Super Cool Saturday Animation on a Saturday!

I have no idea what this is for, its a bumper for something,  but hey, it looks awesome (and its got a moustache on a robot)…

 

More entries AND contest extension date!

HOLY Space-Food-Ballin’,  Cracker-jackin’, Baby Laughin’, Coke-drinkin’ Animate-made ANIMATION!!  Today we got more Toon Boom Animate contest entries to show off.  Also good news for anyone deciding to finish this contest or finish their Halloween costume, you’ve got till November 9th to wrap things up.

This one below is actually our first entry…

 

Aly Fell and the Covers of Books that Don’t Exist

So I’m currently reading the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, and about 120 pages into the second book I realized I had no idea what the cover to the books looked like. No idea, meaning, my memory sucks. But I do tend to remember good art and these were just plain bad. Each cover [...]

Remember our Animate Pro contest?…

Well, its about time for the entries to start rolling in. Remember the big prize is a copy of Animate Pro, a $1999 value. Full details on the contest are here, and obviously its not too late to enter (we might even extend the deadline a wee bit if I get enough emails saying “I’m [...]

Berlin Block Tetris, anyone?

This animation by Sergej Hein is awesome, but easily 20% more awesome for what he did in the last couple seconds.

Am I right or what?

A very cool Actionscript 3 animation.

The author of this amazing piece describes it as a “Handdrawn audioresponsive video exploration”, but if you read the comments section where he posted it to Vimeo, he’s a little more clear about the handdrawn-ness of it . When I first read the description and saw the animation, my jaw-dropped because I imagined this guy [...]

Bow before Influxis, and their Army of Flash Media Servers!

So in the next few weeks I’m going to be checking out some of the applications that Influxis has on their Flash Media Servers, and beyond that, hopefully trying my hand at programming some Flash stuff with more real-time-connectivity that usual. Its not something I’ve done in a lesson yet, and if you don’t know [...]

Change yourself for me. Adobe pulls a Kenny Powers with Envanto

There’s a sad comparison here. Watch Kenny Powers bully Stevie at minute 2:30 (bad language, so not safe for school or work). Now read how Adobe made Envanto change their name. Pretty raw deal. Bullies are only fun on TV.
So anyone else have “Flash” in their domain name? If so I’m assuming you are using it in [...]

Alternative, Animation, Coldplay. Nuff said?

Check out this animated video set to Coldplay’s “Strawberry Swing”.  I’m pretty sure it is pure CG, not stop motion, but definitely made to look like claymation. I could be wrong, but as I’ve said before, real stop motion kinda irks me, and this doesn’t, so I’m assuming a computer was involved. All hail the [...]
