Calling all Melbourne flash developers, potential job opportunity!

Posted by Gerkinman - March 29th, 2011


Sooooo, im working in a new job, making banner ads like I was a number of years ago before the gfc hit. It pays well (better then TV animation according to one employee who recently fell into the job after the local TV animation well ran dry) and they are currently looking for animators to start in the coming months, so anyone in the Melbourne area that wouldn't mind putting there flash skills to good use send me a PM with some examples of your work and then I can pass on your details to my employer.

Now that I have that out of the way, heres some boring updates about my flash work.

I plan on having The Telescope finished and released within the next 2 months. Fingers crossed I get it done in time. I also plan on entering it into the Melbourne Animation Festival next year.

When The Telescope is finished I plan on reverting back to key frame only animation, this is after discussing my work with a number of both professional, and hobbyist animators. The current message I seem to be hearing most is that my key poses are strong and that Spaceman Bobs Time Apple is my strongest work to date. Apparently by adding in in betweens I loose something, and that keeping everything as just keys really separates my work from other artists and animators with similar styles.

Im also working on a collab that should be fun and something a little different from me. Less like Cock Joke Solid and more like something that isn't like Cock Joke Solid.

And im also planning a couple of little loops, mostly done during my lunch breaks at work.

Also I have an incoming Illustration, would like it finished before Friday.

Here, have a doodle from said collabs character design.

Any chance of outsourcing over the net to those aussies that aren't in Melbourne haha.

I need some money :(

Sadly no, this is a question I asked them before I moved to Melbourne. I believe they have had some bad experiences with out sourcing in the past.

Please don't use Filters...
Flash has a bad enough rep as it is, Flash banners that use any kind of filtering make me cry BLOOD.
