anybody have any thoughts about how these animations are done?.. the way the interfaces kind of build up… and then they are completely functional without a hitch… anyone know how this is set up?.. watch these two interfaces build up… > **[Shane Mielke - Personal Portfolio](https://www.shanemielke.com/)** > > Shane Seminole Mielke is an award winning Freelance Creative Director, Designer, Front-end Developer, Photographer and writer with experience in all aspects of web development. Former Creative Director at 2Advanced. [www.2advanced.com](http://www.2advanced.com) the fade ins… the blinks… how do you pull off these smooth transitions and keep file size down?.. and furthermore… how do you pull off the transitions to begin with?.. if i could understand how to do these things… man o’ man… i’d be dangerous… ---

the effect is present in the 2advanced site… the way the interface loads is rather similar to pixelranger… one of the obvious reasons being that shane (pixelranger) works for 2advanced studios… anyone else have any comments?.. ---

Oasis, all these sites that you’re looking at are basically using fancy motion tweens and shape tweens. You can only learn about these things through experimentation. “Transitions” are just something you’ll have to come up for yourself. The transitions I come up with are done through messing around with flash or trying to duplicate something I see on the internet.
