Description Well, I finally grabbed Flash by it's scrawny little neck, and strangled an animation out of it. For the music, ~MonkeyMen chopped up Air's Playground Love for me.

It's got a long intro, and I couldn't do everything I wanted because of playback problems, but I hopes you likes it anyhow.

I like so much!
It's very poetic!
it remind me to a recent work I did. It was an animation of the liquid and bubbles coming up in a wine glass.
I hope that I could submit it in the next days.

I don't think I have seen such a sobering... well I think animation is too modest. Never-the-less its a beautiful piece.

Its provokes deep emotions.


I added this to my favorites a while ago on my old account. I found it again decided to add it to this one and take the time to comment.

Oooh, I love it! It's very smooth, I must say. I've only dabbled in flash a few times, and usually quit before I get anything meaningful done because I can't draw with a friggen mouse and I don't have a pen tablet thingy >.> *crosses fingers for Christmas* <.<

Anyway, I never could get the hang of layers. I'd always have something drawn and kind of functioning before I'd think... maybe this part should be on a different layer? Well shit. That's a hassle... and then close the program

The layering in Flash is monumentally stupid. I hate it, and it's part of the reason I haven't made many animations. These days, I use After Effects.

air produces some of the most elegant music. i think this is my favourite visual i have seen that incorporates one of their pieces. i wish you wouldn't give up on flash animations, this one turned out quite wonderfully.

Flash MX. Which I hate, and haven't used seriously since.

nyctopterus In reply to falco-aquila [2007-06-12 13:41:31 +0000 UTC]

Computers don't bother me (well, not unusually so), it's Flash in particular. Everything about the way it works is topsy-turvy, unintuitive, non-standard, and often just plain stupid. Moving from any normal vector drawing program to Flash is enormously frustrating because of the strange behaviour of objects and strokes. Keyframing is unnecessarily complicated and oddly behaved. Moving the head counts as an undoable action (meaning you have to hit undo twice as much as you would think you should to get back). And to top it all off it's very unstable - it usually crashes a few times an hour on me.

Adobe might have fixed Flash, but I don't know, because CS3 apps won't run on my OSX 10.3 system.

DA has "lost' a bunch of flash files from around this time. I should re-upload it and see if that works.

ok... NOW i wish i knew how to use flash and wish i were half as good... very well done... i very much like the timing between the pulse of the bubbles and the music... and i love the scenes within each bubble... and i've always been a fan of your muted tones and smooth forms. well done! done gushing...

jesus christ... now people here need to take animating lessons frmo you sir. this was gorgeous. the part that won it for me was the woman shooting the man with the contradictory calm music playing... I love things like that.

well, this is a gem amongst all the flash animations I've seen. beautiful work, and for the love of god and all that is holy... keep it up.

nyctopterus In reply to IvoryDrive [2005-09-21 18:17:45 +0000 UTC]

I am really frustrated that animations take so long. That one took me two weeks absolutely solid - all day every day. I just don't have the time for animating anymore. Which is shite and sometimes makes me cry.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

IvoryDrive In reply to nyctopterus [2005-09-21 22:00:14 +0000 UTC]

I know what you mean. that's why all my animations are either minimalistic, based off actionscript, or humorous so they dont' have to look good.

I know how you feel though, and making games takes ever longer. I made a game a while back called 'storm the house' that took 2 solid weeks + one day of working maybe 12 hour days on it.

Fantastsic animation, where did you learn all that? It was simply fantastic!
It was subtle, not 'flashy' as most... very soft, colors blended, the animation was seemless....


...wow...

Good Job! ^_^
