EXAMPLE : AS3 programming, flash art, video production and motion graphics
I used this project as jumping off point for AS3. It had become apparent that manual animation, and pre-rendered 3D alone would not suffice and I knew that if I really wanted to produce games, becoming an AS3 developer was the direction I needed to move.
This particular project, essentially a flash website containing lots of downloadable PDFs, was the perfect spring board. Taking the simple
concept of organizing PDFs into a newspaper and expanding upon it using AS3 gave us a much improved workflow and enhanced capabilities that we simply didn’t have before.
Capitalizing on the 48hr turnaround, zero budget workflow I created at the NTDaily (see the NTDAILY WEBMASTER POSITION for more details) I created a simple, yet effective green screened video introduction.
To summarize, this used animation libraries (tweener), external xml files ( to speed up development) and flash video to produce a very nice feeling virtual newspaper.
