One University Gate

This is a very unique project that required an unusual approach. One University Gate needed a flash animation that could illustrate a finished software product. The skeleton for these scenes and lighting angles were created in 3D Studio Max. Textures and details from photographs were added at predetermined angles to create three-dimensional details in each of the buildings. The sky and concrete were fitted and cloned along universal angles. Photoshop was used to airbrush and correct shadows. Ten scenes were created and then loaded into Macromedia Flash 5.0 with small animations to create the demonstration.

Software: Adobe Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, and Macromedia Flash 5.0 conceptualization, graphic design, 3D design, flash animation and active script, user interface design

 

 

 

Seattle Flash Designer and Web Designer : Mikey Longr:

I specialize in Seattle Web Design and Seattle Flash Design. Michael has been working on the web for over ten years and specializes not only in web design technologies like Macromedia Flash and HTML but web development technologies including the asp, asp.net and PHP4. As a Flash Designer in Seattle Washington I have done work for top names in the ever expanding Flash Animation industry. I owned a new media and multimedia design company for three years. OverDrive Media specilized in multimedia development including Flash, streaming, web design and database driven media systems.

Flash has revolutionized the way that web graphics are created and built an entirely new market for 3d Animation and motion graphics. Flash Animation started as a very simple method for creating vector based web animation. The Flash Movie was little more than a slight advancement of the animated gif. The files were large, the drawing options limited and the end result clunky. In the early days of the Internet (5 years ago) this was enough to blow the competition out of the water. While their have been numerous ways to create motion graphics none of these methods has combined the impact and usability of Flash. Flash became the standard for online motion graphics because it was easy to use. Web animators did not have to understand code or advanced scripting language. You could design in flash, move things around, restructure the animation and duplicate effects with ease. None of this was possible before Macromedia Flash.
