Complete
Websites: You can use Flash animation to
build a fully functioning website that more greatly enriches
your visitors' experience than any HTML-only based site
can.
Website Enhancements:
Flash animation can add a lot of interest to your web site
through the use of an intro, interactive menus, animated
logos, banners, demos and
presentations.
Banners: Use Flash
animation to create banner ads that prospects will want
to click.
Dual Purpose Animations:
On and/or Off the Web Presentations and Demos: Flash is
excellent for creating amazing mini-movies for product and
service promotion or demos, or an unforgettable corporate
overview. A demo can be used as a web animation on your
website, or stand-alone movie on a plasma or PC monitor
for a trade show.
CD Business Cards:
Leave behind your contact information with an impressive
corporate presentation that includes your value proposition
to customers, describes and illustrates your products and
services, and includes a link to your website.
Animated Logos:
Ravigraphix your logo with a clever animation. Render your
logo in 3-d. Apply your animated logo in different resolution
clips for your web site, multimedia presentations, and office
screensavers.
Flash Animation an Industry Standard
An industry standard, Flash animation is today the most
widely used multimedia authoring tool for creating fully
interactive, real-time animations both on and off the Web.
You can accomplish the most amazing animations with Flash
without creating huge files that take forever to download
or strain the limits of your PC. Flash animations have very
low bandwidth requirements compared to that required for
animated GIF's, Quick Time movies, or even Shockwave Director
technology.
The Technology behind Flash Animation
Flash animation achieves the low file size by using vector
art instead of the bit-mapped art as utilized in Shockwave
and animated GIF's. Vector art uses geometry to define shapes
and colors; bitmapped art is defined by coloring each individual
pixel (represented by a group of data bits) in a user-defined
fixed sized matrix (often called a "raster").
Programs such as Photoshop, Painter, and your scanner software
use bitmap graphics.
As web animations, Flash animation works on all operating
systems and can be viewed with the Flash or Shockwave plug-in
or through JAVA- playback and Active X if you don't have
the plug-in. Macromedia estimates that 98% of people on
the web have the Flash plug to view Flash animation. Standalone
Flash demos and presentations are exported so that they
do not need any special software to be viewed.
The Flash Animation Design Process
1. We chat with you and gather materials; also to find out
where and how you plan to use the final product.
2. To help you visualize the final product, a storyboard
is created with text and suggestions for use of image animations,
and possibly audio, music, 3-D animation, video, etc.
3. Once you approve the storyboard, we do some non- animated
graphic renderings for you to review. After you
approve the picture renderings, the storyboard is brought
to life with Flash animation.
4. After any additional tweaking you may require, you are
ready to unveil your Flash Animation.
