Full Browser Flash with changing background color and automatic scrollbars

Bowen and Company website, design by Florio Design

I finished a Flash animation for a client in which the background color of the movie fades from brown to white. The client liked it but decided that he would like the background of the browser (behind the embedded Flash movie) to change as well.

I figured the best solution would be to make the Flash movie full browser. So here is the solution that I came up with:

Xanadu nominated for 4 Tonys, site by Curious Minds

Xanadu, the surprise hit broadway musical, has just been nominated for 4 Tony Awards, including Best New Musical. It also recently won the Outer Critic’s Circle Award for Best New Musical. The website for Xanadu was recently redesigned and built by Curious Minds. This full-screen Flash site aims to recreate the fun and vibrant feel of the show, and features video and music from the production.

The Farnsworth Invention Opening Night

Last night we went out to the opening of the Farnsworth Invention, a dramatization of the struggle of Philo Farnsworth, one of the co-inventors of modern television. The show was excellent, and it was pretty cool to see such a tech heavy subject as the source of a play. Fans of the play should definitely take the time to check out the real story behind the inventor. I mean just check out the Fusor. I’m almost itching to build one as I write this!

After Hours AfterEffects vs. Flash

 

Client: We need an animated e-vite (anything with an “e” in front of it is cringe-worthy…Especially if it comes from Manhattan. ) It’s got to have flashy lights, multiple layers of complex animation, and an extremely unoffensive trance-hop loop. Oh, and did we mention that we need it done in the next 48 hours?
