D Day

D-Day To Victory

Since my previous post of an interactive website was a bust I decided to resubmit a post in that category.

A TV series for History Television www.ddaytovictory.ca is an interactive website that follows real WWII stories and the events that led to D Day using 3D visualizations of key battles during the last year of the 2nd world war.

While exploring the websites there links that guide through a map like a general explaining the plan of attack. One can explore the scene and be informed of the event that is taking place. It is engaging and creatively done where you can hear the narration of veterans at each event and there are many links to tidbits of information about the war.

Check it out HERE.

I like this page because it really utilizes creativity through flash to portray his photography in an artistic and fun manner. going from photo to photo you almost feel like youre in a gallery, all the way up to having a lady standing in your way. haha. I also really enjoy the sound switch. very cool.

 

Cyriak

Cyriak Harris is an artist who makes surreal animations using flash and after effects. His style caught my eye because i had never seen anything like it. He has many animations on the internet that are about 4 minutes average in length and has had tv spots on Shotime and Adult Swim, as well as commercials and music videos. His unique approach to animation inspired me to take this flash class to explore all the possibilities  of animation using real pictures (rather than cartoons) to create an eerie, trippy, experience for the viewer. His animations range from cute and playful to creepy and unsettling but always entertaining.

Waterlife

This website showcases information pertaining to a documentary called "Waterlife". The film itself is about the cycle of the Great Lakes and how the fresh water affects us as a species.

The use of Flash can be seen in the unique interactivity between your mouse and various graphics such as the wave-like bars of the load screen, which will follow your pointer, paper clip graphics that can be shuffled around by the nudging motion of the mouse, et cetera. Even the constantly shuffling  photo map will alter and tilt when you move the cursor.
