Girlhack Work In Progress


Girlhack Work in Progress from Brittney Lee on Vimeo.
I just realized that I never posted any of my artwork from this project. My good friend Meg came to me (nearly two years ago now!) with the idea of doing a video podcast for all things geeky, techie, and girlie. She asked me if I would like to animate the opening, and ofcourse I said yes. We have both been super busy since then, but I managed to get the opening for "Girlhack"near completion a while back. Since it is a Flash swf exported as a quicktime movie, there are some dropped frames and compression problems at the moment. But not to worry! I ran in to similar problems while creating the landing page video for Whirled and know what to do to fix these issues, but it is a pretty time consuming process and I just decided that it is fine as is for now. There is also one background missing, so when you see it just pretend that it is a huge shopping mall :)

On a bit of a sad note, I am no longer a Three Rings employee as of yesterday. Times are tough, and even totally awesome game studios are feeling the pinch. I wish all who are still aboard the Nautilus the very best. And hopefully this means that I will be posting more frequently, at least for the time being...

Happy Thursday everyone!

  8. this is frickin' sweet! i used to be in love with the e-surance chick, but she has now been reduced to the cheese that's left in the bottom of a taco bell wrapper after finishing a really good gordita. this is definitely the gordita.

  9. How do you fix the dropped frames issue? I usually import the SWF file into after effects and that seems to work, just wondering how you do it.

  10. Jake, as a fan of Taco Bell and a fan of cheese, I resent your remark about the bottom wrapper cheese shreds(or BWCS as i call it) as being something less desirable. Granted I do believe that Erin Esurance is rubish compared to this new Flash Diva, but I don't think it's fair to drag BWCS through the mud. It is the part of my meal that I look forward to the most. It is what makes my enjoyment last that extra bit longer when my gordita is long gone.

  11. Wow you are an amazing animator. I really love that video. Nice work.

    Sorry to hear about Three Rings. I noticed that Bill R. commented that he got laid off too. How many people did they let go? All artists?
