The Project
Animation Solution
This was my breakout project where I got a chance to show my worth to the department. Up to this point I think I did what was expected; this allowed me to test the boundaries of what they wanted from me.
I used a text application that helped animate the text SWFs that were then imported as keyframes and synchronized to the music. I implemented a number of masking techniques to blend the text animation.
Executives were excited about this animation and it became the most often leveraged for client projects. This and a few others set the mold for new and fun animations. I devised several options for replay and exit buttons.
