Omega Airlines Safety Features

Dear Blog,

Sorry for neglecting you for so long. My April in Los Angeles was swept away in a torrent of existential despair. Then I went to Chicago for a month and worked on this movie and almost accidentally burned someone's house down. Now I'm back in California. I've moved to Burbank and am attending a 14 month program for digital editing called "Video Symphony." An outdated newsletter from when the school first opened revealed to me that it was once called "Video Symphony Entertraining." Now it's just referred to as "Video Symphony."

The point is that if they can identify and correct their mistakes and move forward, then so can I.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I know I've been cold to you, but believe me it's with the utmost conviction that I say I still love you dearly.

I made this animation a year ago to teach myself Flash, and then subsequently never did anything with it. I'm posting it here to mark my triumphant return to you, my blog. Enjoy.


(click on the picture to view the animation. It's 2 minutes and 30 seconds long.)

Yours until I run out of stuff to write about,

Mark

P.S. If this blog still has any human readers, let me know if that animation plays okay. One of the reasons it sat in a folder labeled "Flash Stuff" deeply nested within a bunch of other folders was that it took me a really long time to figure out how to get it online and viewable, and I'm still not really satisfied. Sometimes I think I may never be satisfied.
