Code Learning Module

 CodeCademy

I am privileged enough to work in a restaurant where i meet all kinds of people every day. How you get into some of the conversations you do i couldn't tell you. Anyhow, i had a customer come in a couple of months ago and tell me i was wasting my time learning flash and so on. He told me JavaScript was soon to dominate. So i took the day or two of extra time i had and began completing the first chapter of JavaScript on this site. Hands down one of the best ways to learn code. You are given directions in each lesson and then you are instructed to do like a practice scenario duplicating what you just learned. If there is an error it tells you to try again. And to add to the fun of course there has to be prizes right? Oh yes, you earn metals for completion of different things.

This is a website I found that uses flash. Their interface is all done in flash, they have some animation and a interactive game. the graphics I thought were very original and all went together well. The interactive game I only played for a little while, it uses simple controls and seems to work well, but I did come across a glitch where I jumped off the screen and my character disappeared off the screen. Other than that I thought it was a interesting site.

This is a cool flash based interactive travel site promoting Brazil. They have a very fluid and relaxed feel to their interface. I really like their custom animated loading bar. all their menus are animated.
This site allows you to explore, pick, and plan your own personal trip to Brazil. They use lots of photos and information and even a interactive map. I thought this was a very interesting way to promote tourism, and it looks very cool.

Animation Domination High Definition

http://www.beta-adhd.com/#/shorts
the website that i am posting for my blog here is a beta website for fox's television late hour television shows and short animations.  you might consider ADHD equivalent to cartoon networks adult swim which is aired around 9 pm until morning showing they're more adult oriented cartoons, like family guy, ATHF, Robot Chicken etc.  the reason I am posting about ADHD is because of a upcoming new show that they will be airing in July the show is called Axe Cop.  the premise behind the show is to follow the comic Axe Cop which was created by Ethan Nicolle who drew the comic he was 29 at the time, and his younger brother Malachai who was 5 at the creation.  Up Till now i believe there has been up to 169 episodes written by a now nine year old and drawn by his older brother.
  the animated shorts ask Axe Cop and the newest trailer are absolutely hilarious, there is just something about the story telling of a young child his imagination is limitless, its violence is justified with good vs. evil and good always wins no matter how ridiculous the story gets but that is the genius behind axe cop.
  the only thing that i have to say about ADHD's website is that because it is owned by the fox television corporation it doesn't really label the artists who are animated not just axe cop but all the other animations and flash related content.  however i did find two names that were dragged into helping with the axe cop series, Arin Hanson (AKA Ego Raptor) and Marc Moceri.  If anyone else is interested in reading up on great webcomics here is the link
http://axecop.com/index.php/achome/index/

and a personal note i think all of the music that they use in most of their videos is composed by Garfunkel and Oats a comedic duo of folk song writers and actresses but i could be wrong, but it certainly sounds like them to me.

The Museum of Me!

The Museum of Me -
          
           I was just perusing through a few different styles of flash websites and designers when I came across this particular site called the "Museum of Me." It was developed by Fluid Inc. for Intel and their company. I actually found this site on the 2013 top ten flash websites from -
http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/best-flash-sites. I figured, "hey why not showcase one of the top ten best flash websites of year, I mean after all it number 2!" This site is truly amazing however it has a specific target audience and I wouldn't necessarily say a small one either. The targets are anyone who has a "facebook" account. Now, what this site does is it compiles all your photos, videos, friends photos, news feed information, location, and basically any information you have ever given "facebook." I know what your thinking a lot of people feel insecure with this idea of all their information going out to a random site just like that, but that fact is that the site is a one time use and non-storing site, however it is repeatable anytime but no information of you will be retained once you leave the site or browser. It has this awesome virtual modern style where the site puts you inside a museum and compiles your information into a lifelike feel of and exhibit in a museum. Fluid Inc. includes randomized people in a building as they are staring at the story of you while also using some amazing techniques of transition from room to room as if you were headed of to the next exhibit in the museum. I personally have never seen anything like this in flash, so I believe the people of Fluid Inc. are already separating themselves from the obvious works of flash such as cartoon style animation, to interfaces, and all the way to video games. This to me just seems so different innovative and quite interesting. The fact that the site had made a story about me and not someone or something else immediately grabbed my attention and made me want to know more, so I believe Intel got their as some would say "hook line and sinker."

New Media - Aimee Robidoux

3D animation is used in both the gaming and filming industry; creating realism through animation has become the focus of today’s entertainment.  Such memorable characters like Gollum in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings, or the gorgeous landscape and incredible creatures in John Cameron’s Avatar, were all created using 3D animation.

Avatar was possibly the greatest breakthrough for realistic animation; a whole new technology was developed for accurate depiction of muscle movement in the non-human Na’vi.

One of the more difficult aspects of 3D animation is the motion capture.  Currently, actors have to wear a skin-tight suits with infrared markers attached to them.  The sensors send out signals to a special camera system, which captures the human movement and can later be transferred to a virtual character.  The suits the actors must wear are uncomfortable and inhibit natural movement because the sensors get in the way.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany, have developed a technology that may be able to eliminate the uncomfortable suit altogether.  Because this is a new technology, and patented, not very many details are known about the science of how it works.  However, this new method will allow actors to be filmed in their normal clothes, and the software will analyze their movements and transfer the information onto a virtual character in the form of a skeleton.  The other benefit to this method, is that the need for special cameras is eliminated.

If this new technology were to be implemented on an international scale, costs that go into buying the special cameras and the suits would be eliminated.

Gene Blakefield and Darin Bendall

For my exploration I chose to do Gene Blakefield and Darin Bendall.  They are animators who animated a video for a musician I really like, M. Ward.  The video for the song "The First Time I ran away" is kind of cool because it actually tells a story.  One of my favorite parts of this animated video is the art style.  The art and animation aren't terribly animated but everything just has a great texture to it.  The video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBTIHh-cXj0

The other video I chose from these animators is called "Chinese Translation", also by M. Ward.  I thought this video was simple but interesting as well.  I love the Monk character and the cool textures.  The animations aren't terribly complicated in this video either, but they pull it off really well and it really adds to their style.  That video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUfIKX5ReKQ

Webcomics and Flash

I’d like to focus more on how flash can help tell stories by going over three webcomics and how they utilize flash. These are just the tip of the iceberg on how flash can be utilized in comics and storytelling and I will refrain from spoilers in case anyone wants to check out the following comics.

Now, the first comic I’d like to go over is called Ava’s Demon by Michelle Czajkowski. It is a one panel webcomic that has an easy navigation design and occasionally has some simple flash animations.  The comic is put into a framework like a book, and the first thing you see upon going on the site is the cover, which glows as if it were alive.

The next comic I’d like to go over is called Unsounded by Ashley Cope. Unlike Ava’s Demon, there aren’t flash animations and it has more traditional multi-panel comic framework, but where the flash is most utilized is by altering the very framework and even the website page depending on what is happening in the comic.

The last comic I’d like to briefly go over is Homestuck by Andrew Hussie (yes, that is his name). It is a one panel webcomic and it utilizes flash the most out of this trio. The panels themselves can either be typical art or they could be GIFs. Then there could be short interactive panel or even a flash animation thrown into the mix. The dialogue is held beneath the panels and is either all out in the open, or must be open through chat logs.

Flash gives an opportunity for artists to tell their story in a way that traditional media cannot. With flash, a comic can be given music, or a short animation, or even break the borders of it panels. It opens possibilities that many comic artists are taking advantage of.

Beware of the Chosen One!!!

I found this flash animation from newgrounds.com , so I'm sure this video could have been showcased before cause its definitely one of the more popular animations and I believe its the second of three clips to the quick animations that Karl showed us in the beginning of the semester where the dude was battling the the person controlling the pointer!! This particular Flash Animation   http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/368557 I think it is hilarious ,and if you have worked with flash and are familiar with the program you will really appreciate this short animation. The programmer who created this animation Charles Yeh (flame862) is looking for challenges, so if you feel you can beat the chosen one step up to Flash and show the Chosen One what you are made of!! Here is the link http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/316541 to the first one Charles Animated and Karl Showed us in the beginning of the semester. It was such a good idea that he has made a trilogy of animations and a game based on this theme and others have mimicked the idea. Its funny how the more simple animations can be the most popular.

I wouldn't even know where to begin creating a video like this, but I hope to someday have the skills and know how to make something that would be a comparable battle for the Chosen One!! I really like how Charles took something that looks so simple and made it something that is obviously a very complex flash animation!! I really thought that he was creative on how the programer is trying to save his computer from this little guy that he drew up and is now making the programer fight for his computers life.

Explosm AKA Cyanide & Happiness.

For my first Blog Exploration, I chose to do: Explosm. The creator of Cyanide & Happiness comic strip. The creators are Rob Denbleyker, Dave McElfatrick, and Matt Melvin. All three combined with their staff created Explosm business. Their comic strips and animations are insanely hilarious and quite clever!

I love their animation shorts I found on youtube the most. They do in fact use Adobe Flash to create their animations. I would love to get on their level of animation by what I learn in our class!

Here is a link to all of their animations:

FUN!

Marvin Eason

Studio/Artist Exploration #1

For my first blog exploration I chose the studio/artist option and the studio that attracted me was Big

Spaceship at www.bigspaceship.com. Their company began very early in the whole scheme of

digital age it was in 2000 when they launched. I became attracted to this exploration of Big

Spaceship,

because it reminds me very much of iPoint project we are about to work on for our next project in 

my other class focusing on web design.

     The layout of this whole site is very simple, thorough, and professional all at once which is very

attractive in itself not many sites have this it creates a sense of uniqueness Their technique of

attraction and sophistication of being able to explain their company in the simplest form is quite

innovative and intriguing. In fact, so much so that they seem to draw you into their site making you

want to read and discover every little nook and cranny with all their secrets and details of how and

what they are and have become today.

     I knew this company was professional and driven as soon as i saw this quite impressive and long

client list. Some of the clients they showed that worked in partnerships with them were as follows:

Absolut Vodka, Activate, Activision, Adobe, Alienware, Altoids, Big Spaceship, Chobani, Chobani

Champions, Crayola, Epson, Fast Company, Finish Line, Glaceau, Google, HBO, hp, Lands End,

Life Savers Gummies, Lucas Films Ltd, Microsoft, Moma, NBC Universal, Nick Jr., Nike, Orbit,

Seventh Generation, Shake Shack, Skittles, Sony Pictures, Starburst, Target, The New York Times,

Urban Daddy, Victoria Seceret, and Youtube.

    I myself being a drinking advocate and was looking at one of their ideas for branding Absolut

Vodka from the bars to the backyard but in way without saying hey just party with Absolut but,

instead making the partiers want to have it on their own. They created a site for Absolut party

generating tool for the users in order to communicate the brands message the link to that site is

http://www.bigspaceship.com/projects/absolut-host/.

Another one of Big Spaceships works I really enjoyed is starburst. I love how their them theme for

catching the consumer is contradiction. By pointing out lots of contradictions starburst grabs their

consumers attention for example a solid juicy candy. On the starburst site they have created fun

games and links to entertain us like funny analogies such as "boneless ribs or a clumsy ninja." You

can check out the digital presence they have created at www.starburst.com.

    Overall this company was highly impressive and look forward to using it as a reference for Karl's

other class in web design. Its a great resource and I recommend all of you use this site as a source for

branding and connections.

http://www.tokyoplastic.com/dm.html

I discovered this website recently to where I love interativity through the web. So I love making music and playing around with it. This website was something cool and entertaining. There is always something different happening when you click over on them. Concerning flash it has the basics and even more I like the uniqueness of the style of it.

http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/technology/rollercoaster

This website I came across on and thought it was interesting because its like nothing you see on the web. It uses interactivity for the user to chose which path you want to take. Also it uses graphical elements that are unique as well. Its different and has a lot of potential to it!

Newgrounds

stick figures

I chose to concentrate on Newgrounds.  It's a site that lets users showcase and collaborate on flash animations.  I've been going to the site off and on for years as an observer.    One of the first flash animations that I watched where I was aware of it being flash, was stick figures kung fu fighting.   Over the years there's now 80 of them.

     Newgrounds offers support and critiques to become a better animator, and the site navigation is easy to use and understand what you're supposed to do.  It's a great resource.

Cyriak: Animation, Graphic Design, and Illustration

Main Website:  http://cyriak.co.uk/index.html
Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/cyriak?feature=watch


Cyriak is a UK free-lance animator whose animations, more often than not, delve into the...strange, and sometimes disturbing. While he does not state if he uses Flash for his animation, on his about page he does state that he uses Adobe Photoshop and After Effects for most of his animations.

He does a variety of work, including commercial projects, television advertising and music videos. His website has all of his work, including animated GIFs such as these:

     

I believe that he designed his website himself, and it has some basic interactivity at points, though it's main focus is to give easy navigation to his works .

For the most part, I enjoy his work. It is admittedly bizarre, surreal, and some of it is downright frightening.  However, it’s the bizarreness, along with the strange humor, I enjoy about it and the craftsmanship is something to respect, especially with some of his more complex animations.

While he has a lot of work and it is very easy to watch them all and lose track of time, here are some of my personal favorites:

Resource Exploration – The Bestest, Most Cool Sites Complied 4 U by Xperts

In my search for great interactive media I found it easier to link to great interactive sites through organizations that did the legwork for me, these include: Best Web Design Awards, Interactive Media Awards, Horizon Interactive Awards, and The Webby Awards. These sites provide plenty of examples from winners and nominees from various digital platforms that get your creative motor running. In my opinion, www.bestwebdesignaward.com is the most user-friendly, providing screen shots, details and links to the featured pages, and above all, identifies the software used to create the media.

I really wanted to showcase the work from late night work club (http://latenightworkclub.com/) because I have been watching the trailers they keep putting out. What I really liked about this is that there is a bunch of people with completely different styles creating one video.  I was hoping that the full length production would be done by the time I had to present my blog but hey time was not on my side so I thought I would give you a couple of links to the trailers I have found for the production. http://vimeo.com/53444485

Since I couldn’t showcase the works of lnwc I figured I would take a peek at what the members of the club have done on their own. One of the members caught my eye their name is Eamonn O’niel so I looked at his website and he had 4 videos one of them was really short I am not sure if it is a trailer or not but it was pretty cool mainly because of the music. The video that I really liked is call im fine http://www.eamonnoneill.ie/I-M-FINE-THANKS . This is kind of a weird one but still fun I thought.

A lot of the members have great little shorts and I recommend that if you have any time on your hands you should check them out! http://latenightworkclub.com/?page_id=10

Resources Exploration - Aimee Robidoux

The first site I found and explored was flashkit.com. This website has a plethora of resources, including tutorials, free flash animations, sound FX, and written reviews of other Flash-related technologies and resources. It has a forum where Flash designers can ask questions, request help, have discussions, and etc.  It also provides another forum, dubbed "The Lounge" where just casual talking is allowed; no Flash-related issues.  This site would be useful for pretty much anybody, professional or beginner.

The second resource website I found was entheosweb.com/flash.  This site has resources available for other Adobe products as well, but it's Flash section was what I looked at.  It has tutorials for some of the basic steps, like bitmap tracing, drawing in Flash, etc.  It also has detailed guides for more difficult effects, like making a static image of water give the appearance of motion/rippling.

ffiles.com is a repository of free flash files.  They've got files for pretty much everything: buttons, actionScript, animations, clocks, games, image effects, etc.  Great resource if you just want to download some cool effects, or play games.

This weblog has some good, basic tips for working in flash: pat-burt.com/adobe-flash.

pearljamtengame.com is a really cool puzzle game made in flash.

saizenmedia.com/newsite/works/ is the website of a digital media agency that makes interactive experience websites, mobile applications, illustrations, TV ads, 2D/3D animation, print campaigns, social media games and applications, integrated campaigns, etc.  They might not be flash-specific, but they doubtless use it in some of their projects.

http://www.matthiasdittrich.com/

This is a really cool portfolio site.  I really enjoy the animation in the transitions.  I find a lot of flash sites to have low usability and I feel this site does a good job of being edgy but still useful.

New Media Exploration

I came across this pretty cool video game while searching the internet. It's from the history channel http://www.history.com/games/arcade/ice-road-showdown/play. It is based off the Ice Road Truckers show. The game is easy to play with the up, down left and right keys. I think the graphics are pretty cool and the music really adds to the experience. The goal is to deliver your cargo as fast as you can without crashing and by avoiding hazardous cracks in the road. 

Inspirational Short

http://www.shortoftheweek.com/2011/03/13/thought-of-you/

     I found this flash animation short extremely moving. Normally when one thinks of animation (or when i do at least) i think fun, light animation often geared toward children. This short is mesmerizing and quite a cool site if you back further out of the video as well. Instead of using words and sound from the characters themselves, this artist was able to use motion and soundtrack to make this piece speak.

     By going to this link:
http://www.shortoftheweek.com/films/
You will be taken to the Film Directory where you can choose to see different films based on style (most pertinent to our class so you can choose flash animation), topic, or genre. For those aiming to continue in their animation studies this site will be a great resource for examples in other types of animation such as collage and 3D animation.

Have fun exploring!

New Media Exploration - Experiencing Music

Ahhhhh! Where to start! Identifying new media possibilities has made me feel like John Nash, the mathematician depicted in A Beautiful Mind, not the genius part, but the scenes where he is unable to harness his thoughts and writes on any remotely flat surface, walls, wood, post it notes, completely covering the interior of his garage. How do you begin to explain something that has limitless possibilities? We are on the cusp of being able to be anywhere are any time and have complete control of our experiences with new media techniques.

Wherever your interests lie: sports, music, television, art, etc., the experience is yours to create. Let’s narrow our focus on the direction multimedia is going with experiencing music. A quick and dirty chronicle of the evolution of experiencing music over the course of time includes: having to see it live to experience it; then came the development of radio; then phonographs enabled us to hear it at will; then music performances became televised; the next big thing was music videos; with the development of the internet interactive music videos became possible; subsequently we were able to select which instruments the band would perform for a song; and the most recent advancement in multimedia music technology can be witnessed through Chris Milk’s interactive film production of David Bowe’s  “Sound and Vision” performed by Beck. The “Sound and Vision” production demonstrates the ability to experience a concert from any location within a venue – even from a catwalk – with perfect sound quality using 360 cameras and 360 binaural microphones which makes for a true to life sound experience. The only thing missing is the smell from puffs of smoke floating through the air.

The “Sound and Vision” project really expanded my thoughts on where ideas will take us next. The first exciting thought that came to my mind was the effect it will have on televised events. For instance, an NFL game has several cameras at work during a game and a producer in a control room determining which angle we view. In the near future it seems very possible for every fan to select the camera/angle they wish to view at any given moment –or if they are like me and pay little attention to the field, they could span the crowd and sidelines for their own form of entertainment.

The evolution of multimedia music experiences can be seen on the following websites:

“Neon Bible,” Arcade Fire

Artist Exploration- Bo Mathorne

The short film:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVkDrIacHJM
The making of:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnnbTaMXDqQ

This short is a creepy and dark animation about the undertaker. I love the animating style, and how everything flows together. the expressons of the characters, and the sound effects.
I have a draw towards most 'dark things', and this is just one video I couldn't help but share... It's not exactly a flash animation, it was done in MotionBuilder's Maya.

Die Anstalt: Curing Crazy Toys

 http://www.parapluesch.de/#

I recently rediscovered a site that I had found about a year or two ago. It is a German based site called Paraplusch: Psychiatry for abused Cuddlytoys. The main screen has two paths: an online shop and an attached flash game.

I mainly want to focus on the flash game, as the online shop has little-to-no flash and its main focus is to give people a means to buy the toys featured in the flash. The game is called Die Anstalt, or when translated, "The Asylum."

After choosing your language of choice and a brief, skippable intro, you play a doctor and your goal is to cure all your troubled toy patients. Currently, there are six toys to cure, though I believe they add a patient when they make a new toy for the online shop. Each toy has a different disorder and some are easier to cure than others.

Upon choosing a toy, you are given a variety of treatments to choose from. Depending on what you choose, you can either make progress in curing the patient...or you potentially make things much, much worse. Sometimes, the treatment you pick doesn't change anything at all. It all depends on the patient, for different disorders call for different treatments.

I found this to be a very enjoyable game. The animation is cute, simple and, for the most part, very smooth and very effective when it needs to be. I also enjoy the concept of game and the fact that it gives further depth and backstory to what is basically a quirky toyline. 

Studio/Artist Exploration: Brooke Jagoda

I came across a cool site that is the portfolio of a Canada/ Switzerland based digital design studio called In the Loop. The first thing you notice is how the word "Loop" follows your mouse. I liked how their color palate is mostly greys so it's a little sophisticated but the shape of the word "Loop" is much more organic looking and takes you back to wanting to play with Playdough.

The first thing I checked out was the tab titled "Works". They had quite a long client list. Most were
unidentifiable European projects. The only client I recognized was for Air Canada were users were encouraged to participate in the game-like interface that ultimately entered them into a contest. I didn't spend a lot of time investigating that site though. I was more intrigued with how they set up their own site.

After a little browsing around on my own finally discovered what the little icon is at the bottom center. You roll over it and it pops up to display more ice-cream shaped icons. When you roll over those you realize it's supposed to be like a game where you have to go and unlock the items to advance. I had some fun going along with it because a couple items were just goofy and others you had to tweet about the site or go and "like" it on Facebook. The one I liked the best asked the question "Who's the king of pop?" and then it promted you to type it at any time even though there was no field to type it in. And it worked! All I had to do was type Michael and I was able to advance a little bit.

From reading each of the developers descriptions under "About", it seems like they both have a big passion for designing digital media and creating a richer user experience. Well it worked for me! I feel like their work is set apart from others' because of the non-linear manner in which you can navigate their portfolio. I feel like the experience clean, and yet playful and innovative.

Here's another example of their work:

Siboire
This site had a nice layout, I liked the colors and the images they used throughout. It's a website for a brewery in France.  Everything is in French so I can't really tell how the information is organized. One thing I managed to come across was a description of their beers. On the home page there's a set of tiles you can click on. It's the center one with the light bulb. They don't only use images but also video of the head spilling over. Then you used the hand to swish to the next one. The only thing is that it takes forever to load.

New Media Exploration

I came across this site while I was reading this article about Flash. A developer was mentioning that flash would be non-existent soon and that he no longer uses it on his websites. But I was reading the comments and a lot of people were disagreeing especially when it came to interactive media. One of the people who commented posted a link to a site which I never been to before but it has over 11 million facebook likes. It's called  http://www.takethislollipop.com/

You log into the website using your Facebook account. It asked you to allow the site to access your friends and photo's just for the interactive experience. Then it shows this psycho guy going through your account and all your information and your pictures come up. Then google maps pops up and it shows your city and location. Then the guy jumps into his car and then supposedly drives to your location.

I think this was a pretty cool site. The interaction was pretty intense especially when it uses your actual pictures. It makes you wonder how the developer came up with this Idea. The way it was filmed looks very professional and where they filmed it definitely set the tone.
