So what happened over the last half year? A lot of work happened.
For Lego a hand full of EXO-FORCE comics, some design work for the AquaRaiders site and a redesign of Lego City to fit the new template pages for lego.com. It has been great to do more design work and less actionscript in some of these projects. I made one good oldschool feature come alive in the City site header. Setting the skyline animation to match the time on the users machine. The feedback has been great, it brings life to the site and supports the theme. It makes me smile because since the date object was introduced back in Flash 5, this was the first kind of ideas we all had back then. Yet it should take me so many years before it came in handy to apply.

I will be showing some installation based on my 06RD project at the new London Flash platform user group on the 24th of August. Thanks to Tink for making this possible.

If you have a webcam and a microphone you can try this online demo, make some noise to generate a flower using stills from your cam.

I did the code and xml for the TOA INIKA characters. The next update for this will feature video for each TOA as well but what I already like about it is Eric’s 3D work and the sound engine that I did in order to make a more real feeling of thunder, rain and ambience.

Just did a design research project at my college. I chose to get on with some microphone and webcam experiments.
The idea was to make some kind of app where users generate some abstract audio visual content. The logic is similar to a guestbook but the input is more crazy than the normal name, subject, message format.
The first file was a test on sound recording and using the values to manipulate a graphic object in this case just a simple circle.
When Flash 8 was released I remember doing some files on capturing still images from a movieclip and then I wondered of to do other things.. But for this idea of user generated graphics this issue pops up again when using a webcam. I think Craig Swann showed something like this at OFFF but anyway I made some testing on crapping stills from the camera over time. The this version is taking 20 pixel chunks.
This all leads to a file where I try to combine the different components in order to generate a flower from sound or math and images (captured from webcam over time).
Anyway try it here
Also got a full project page here and some screenshots taken from a demo for some friends.
The future for this project is a series of installations where projecting the piece on to walls around London at night as a visual comment about CCTV.

In December 2005 I have been working for LEGO on some of the new BIONICLE products to launch on lego.com
I did motion design, actionscript and xml for the Piraka profiles
