Just hilarious. Brilliant stuff

After Effects - Something I really should to get into

I was at a lecture from Mark Swaine the Creative Director of Squire today which proved to be an excellent and informative class.

One thing I came away with though was a feeling that I should really delve into AfterEffects a lot more. I’ve messed around with it but Mark says that he loves using Flash and AfterEffects and, although it might sound a bit stupid, that was a combination I can’t say I’ve ever thought of using before.

He showed us how they can be combined to make some truly dazzling websites and videos. Granted, these companies have big budgets and years of experience under their belts but this stuff is just awesome.

Ford Mustang Website

And the absolutely hilarious Viral Site for the Pomegranate Phone.

There is no reason not to give it more of a go seeing as there is more than enough tutorial sites to help get started such as;

If anyone has any relevant sites to share be sure to comment.

I hate my theme

Sean Smyth — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:43:07 +0000

Two of my friends (@rosmad being one) were looking at my site today while I was beside them and I was embarrassed by the theme. You know, it’s not even good and it was chosen because of a “it’ll do for now” kind of attitude.

I mean seriously, who likes half naked ladies?! I know I don’t but I’ll leave an image of the header photo in this post as a keep safe……

Buh bye crap theme!

New theme is called Notepad Chaos and can be downloaded free from SmashingMagazine.

A Facebook Question

Hey all, hopefully someone can help me.

I’ve a blog for a project I’m working on and I’ve a Facebook Page for the same. I’ve no problem displaying the blog posts on the FaceBook page’s wall, it’s the next step that’s gettin’ me.

I want the fans of my FB page to be able to see the latest update on their home wall’s. It’s nothing new. Lamebook.com and Komplett.ie both do it but I don’t see how they are doing it either.

Google didn’t yield anything for me and it’s something that’d be very handy.

Thanks, Sean
