Here are some examples of Flash animations I've created for various clients, as well as some of my own fun personal projects.
Note: After seven years of freelance, I've recently accepted a full time position at an ad agency in New York. I will no longer be accepting new freelance projects for the most part. Thanks for your understanding.
Halloween party 2011 invitation
Another fun Flash invitation for my annual Halloween party, this time an undersea ball aboard the R.M.S. Albatross. Some more of my past Halloween party invitations are below. I've been doing these for about ten years.
Halloween party 2010 invitation
After a five-year hiatus while I was in France, I finally got to come back and host my huge annual Halloween party again. I whipped up this invitation in just a few days!
Covanta Energy holiday greeting
Animated holiday greeting for an energy company in New York. I created the concept and drew the storyboards, and then created all the artwork and animated the whole thing. Fun! Here's a mockup of how the animation looked on the client's homepage.
ManningKrull.com — old homepage design
My previous incarnation of this site had a Flash-based splash page, with some fun little animated details. I was shooting for a design that would show the various things I do: design, illustration, animation, etc.
Legislative scorecards for Environment NJ and PennEnvironment
I designed and built two legislative scorecards for environmental issues in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. You can check out both the NJ version and the PA version. Both of these made for some fascinating challenges in information design.
Frontier Group — State Transparency Website Scorecard
Frontier Group hired me to design and build this interactive map of the US showing state-by-state stats on transparency.
Marc Guttesman, Creative Director
I built this whole site in Flash, but a few noteworthy things from an animaton perspective are the pencil loading sequence and the intro writing animation. Fun! Also check out the video, audio, and image gallery functionalities.
Erin Downing homepage
I started off this homepage design with a big illustration, and then decided some Flash animation would add some personality and also help to draw the reader's attention to the interactive parts of the page.
Environment California — Fighting Global Warming
Environment California hired me to design and build this interactive map of the US showing state-by-state stats on reduction of cabon dioxide emissions.
Football and Poker banners
I animated these four Flash banners as part of an ad campaign for an online betting site. All of the designs explore a dot motif that was starting in their print and tv ads.
Pharmaceutical banners
I animated these banners for a pharmaceutical campaign I worked on. There are four different designs, which I was tasked with reworking at many different sizes.
Funkified birthday party invitation
I designed and animated this online invitation for a couple's joint birthday party. (All address info has been altered for this portfolio version — you're not invited!)
Aaron Cromie, Design and Performance
This website wasn't originally intended to be a Flash project, but I decided to create an image rotation sequence for the homepage, with some simple button interactivity.
Toxic Sonic Zombie Massacre! game
I did the pixel art for all the sprites (characters, items, backgrounds, etc) in this game and animated their movement cycles in Flash. My colleague Patrick Vernon did all the Flash programming for the actual gameplay.
Curses! game demo
Same as above, I created all the sprites for this game demo and animated the movement cycles in Flash. Patrick Vernon programmed the gameplay.
Halloween Party invitation — Victorian Masquerade Ball
One of many online Halloween party invitations I've created over the years. I created all of the artwork and and did all of the animation.
Halloween Party invitation — Spooky Circus!
Step Fright Up! Another online Halloween party invitation. I created all of the artwork and and did all of the animation.
Halloween Party invitation — Zombie Prom!
It's the Zombie Prom! Another online Halloween party invitation. I created all of the artwork and and did all of the animation.
Holiday Card 2008
I whipped up this simple-yet-ridiculous animated holiday card for my girlfriend and me, using a few photos of us and our lovely rabbits.
Gianna's Grille spinning globe logo
This small animation was fun and surprisingly complicated. I started with the static Gianna's Grille logo and then created the vector images for the individual frames of this spinning animation.
