Well, for the past few month’s I’ve been lucky enough to be part of the Adobe Pre-Release Beta testing program at The Visionaire Group. There was a launch party today unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend.

However I did notice I got quoted in their case study. Here’s the link to the case study on adobe.com

Well, this morning i pulled the trigger on a 5D MKII! I can’t wait to get it! AAAAH!

Finally, got around to posting some photos from the ELSE Mobile video shoot. If you didn’t see the First Else website check it out! Also Check out Rob Chiu’s work.

In the world of advertising sometimes your required to produce these wonderful 40k-30k flash ads using tons of images and fonts. I know we all get exited about those but settle down.

We can’t always import tweening engines, because even 4.7k is too much (Tweenlite). I’m not ragging on Greenshock, actually i use it myself and love it, but of course publishers wont budge on 40k. In the day’s of 56k i understand but tons of people are on broadband already! That’s a whole other discussion so without any further ado ::drumroll::, i present my simple fading function. tadddaa!

Quick & dirty AS2 fade function… (rollover to test)

Obviously you can expand on it by adding different properties but this is basic fading.
