Flash?

[>flashl!ght<]

I'm pretty new around FK, but seeing as Flash is sort of the central theme I wonder if you guys ever have Flash battles? If not, think it would work? Sounds fun to me: create a theme, perhaps with a purpose(ex. not just "flower" but maybe "flower transitions" or "flower navigation" so they might inspire practical applications), then you throw the FLA around and see what comes out. Or just plain old battling where everyone makes their own Flash stuff based on a theme and previous volley.

Thoughts?

I actually thought of the same idea and got some responses. Check out Flash Project Thread in the Art & Animatino forum.

why don't you make it an open battle with a 'template' that everyone uses - that might get people to jump on without a massive commitment. something like an .fla with 3 vector objects already in it (a tree, a face, and a snowflake), and each participant has to use those 3 elements in a movie. or make the template have the same scene (a city, a beach, underwater) that each participant must use. no matter what it is, sounds fun to me. set it up!

Just add whatever you want to the animation. I did not want to define, what you should do, so it is totally free.

Sounds like a winner to me

I'm in but would like to use Fireworks as well to build vectors. If that is acceptable, I'm game!!
