The Visa Memory Mapper is a web application made with Adobe Flash that lets users create an animated journey with pictures and music. I will talk about how the project was completed in seven weeks, starting with how the idea for this project came about and all the Flash work that was done through the final delivery. You’ll see some preliminary prototypes and you will learn about working with Flash and the Facebook, Flickr, Youtube and Google Maps APIs. You’ll also learn about working with Adobe AIR and FFMPEG to render dynamic flash animations to video. The presentation will also include some work with Away3D and Adobe PixelBender.
[...] Very cool Visa Memory Mapper. Would have been a total hit in the movie Elizabethtown with Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst. [...]
Hello,
Unfortunately I live about 5000 miles from L.A. otherwise I love to hear you speak about Visa Memory Mapper.
I’m especially interested in using AIR with FFMPEG because it’ll help a free little stop motion app I’ve made. So far it spits out .flv files, but schools using it would really like other formats so they can bring the videos into other programs. I’m not a natural born developer and I learned to code with AS3 so doing stuff with native extensions scares the pants off me.
If you have any tips or could point me in the right direction I’d be very grateful.
Good luck with your talk.
Cheers
Chris
