The Monkey and The Monk

This is a loose experiment with the ultimate goal of learning Flash as an animation tool. Our plan is to produce a short for the purpose of creating unpredictable circumstances to help learn, develop and possibly create practical techniques. Crazy like a monkey and focused like a monk. This is our blog of notes and work. All critiques and contructive criticism are welcome.

The John K. Show...

Myself, Mark and our friend Hanna went to the John K. show in San Francisco last Saturday. I was really impressed with the way Flash was utilized in his projects, especially the new video he did for Weird Al.

He said it was "a new way of doing Flash". TO me, it just looks like he drew out every pose...just like in traditional 2d. I see some tweening here and there, but mostly it's pretty fluid. I'd really like for the project to look like this...but it's important to test the possibilities first. After all, Fosters looks nothing like this and it's pretty damn cool.

Here's some more cool flash links:
