Friends and Partners

Bad Monkey Studios
My friend and fellow alumni Mark runs his flash animation studio out of San Francisco. Known for his creative, sometimes shocking, politically-oriented Flash animations.

Blue Tiburon Productions
BJ and I have worked together and collaborated on several videos. He is a talented director with cool ideas and is always working on the "next big thing".

Creative Sparx Studios
Eric specializes in digital backdrops. He's taken a simple idea and through hard work and broad vision turned it into a growing empire.

The Ten Pound Factor
Another alumni, Ryan is a graphic designer working for Ernst & Young in Atlanta. On the side he works on albums with his brother in which he writes, sings and plays guitar with his brother on drums. As if that isn't enough he decided to learn the keyboard as well.

Inspiration

Hillman Curtis
Over ten years ago, as the web was just beginning to explode, I looked for a way to break out of the boring world of retail advertising print design. I bought Hillman's first book Flash Web Design and learned how to master the new animation software. Today I make my living using Flash. About a year ago a friend invited me to hear him speak at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in D.C. I hadn't heard his name in years. I attended his lecture where he explained he had left flash and the web and was now focusing on video for the web. Just like his first book, very inspiring. His website is essentially an archive of brilliance.

Brainchild of Flash prodigy Eric Jordan. Consistently at the forefront of Flash website design. Each time a new version of the site comes out I get a headache, but its the good kind.
