Using Obadiah Parker’s cover of Outkast’s “Hey Ya”, I made this Adobe Flash typography animation.

It was inspired by animations like The Hush Sound’s “Lion’s Roar”, and movie scene animations like those for Pulp Fiction and Ocean’s Eleven.

It was a very fun exercise in freestyle Flash animation and linear timeline tweening (which was a nice change from my specialty: programmatic animation (though, I used some programming in the later scenes of this video).

I rendered the output to a video to be easier for people to view, and to save some bandwidth.

Feel free to let me know what you think of the video: brian@shaler.name

I may consider releasing the source FLA for this, depending on the amount and nature of the feedback I receive.
