Taylor Lane commissioned me to build a Flash microsite for Intelligent Energy’s new ‘env’ mountain bike/motorcycle hybrid, based on a non-polluting energy source, ‘The Core’. I was given static designs and asked to build the site in Flash, including the navigation system and to script all the movement, instead of using the traditional timeline-based technique. This proved so successful that I’ve used it for most of my work in Flash since then, as it offers fluid, natural, physics-based movement that can’t be achieved in any other way. The site also features a movieclip scroller, which changes dynamically depending on the specific content (used here for the text panel), and draggable video clips. Site is currently offline.
Expandable banner and overlay showing a comic-book style animated remix of the TV advert. Wunderman commissioned me to design and build it. I treated the footage in After Effects and outputted key scenes as image sequences. In Photoshop i went through the frames individually, saving off transparent gifs to be imported into Flash, where I layered it up with animations and copy text. I then commissioned an audio engineer to create a remix of the advert’s soundtrack, to fit in with the length and pacing of the Flash movie, and sourced some sound fx.
The client loved it, but it got banned soon after going online, after complaints that it glorified gun culture.
