Flash in the News
Studiodaily.com, a web portal “dedicated to helping film and video pros evolve in their crafts,” recently featured a couple Flash Masters familiar to CHF. Last week was Silvia Pompei, the documentary director behind Flash Goes to Hollywood, the seminal Flash animation documentary. But she’s not only a filmmaker. Sylvia is an experienced Flash animator, and some of her work is on display at studiodaily.com in the form of a Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends TV spot. Sylvia is currently working on The Simpsons feature film at Starz Animation-Film Roman.
This week, studiodaily.com focused on Dave Wolfe, an animator who works at Animax Entertainment in Culver City. He’s the same Dave Wolfe from the CHF Message Boards, who doles out amazing JSFL plug-ins and work-flow tips. He’s surely one of the rising stars in the Flash animation world. Below is an example of some of Dave’s work – Slammo and Sloshi, a project for AOL.
The article mentions one Flash-animated series I hadn’t heard of – Rintindumb (Rantanplan in France). It’s a Flash-animated series out of Xilam, the French team behind Shuriken School.

Slammo and Sloshy looks cool, and hey…color me French-Canadian, but RinTinDumb kinda looks like Lucky Luke’s pet pooch, or am I high on the fumes from the Tenacious-D Soundtest?

Sad that there is absolutely no credit given to the animators that actually bring those characters to life. That’s the “Flash” part.
