Really good session if you are into the more creative side of CS4. Think creating art and you are well on your way. Unfortunately I can’t see how I can use this in my workflow. Still interesting though.

Currently watching Carlos dissecting his current project. Inspirational 3D stuff. More in detail later

Every year the CRD (creative research and development) team at AKQA goes on a summit. 2 years ago it was in Sweden, last year it was on a boat off englands coast and this year it’s in Oslo.

I feel very optimistic about this trip because we have had a lot of discussions about our team in the past couple of weeks. If just 10% of the things we want to do come true it will still have a big impact.

I’ll be back on Sunday for a good nights sleep before heading down to Brighton on Monday

OMG this site is brilliant. Aestetically pleasing and fun. Not really a game…more like a strange cartoon. The site is currently featured on theFWA and its refreshing to see a site up there that is more about animation / illustration than the average campaign site / corporate site. Well Done.

The company I work for (AKQA) managed to cough up a couple of conference tickets for this years FOTB in Brighton. Since our team has grown so big, we are just below the 20, not everybody can expect to go. I guess I was lucky this time so on monday i will make my way down to Brighton.

Last time I went to a flash conference I was working for Framfab. It was 2005 and the conference was Flash Forward in New York. All in all that was a great trip and a great conference. I got my first “wow what a community” kinda feeling when I realized that there are so many developers out there who do the same thing as me (although much better…at the time).

I don’t remember all the sessions I saw or all the presenters but I do remember a fair bit. I also remember two London developers coming in too late for a panel discussion because they had been out partying the night before…was it Tink?

This year I will try and catch the sessions by Carlos Ulloa, Mike Jones, Mark Anders, Tink and Erik Natzke. These are all sessions on Monday which is the only day I will be attending unfortunately. There was an internal battle in our team where everyone wanted to do the wednesday sessions.

Hopefully I can blog live from the conference but I would have to borrow a laptop from work to do that. Stay tuned

You gotta check this spider out. A bit of 3D, IK and Flash and this is what you get. You cant really do much but as a proof of concept this is very well executed. Well done Tomas
