Allow me to direct your attention to the Far Sector site. The banner-sized Flash ani on top of the page represents a satisfying artistic collaboration between myself and Surfpig, aka Duncan Reid. This little project grew out of an idea I floated here a few weeks ago. I'm delighted with the way it has turned out. Basically Duncan animated the little Poser guy to my specs. I supplied most of the elements of the sound track and background art in a Flash file or two. The background was originally created in Photoshop, but to cut down the bytes I re-created most of it in Flash using the gradient tool. One or two elements were imported as transparent GIFs from Photoshop. I created the little green guy in Poser and sent the character file to Duncan, who then animated the tip-toe. Originally I had thought the little guy would run on, but Duncan suggested the tip-toe, which I think works better.

Again, please do go take a look and let us know what you think. I intend on doing more such animated files for Far Sector, perhaps using other people here as resources.

Thanks!
