This is the first part of what will eventually become a flash animation called "Laudanum Theater"

Comments, critiques welcome.

little early for a critique but I like the lay out.

Oh. And I meant to point out, that if you click on it , it gets bigger. Go ahead.. click it.

It haz a nice look & name!

looks really good, always glad to see work done where people aren't afraid of texture. (I'm a texture nut).

Where did you get the images? What programs do you use? Just flash?

My husband is in a flash class right now. Hoping he can pick it up so I won't have to learn it.

The lady and the butterfly are form Dover archive books. The background is a montage of a scan of a blank page from an old paperback book and a scan of an antique bank book. All the other elements and text were created in Fireworks. The whole image was constructed and manipulated in Fireworks.

I'll just be using flash to animate transitions between this and other collage work from the series as well as adding stream of consciousness verse and ambient music.

I keep old books for that very reason. Although I'm a Photoshop girl, my hubby is all into some macromedia. He seems to really like fireworks and dreamweaver. I guess it's mainly what your output is going to be.

Oh and one day I googled for a "brown paper bag" because I didn't have one scanned (and no scanner at home) and found some intersting sites. like http://www.airsicknessbags.com. Rather useless link maybe, but I've used it a few times.

Please post when you get done. I'm really curious to see where it will go.
