Flash on the Beach Ronin Sequence

Robert Chiu, aka the Ronin, has created an awesome motion graphics sequence for Flash on the Beach. I love this kind of stuff and I think it is an amazing piece of work. This is as close as I’ll ever come to feeling like I’m in a movie. Check out the video below. You can also view it on YouTube if you prefer.

  10. sam says:

    That was great! Any idea of what software was utilized? (for compositing, editing, the 3D elements etc.)

  11. Paul Trani says:

    That is so sweet! Wish I would have thought of it!

  12. lee says:

    @sam:
    the letters are real ;) robert spoke about them at fotb…
    apart from that i think he said that he used ae for the composing…

    @lee:
    thanks for uploading and for your inspiring words at fotb. it was great to have you seen live, thanks lee. will you post a fotb roundup?

  15. Edward McIntyre says:

    Awesome! Thanks for sharing lee, and nice handstand! ;) I will make t there one day.

  16. Zwolu says:

    Great movie! Realy, great.

  17. Ola says:

    Awsome movie indeed, and it was nice to see you there in Brighton Lee. Was a good conference.

  18. Spin-VR says:

    Very nice video. I love shorts with the style like this, very dramatic and atmospheric. Love it.

  19. Matt says:

    Love the lighting! The music is superb aswell.

  20. Ming says:

    wow, are those letters real or after effects?

    FOTB was awesome this year, so inspiring that I decided to start my own blog to review the 3 days.. http://flashming.wordpress.com/

  21. I would assume After Effects. Perhaps a 3D program like Max or Maya was used for the letters, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were all done in AE.

  22. Gromit says:

    Hey Lee, I caught Rob’s talk at FOTB and became an instant fan so thanks for posting that.

    I caught your talk too and left completely inspired…along with a strange urge to travel to Birmingham in November! lol.

    I wanted to come up and shake your hand at the end, but couldn’t get near you for well-wishers, so consider this a virtual handshake. Cheers for making my flash life easier and inspiring me to learn more.

  23. Leon says:

    Flash on the beach was amazing, well enjoyed the day. Rob Chiu talk was great.
    Jonathan Harris made me think of shit I had never thought of in my life and everything else
    was wicked. Thanks, Leon

  24. chris says:

    You finally made it to the big leagues Lee, congrats! The video is really well done. Thanks for your continued hard work and tutorials. You are definitely one of my top resources to keep up-to-date.

  25. Very cool indeed. It is so annoying that I couldn’t go to FOTB.

  26. Ben says:

    This looks cool… :)

  27. Matt Lewis says:

    Awesome movie, liked it a lot. My applause to Ronin and the rest of the Flash on the Beach team.

  28. Dan says:
