After Effects compositing is nice, but I’ll miss seeing how far people could push just Flash on its own and seeing the insane stuff people crammed into individual .swf files. I remember thinking that one really dramatically lit shot in Peck was comped in AE and was super surprised and impressed to learn you did that all within Animate and how you did it. Another one that’s just insane is CatFat fitting his entire GTA V cartoon into a 50 MB .swf, animated backgrounds and all. I also miss people going all out on Flash motion tweens, some people like TmsT and Max G are keeping that alive though.
Anyway loved hearing you talk about this, I found it very relatable to my own nostalgia for this type of stuff. And of course fantastic visuals, was really fun poking around the .fla too.
