Finished up a corny little animation for a school project the other day. Had the idea of creating an e-card that displays a message in lights on the surface of a planet viewed through a telescope, though I wasn't able to create a custom message input in time for the deadline. So I settled with "miss you". Even though the animation itself comes off as a little simple, and was clearly done by a beginner, I was pleased at the way the alpha channeled .png layers of clouds, stars and planets interacted with each other in the rendered output of the .swf.
Watch it here.
NOTE: the zoom at the end of the first scene sometimes breaks into a seizure-inducing loop that doesn't end for 5 or more cycles. I think this may have something to do with my pre-loader being broken. I'll fix it when I have a second. Until then, just give the flash a minute or so to load at the title screen before pressing the start button.
This is really good, Spence. So cute. I'd totally send this as an e-card. I wish we could have seen everybody's finished projects.
