Papervision3D + Tweener + After FX = wowzers!

Excuse the silly title, I just wanted to grab your attention and proudly announce that my company's new website is finally finished, www.sandmanstudios.com! Sandman Studios is a full-service creative agency specializing in CG Animation, Visual Effects Production, and Interactive Multimedia.


We had a lot of big ideas of what we wanted to put into the new site and we have a lot more cool things in store, but for the time frame we had to work with, I think we did a great job on phase one of it. We used Papervision 3D on several project detail pages. For example, check out the Papervision 3D in this project called, "The Terrible Tooth". Also, I used Tweener extensively throughout the site. We used After FX in a lot of places, like in the Gorilla animation we did for the LA Zoo.

Not only did we create an amazing website, we also built a custom content management system in Flex to manage it. Which, I am now regretting because my boss wants us to create these for every site we do now. We used AMF PHP for the Flash to database communication. Which made it possible for us to get the CMS up and running in a few days. We also use SWFAddress for the deep linking.


It was nice to work on something for ourselves for once. Even though we were our own client, I think we all realize that even we don't know what we want until we see it.
