John Cole – Adobe, HTML5 and Flash
Event posted on Jan 31 by film oxford

21 February meeting – John Cole – Adobe, HTML5 and Flash (yes, meetings are still on Third Thursdays)

The John Cole Lecture
The HTML 5 standard has been embraced for its ability to add complex interaction, videos and animations to web pages without the need for plugins. This allows web browsers to natively support rich media that was previously only possible by utilizing Flash or similar technologies. How are developers, designers and animators reacting to this and what tools are available to fill the gap.

John Cole, Digital Media Manager at Adobe Systems UK, discusses the impact of the new standard on their productivity tools. He has been responsible for various web design and development roles. Currently he is responsible for digital media across Northern Europe and works out of Adobe’s UK headquarters at Maidenhead.

We ask him what is the future of Flash? Why is it still a primary choice for online games and media players? How does Adobe’s new product Edge provide a rich media solution? and what should we expect of this in the future?

Join us for a lively debate, a demonstration of Adobe Edge, other Adobe HTML 5 solutions and if that’s not enough a chance to win thousands of dollars worth of Adobe software.

Quick Character Motion in Flash
Jim Gwilliam, a sometime animator and film maker in Oxford. He also moonlights doing games.
 

Flash has got excellent motion capabilies to make character animation quick and easy to do, making it the firm favourite of people like me with dubious quantities of talent.
The idea is to show people how to get a walking character movement created quickly in Flash, using just simple motion animation - no coding or other voodoo.
I'm going illustrate how the basic motion tweening in Flash can be used to get characters moving realistically in a short time, so you can get on with the important business of drawing silly faces and hats and laser guns on them.
