My New Portable Green Screen!
I just recieved my new portable green screen from B&H Photo. It is actually reversible and is blue on the other side which is really nice. It collapses down to a nice size so it is good for travel and location stuff. Before using it I’ll have to just get the wrinkles out of it as having a smooth surface is extrememly important if you want to get a good key in After Effects. It is very reasonably priced at only $79.95. See a photo of it below. You can tell I’m pretty happy with it

Cue Point Driven FLV Effects Browser
Here’s a little app I made which allows you to choose the effect and sound effect that you want displayed when a cue point is fired. All of the effects are external FLV files generated in After Effects.

Win a Car Using Flash 8!!
Holy crap! There is a Flash design contest over at http://www.scionf8.com/flash.html where the winner takes home a new car. I’ll have to try to make some time to enter something even if it’s not that good. I’d never be able to live myself if I didn’t at least give it a shot. Go check it out and start brainstorming!

FLV Cue Pointed Golf Swing
In this little experiment I have an external FLV of a man swinging a golf club. I embedded a cue point right at the moment of impact. I then use this cue point to make my little golf ball movieclip expand.

Flash 8 Filter Animation Tutorial
I just uploaded a new tutorial at gotoAndLearn() called “Flash 8 Filter Animation” which shows how to create and animate the new filter effects in Flash 8. The finished product from the tutorial is shown below. When you mouse over the orb it animates the glow filter. This tutorial will interest both designers and coders as I show how to apply filters using both the filter panel and through Actionscript. Flash 8 player required to see the video tutorial.
