FLASH: RE: metagraphx

[Jason .]

George...  

I enjoyed your Flash movie.  It has a nice gentle moodiness to it.  I 

would speed things quite up a bit and make phrases appear together,  so 

the viewer isn't made to read one word at a time, waiting for the next 

word to appear.  (I've been experimenting with elegant ways to make type 

appear.  My favorite technique is to put the type on a layer that masks 

a rectangle on the layer just below it.  The rectangle is maybe twice as 

wide as the type and filled with a gradient that goes from the 

background color on the right to the intended type color on the left.  

Then I animate the rectangle to move from left to right beneath  the 

mask, so the type sort of fades in to a nice effect.)  Also I think I 

remember at least one instance of the type overlapping the imagery in an 

unpleasant way... maybe just keep them seperate.  One the screen with 

the woman's arm, you should open the Streamline file and recolor her 

hand a color closer to that of her arm, because presently it looks 

slightly disconnected.  Nice work overall.  I hope this is helpful.       

...Jason
