First off go to and on the nav bar click the agents. See how they have the animation of a person in the background? How would I go about doing that?
 
Looks like they've traced photos and just animated them. I've just started doing this myself - import a set of photos of a person in different positions, create a new layer above the photo and just trace the lines with the line or pencil tool, then delete the photo layer. You will be left with a vector image you can animate. Looks like they just took the shaded areas and used them. This way might not be the easiest way to do it but it's the only way I know at the moment. roda B-)

Ok, just went back to the site. If you double click on the ego bulletin (one of the four icons on the right of the screen) and click on "flash talk". There is a question there, animations... There is a thread going on there about it. Looks like they used Adobe Premier or After effects. The way I said to do it is the way me and a friend are doing "Character Animation" (just started) so may or may not be a good way to go for that (egomedia) FX.

Hope this helped..... roda B-)

that site's cool.. you know in the our clients section... go to, say, orb....
and click on it... and this window pops up with the pictures? how do you do that...
where you click picture two and it rotates??? and then if you click something other than those adjacent to it... it scrolls through all of them??

that music gets really tedious tho ^-^

thanks :)

Seeya!

Yes, very cool site. Pain really cause I think my site looks good then i see something like that... Oh well. As for the rotating images, Im sure someone here knows the workings of that, and you can change the music, turn it off or just turn the volume down.... Have you seen the various forms they have. Very nicley animated when they first come in! roda B-)

The site that's up at the moment (mine) is changing to a fixed size, centred site as my art get's to manipulated in the 100% setting. I have totaly redesigned it but I have not uploaded it up yet. I reckon in about 2-3 weeks it should be ready to go up so I'll do a post here to get feedback from it. Most likley keep the bar thing for my loading it is quite funky. roda B-)

Roda, the tracing...that's what I've been doing for all my artwork that I'm going to be posting soon...traced a biohazard symbol, and different things...

(It's really cool now because I did flash stuff on my desktop...when I start the computer up, it has a pause, then a teal/blue biohazard symbol rolls into the top right of my screen (from other side top left) and once it stops, it does a 2 echo thing...next I gotta add some more stuff such as an interface, so I can open explorer, etc.) ----------------------------------------

Actually, I dont work on it much, I've mainly worked on a bunch of seperate stuff just to learn, then I'm going to put it all together...no, I dont have a deadline for anything, I dont have all that much experience...and I didn't say it was going to be great either...

And the GREAT site, will just be a repository/gallery of downloadable images/animations, etc... ----------------------------------------
