FLASH: <OT> Flash on the BigScreen.

[David Brozicevich]

This is a little OT and a little bit of a plug  but....


If you are around Zurich, Switzerland tonite you should head on down to the

Filmfluss (An open-air cinema with the screen on the other side of a river,

extremely beautiful actually!) to see possibly the worlds first 35mm film

(direct-transfer) animation made  with Macromedia's Flash4.   The cinema

commercial was made for Hiltl (www.hiltl.ch) a local vegetarian restaurant.

We used Flash as our animation platform mainly because of our time

constraints.   The small file size and the vector based animation allowed us

to work very quickly at the 24fps film standard.  The whole project from

conception to completion was done on a 48hour turn around (which is  nearly 

unheard of in the film industry!) with a team of three .  You can check

out the animation at our website.    www.eleven1.com  Though be a little

patient with the file size it's 230k :) ... I had to make the whole thing a

movie clip to scale  it into something you could see on a normal computer

monitor (i haven't had time to remake the thing properly for the web, it

would be a lot smaller)  The stage size was at a 16:9 ratio and it had to be

large enough so we wouldn't lose image quality for the film transfer.
