LAUNCHED!
My most recent project was animating for Primal Screen. The client: PBS Kids/ The Electric company!
PRANKSTER PLANET!
I was SUPER EXCITED to work on this! It came out looking so damn cool!
It's a series of mini-sodes that tie into online games and printable documentation for the larnin' of the chilluns, all of which was handled by Primal!
I really can't get over how amazing it looks. Everyone has rocked my socks off. Wrap party this weekend! :D

F******* FLASH SHAPE TWEENS
Shape tweens seem like tricky bitches beyond mortal comprehension, but really they are just a fussy pain in the ass. I used to both hate them and be mystified by them; now I find them really time-saving, and they're like enablers to working in certain styles I really like. Which I suppose means one day, I will love them, and have little shape-tween-green babies.
Tips & Tricks after the jump!

FLASH EXTENSIONS MEGAPOST
I've been on a flash extension ODYSSEY today!
Here are some sites with free flash extensions! You're bound to find some of them useful.
And remember how we used to joke about something that would automatically key the lipsync based on the audio file? WELCOME TO THE FUTURE YOU LIVE IN! That happened!!!

100% Flash |
My most recent project at Primal Screen taught me a f***ton about flash rig set-up, which will help a lot while working with this design. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work under Jeremy and Joe. They are ludicrously kind and patient.
There are probably a lot of things that should change about this, design-wise (there almost always are,) but at the moment, i'm still in love with it.
Start setting up the mouths in the... later part of this morning.

FLASH RESOURCES GALORE
ToonMonkey - A treasure horde of flash extensions, including FrameEdit, which I consider an absolute MUST HAVE for nested flash animation. I mean DANG.
CloudKid - A Boston-based flash animation company has kindly posted some of their plugins, including Keyframe Caddy. Once you've used something like this for symbol-keyed lipsync, you will NEVER, EVER GO BACK.
Anipedia List of Extensions - including the Autosave* plugin, and PixelTools, which is great if you want to make something that's got a little bitta 8bit flava.
*If you're using CS5, the flashguru autosave plugin won't work for you! Luckily, Trick or Script's flash plugin is as cheap as free!

Thoughts on social gaming (but not WoW)
AKA: Brownnosing to game companies while job hunting
Some friends and I have been shopping around the social gaming / mobile gaming sphere, recently. I have done some field research on these games, and here are some of my thoughts on the subject...
(LEFT: a walkcycle executed on an isometric grid, modeled on Beyonce for reasons both clever, and hilarious, i assure you [helfrez for space's sake].)

ROBO BABY NURSERY
My friends Timmy and Maggie are having a baby! The nursery theme is robots, and they asked their artist friends for artwork!
I intended this to have an oval matte, like an old timey portrait.
The Marriage of Mr. Butlertron and Miss Rosie the Robot. Surely this is operaworthy material.

FLASH->ILLUSTRATOR COMPATABILITY

So i fiddled with settings and figured this out. This tutorial allows you to export an image from flash, and import it to illustrator, while maintaining vector/layer integrity.
I hope this helps someone!
ps: Works in cs5, does NOT work in cs3. cs4 is unknown territory.
