Pyramid Plane (1.5MB)

This one minute animation was the first I tried in Flash. I'd previously done some After Effects effects animations and composites, and before that as a teenager I'd done some Super-8 stop-frame animations with my brother. There's not much of story: a robot figure flies a biplane over Egypt, is shot down over a surreal landscape and crashes into the sea, whereupon he shows he needn't have been in a plane at all by flying from underwater into space in one go...

The Egyptian landscapes are based on my original photos, scanned and bitmap-traced. The surreal oceanscape, the island , the underwater space and the robot were all built in Bryce 2.
