Pilot Media started with fixed
media in 1993 and has been involved with producing Director projects
ever since. If your product is education based, you might consider
using Director. For desktop playback, Flash cannot compare to
the diverse capabilities that Director offers. Over the years, we've
designed, developed and programmed a lot of fine products, worked really
hard, met some really nice people, and had a lot of fun. This area
is still under construction, we will be offering Flash based picture
books in the coming months to provide a deeper look into some of our
work.
