Abstract
Low Budget Videos on Heavy Rotation
Almost by accident, Flash (along with Wacom) has helped revolutionize the 2D Animation industry within five years. Low costs and the easy and direct approach on animation fueled the movement that is now known as paperless animation. Alex actually learned the basics of animation by messing around with earlier versions of Flash. In 2005 he
made his first commissioned
music videos for the pop band “ich + ich” (“du erinnerst mich an liebe”, “dienen”, “umarme mich” ).
After having success with these first pieces, many projects followed. Alex tells us how Flash helped him get started in the animation business.
