Porres.com – Eric's Humble Place in Cyberspace

Yep…while listening to SomaFM’s Groove Salad today, I came across a song called “You Make Me Feel” by Mike Milosh.  Great station, and great tune.  Anyway, I hopped over to iTunes to listen to some previews of other songs on the Milosh album, started to read reviews, and one review referenced a dynamic video of the song.  “Dynamic video?” I asked myself, and so I found the following site which has the video.  Here’s an excerpt from the folks who developed the video (Flash):

Design of the Video
The Video consists of 4 autonomous modules.

The color of the background, the animation of the ornaments/flowers and the animation of the mask, that uncover the pictures are basic elements. They are always different but the basic animation is always there. Depending on the weather situation there are additional animations of snow, rain or pollen and clouds. All the visualisations are artistically and graphically composited. There is no intention to simulate reality.

All modules exist of dynamically replaceable objects, whose properties, like scale or position, change permanently. All movements are programmed; there is no static animation.

Anyway, this absolutely blew my mind, for it (and this was done in 2005 folks!) represents how online experiences can be beautiful creations in and of themselves, and distanced from the limitations inherent in broadcast television commercial production.
