		<title>growth</title>

Here&#8217;s a clip from my in-progress animated documentary. This sequence deals with the implications of exponential growth on a finite planet:


The voice is temporary, and will be replaced with a human narrator when the script is finalised.
The animation was done in Flash, with the exception of the spherical scene, where the doubling square is mapped [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s a nice scene from the soon to be released film &#8220;The Age of Stupid&#8221;:


It looks like they used After Effects for a lot of the character animation, as best as I can tell. Not sure if I see any Flash here. And a lot of 3D for the final spot.

		<title>john k: wheat from chaff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In my previous post, I cited some excellent posts by John Kricfalusi on the subject of writing in animation. The problem with JK&#8217;s posts is separating the wheat from the chaff. In the comments to that piece, I mentioned the issue of &#8220;signal to noise&#8221; on his blog.
Here&#8217;s an exampe. John makes the assertion that [...]]]></description>

		<title>animators vs. &#8220;producers&#8221; &#038; &#8220;writers&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Over the years, animators have increasingly come to be seen as &#8220;wrists&#8221;. Monkeys chained to their desks, tap tap tapping away for their superiors - the writers and producers who deem themselves the true &#8220;creatives&#8221;.
Newsflash: holding a bag of money or a position of power on the greasy pole makes you many things. Creative, alas, [...]]]></description>

OK; you need to hire an animation studio to bring your animated property to life. Before you start, there are some basic suggestions that you may need to consider:
1. If you&#8217;re going to design fully realistic detailed human characters for a Flash project, don&#8217;t be surprised when the final animation doesn&#8217;t look like the Esurance [...]]]></description>

		<title>richard williams &#038; walks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I got into animation in 1988 - fortunately, Don Bluth had recently set up his animation studio in Dublin around 1986; otherwise there would have been no way to enter the profession. One of the major inspirations at the time was &#8220;Who Framed Roger Rabbit&#8221; (1988).
