Motorola Bubble Screen Saver

The Initial concepts were supplied in the form of a story board. Each screensaver concept needed to be created in .swf and .gif formats.

Initial concept storyboard.





Flash .swf Format

By using actionscript to programme the shape and movement of the bubble it was possible to create the smooth motion whilst keeping the file size well below the maximum specified in the brief.




Animated Gif Format

The challenge of producing the animated gif version of the Motorola bubble was to create an animation that was within the file size limits, and yet maintained a degree of smoothness and fluidity.
By overlapping three looping bubbles the repetitiveness of the animation (a necessity due to the small files size) was masked. The final animated git was made using a combination of Flash, Photoshop and Fireworks.
