionally, Michael offers contracts to his small business clients that bring their control over their business relationships to the next level. And the contracts come with access to legal counsel, a complete solution.

Marker Law Firm

It was only a matter of time before Michael “Multimedia” Widener bumped into a lawyer that ended up a client. Mr. Widener's background in law is not professional, it's familial. Mr. Widener's family includes lawyers from various disciplines and because he was raised in a lawyer's home, Mr. Widener has a particular respect for law, it's uses, it's shortcomings, and the reasons law in the United States is not as accessible to ordinary people the way it should be. Believing that law is a tool to ensure rights are maintained instead of a tool of leverage, Mr. Widener has rarely been known to participate in litigation.

As a last resort, Mr. Widener has had is share of legal research to demonstrate to various parties that when he asks for something he believes he is entittled to, it is because it's the law as he knows it based on resarch. It was pleasant to have the opportunity to build a site for his newest client and shoot the breeze about the ins and outs of law life in the D.C. metropolitan area while sharing the finer points of how information technology can benefit an attorney in ways IT guys are all too happy to show.

HP Instant Ink Cartridge

Performance Analysis Expert
HP, Inc.

I once worked for HP, by way of a contractor, and promoted Instant Ink. It was new at the time and I told customers I thought it was a good idea because it was, in my opinion, an affordable, subscription-based way to have ink delivered and save money. Over time, and having used the service now for roughly two years, I have come to the conclusion that a User Experience or "Digital Experience" issue is very annoying, so much so, I am withdrawing my former recommendation of the product. The annoying issue is the fact that, if a customer like me has the "instant ink" cartridges in the printer, and the printer cannot connect to the Internet successfully, it gives the customer an annoying error message before every single attempted print, and eventually, shuts down printing entirely. This "trapping" is very annoying, and it prevents work from getting done when a customer, like me, turns on higher level security to prevent himself from getting hacked, causing HPís Instant Ink to think it canít connect to the Internet. I have always recommended HP products, and will continue to do so, but I do not recommend subscribing to Instant Ink until this feature is repaired.
