Hong Sungin used Flash, Photoshop, After Effects and SketchUp in the production of his 4-minute student short Mutant. A few years back, Sungin attended Sangmyung University in Seoul, South Korea, and he’s now working at INNOIZ Interactive. We don’t often see full-on manga-style animation produced in Flash, and it’s pretty refreshing.

Adam Phillips, the mastermind behind the Brackenwood saga, is getting set to release his Daskin game (which he created along with Sean McGee). Below you’ll see the opening cinematic for the game, and soon you’ll be able to play it for free at bitey.com. Phillips used Toon Boom Animate Pro to create the animated elements. In the final freeze-frame shot, most of you will spot the game’s title, but it is laid in there subtly.

Back in 2009, Comedy Central announced that they were developing a new animated series “featuring “30 Rock” star Judah Friedlander as a wacked out gypsy cab driver whose great ambition in life is to top everyone around him.” It was created by comedian Jordan Rubin and co-developed by Six Point Harness Studios. Gypsy Cab never made it out of development, but some development animation was produced. Here’s two segments that Rubin recently unveiled:

Adam Phillips, who is nearly finished with his game, Dashkin, which now has a sponsor. He’s producing the art assets in ToonBoom Animate Pro, and exporting SWFs into Flash. Sponsor contracts are being drawn up for this pairing, and in the meantime, Phillips found time to produce a music video for Cilla Jane, a Melbourne-based independent singer/songwriter. You’ll recognize Phillips’ signature style, but we’re introduced to a few new characters in this video, which was also produced in using ToonBoom. The track is titled Into the Woods, which you can buy on iTunes.

Here’s a cool application of Flash animation – urban projection. This piece was directed for MTV Brazil by vjsuave, who had help on the animation front from Dante Zaballa.
