Hi Eriq and all,

I know a lot of designers that aim for ugly :)

Not quite true.

This piece was originally made for Real Video and converted to regular

Flash. It has not been optimized for Flash. Note Real Video and Flash

both stream but in Flash you need to calculate the frame that needs to

be loaded to ensure streaming at a specified Web rate (I usually aim for

20,000 bits per second). In Flash you must manually insert the

Wait-for-frame so that Flash will begin playing when the frame you

calculated has been loaded. If created or updated to Flash then you can

also include a PreLoad sequence.

I agree and if this was created and optimized for full screen (Flash)

then this would be a great pice of Web art. Unfortunately the small size

reduces its impact much as watching a a movie on TV compared to seeing

it at the cinema.


> Pity some can't appreciate the simplicity and "artsiness" of it.

This would indeed be a boring world if everyone saw things the same way.


> Kudos to the designer.

On this we agree totally.
