Cursor Interactivity-Revised
Cursor Interactivity_Extending beyond the photograph frame.
[Flash Animation] Development- Interactive Animation-PanTest
A short test experimenting expanding beyond the frame by replicating “pan” effect.
[Flash Animation] Development- Interactive Animation 03
After producing a series of tests and familiarizing myself with flash I produced a short animation, the first of its series using interactivity through the combination of symbols, buttons and motion tweens.
Although the idea is still at its infancy It is my desire to produce a small interactive animation testing the notion of memory and negative aura. The short piece of writing submitted to explain the meaning of the collective set of photographs that make the backbone of the animation will be an interactive portal where users may be able to expand text to a readable size. This in turn will act as button to activate an animation or still photograph associated to the meaning of the specific word chosen-A sort of visual dictionary.
Although I feel that this idea will be a great exercise it is by no means a finalized concept. Please go ahead and engage with the short animation (by moving your cursor within the space above)-there is a hidden button that will activate a short image, see if you can find it and enjoy!
[Flash Animation] Development- Interactive Animation Test02
Just expanding on the previous animation by adding an extra scene, a beam of light is revealed once the cursor hovers above a certain point (as the image becomes completely dark). Once such button is clicked it activates a short glimpse of the image in its original state. Decay is animated on the background surface by very subtle moments leading to a button reveling itself through short flashes. I am certain that the button should create a link to the exploration of another image. Ideally I would like a small set of particles following the cursor movement and slowly revealing an image. This will call upon the use of masks to reveal an image and its the next point of exploration.
Please engage with the short animation and watch out for the decay.

[Flash Animation] Development- Simple Interactive Animation
This is a simple interactive excercise using ‘buttons’. Please engage with the the short animation (by moving your cursor within the space above)and find a single button that will give glimpses of the photograph in its original state on mouse click.

Without using ‘Motion Tween’-Test Run 02
This is my second test run using flash after my first tutorial. Using images from a photography workshop I am playing with light and shadow effects.
This particular short movie shows the image getting darker.
I am aiming for a far more realistic effect were light filtrates the room thus making it lighter. At the moment the transition is not as smooth as I had hoped, it is due to the fact that ’motion tween’ tool was not used. I choose not to use a motion tweenintentionally to discover the differences between an animation done per frame, step by step and by applying a motion tween.
