Flash Design:
Socal Media Productions can build you a fully functioning Flash animation site such as espanada, or perhaps can add some Flash enhancements to your site that will dramatically increase your viewers attention and response rates to your site. Flash is an exciting way to make a web intro, menu, or advertisement more dynamic and eye-catching. Making it more stimulating to the user, flash ensures that customers will stay and linger a little longer. Eye-catching interactivity, motion graphics and text give websites that "little extra something" making it memorable and perhaps even worthy of being placed in your "favorites" folder in the coveted COOL WEBSITES folder.
What is Flash:
Flash is an authoring tool for animated multimedia both on and off the web. It is today the most widely accepted technology for creating fully interactive real- time animation's on the Web.
Flash animation is not for every web site, but for customers with faster Internet connections the razzle dazzle can be very impressive. We will help you in determining if Flash is in the best interests of your customers. We can also implement different degrees of Flash animation such as, full Flash sites, partial or minimal animation.
More than just web sites:
Flash can be used to make simple animated banners, graphics, entire web sites or just navigation systems. The developer of this product, Macromedia, has designed Flash to work on all operating systems and has designed it to play with the Flash or Shockwave plug-in or through JAVA- playback and Active X if you don't have the plug-in. Macromedia estimates that 98% of people on the web have the Flash plug in to view sites.
Introduction (or "intro" for short) is a little movie that is placed on your website's home page, containing stimulating graphics or animation, used to create a strong first impression and set a stylistic tone for a web site. And it is probably the most widely used application of flash technology. You never get a second chance to make a first impression - and first impressions can make a difference. Flash intro-page introduces your site, and in the contemporary visual way gives the idea of what your company is. That is why it's important to take the same care and effort with the design of a flash intro page as you do with the rest of your site.
Sound can easily be downloaded and played using a flash tool so users can listen to music when they are surfing your site. This is a common practice with retail stores but it has not been easily accomplish on the net do to connetivity speeds. With flash you are able to supply the user with music, if they choose, without clogging their internet pipeline.
Interactivity and animation now have an evironment where they can function together in harmony. This works extremely well in navigation systems. You cna give the user a design to interact with which also animate according to thier choices. This allows a smooth, aesthetically pleasing transition between the pages of information you provide to them.
