This banner ad was built in Flash via Actionscript. It features a system that will compress an layered animation into a flat bitmap image, then break apart that image into particles in an randomly generated explosion animation. The particles are then sucked into the middle of the stage, turned into featured show images, and then funneled through a pre-plotted, programed path, while featured shows hover over the particle swarm before coming to rest at the subject’s laptop.
This was one of my more fun animations, the algorithm itself wasn’t really the challenge, however the image compression was slightly difficult to pull off due to the amount of featured shows that varied in color data.
