Proxi Blog

Aja Bogdanoff wrote me yesterday and had these nice things to say about Proxi:

I’m an animation student who’s also teaching Maya training classes on the side, and I’ve gotten tired of having to constantly tell people “Now I’m hitting the F key. Now I’m hitting the Command key. That was the Space bar.” and I’m sure my students are sick of it, too. Today my husband, who’s a big fan of Proxi, suggested that I use it to display what key I was pressing and what that key does as I work, without having to think about it or explain it or anything. And I LOVE it! It’s totally going to change the way I teach the intro “here’s what all the controls do” class.

…

As I was telling Mark (the husband), the coolest part of this is that we went from saying, “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if….” to having a totally functional and nearly perfect tool in about an hour. And it has almost all the features we could possibly want in it… totally customizable text, placement, colors, opacity… we’ll be able to add images when we get to that point… it’s really pretty remarkable.

So this is really cool. It’s great to see people using Proxi to come up with creative solutions to everyday problems. Aja and Mark even made a little movie to demonstrate her technique. You can watch it here.

Thanks Aja and Mark!
