So that whole Starbucks networking system thing does actually happen occasionally. I went to Starbucks and was studying some design and development. I took a ColdFusion book with me and ended up in a conversation with a prospective freelance client.
I was still fairly new to the filed, and think I stay may be in the beginning stages of it now, 3 years later, and I found a few revelations that day. One revelation occured in a conversation about html, and it was that I wasn't as stupid and uneducated as I thought I was. As the conversation continued, the other revelation came to my while my eyes glazed over; I was, maybe, in fact, stupid and uneducated as I thought I was.
And at this time, I was still writing my contact number on the back of other peoples business cards, some how a potential job was created out of this. What the clientr asked for was a simple but sharp animation for his website. Living at my sisters at the time and working on two other projects (my portfolio site and FreakoSuave) and less than a year after getting my degree in multimedia, I was starting to think I had finally arrived. I was busy, but this took priority becuas eof the prospect it could have for future work.
He wanted a lightning effect and the orange lightining was part of his identity so I couldn't alter that or the final location of it above the name. I went for the lightning effect inside the blue sphere which was also a part of the final logo - if I remember right. I ended up creating a simple frame-by-frame animation. The animation was a 10-15 second animation.
I never got the final feedback on the project and upon a follow up later on, he had shut down the website. Who would shut down their website? (My own future had not arrived yet to assist me in my judgement).
As of today, May 29th 2009, whatI have to showcase this is some screenshots. Until I get my portfolio site live again, I couldn't upload SWF's. Or can I? I think most blogger SWF's are linked to an external location. Check back on this later for a live version. In the meantime, here's the screenshots.
