AFTER EFFECTS + FLASH (part 1/3)

FILED UNDER: After Effects, Animation, Flash, Video Production

images/blogheader1.jpg

Flash is a great starting point for animations designed for the Web. But when it comes to more realistic motion effects, Flash is certainly limited. Enter After Effects. The combination of Flash and After Effects enables animators to create a broader cache of animations and techniques and ultimately develop more compelling deliverables. The goal of this three part analysis is to touch on the topics most beginners want and need to know in order to get started with integrating After Effects and Flash. Beyond beginner level topics, the 3rd and final post will touch on performance issues, concepts, and methods.

The Boys Are Back

FILM TITLE: The Boys Are Back
CATEGORY: Film Website
CLIENT: Miramax Films
URL: www.boysarebackmovie.com

The official site for Miramax Film's 'The Boys Are Back' presents the film's content via a deconstructed navigation system - think top search items culled from within the structure of a traditional EPK* site. The goal was to create a universally relevant and appealing means of navigation through lucid themes of emotion and perspective and to provide meaningful insight into the story, characters and filmmakers. Each ethereal site section utilizes a refreshingly subtle use of Papervision 3D that projects an ambient energy illuminating the film's emotion and intelligent vision.
