Hey,
I was looking at this site, and the ‘‘launch sequence’’ look really cool:
www.hostrocket.com (press Activate Launch Suquence on the Flash banner).
Without sounding too stupid, i have a question:
Does the movie have 3D elements in it, or does it use tricky flash shape effects like the text sort of properly dissolving at the beginning, that looks a bit like its made in a 3D program.
Thanks, and please give me some help if you can.
Cheers,
KillBill
I’m guessing that wasn’t easy to make. I see no 3D animation at all. The blue streaks just use perception. It’s just frame by frame animation that was drawn in Photoshop or something. You can tell that the whole thing is tweened (no actionScript) because if it wern’t, the progress bar would not work the way it does. That’s my guess.
ok, any idea how i would go about doing something quite complex like that (never tried it) like the dissolving and the streaks flying towards you?
Cheers.
Yeah. This is what I would do to emulate what they did. I would make a bunch of drawings on paper of the basic animation. Black ink/pencil on white paper. Scan them all in, run it through Photoshop. Invert them so it’s white on black. Run it throug some filters like gausian blur and neon glow, maybe a little colorization on the filter menu to give it that blue tint. Then, import everything into flash, put them in order and maybe play with some of the alpha/brightness settings to make it appear to disappear. It’s not too hard, but really time consuming. And being a good ‘on paper’ artist helps to. Because that particular effect only lasted about a third of a second, I would imaging it’s probably only 5 to 8 frames/drawings/pictures. That’s the way I’d do it.
ok, would that work in Fireworks MX, because i prefer using that for stuff which uses effects.
Cheers.
Yes.
