Abstract

Multi-Timeline Randomized Story Based Web Animation is the investigation of the use of randomness as a creative element and production tool for animations produced for the internet using Macromedia FlashTM. It discusses the process of utilizing Actionscript to create animations more efficiently, production techniques for animating with Flash, writing for randomized animations, directing voice talent, optimization for web output, and advantages and limitations of the application. The application discussed, titled "Random Life," is an animation which incorporates randomness while remaining coherent by adhering to a traditional story line format.
