What started as an exercise in database sanitizing, wound up a stop animation movie done in photoshop. This project illustrates well the dangers of setting one’s goals beyond what is feasible. Originally I had intended to export an Excel database into XML so that I could put a Flash interface on it. That didn’t work out. Then I figured I would put the interface up on a dummy set of data. But when I found myself putting Actionscript on a button inside a movie clip inside a button, where there were going to be a trillion different combinations by the time I was going to be finished with it, I gave up and decided to go with something I could actually achieve by the deadline. More on what I was trying to do with this in a later post, for now, I give you, a (sigh) failed visualization.Mad MAD Project
