SOLO ANIMATION & RETRO ARCHIVE
A chronological selection of classic solo Flash projects and digital video experiments.
Project MMX (2005)
My first Flash. I never finished it and never will, but it's still cool to look back on. This was my real first attempt at a Flash project, originally uploaded to my DeviantArt scraps.
Status: Unfinished. Originally uploaded to DeviantArt scraps.
Metroid Eternal Power (2007) (Unfinished, Experimental, Never Released)
An experimental Metroid animation created in 2007. The project was never released and remained unfinished, but the surviving scenes provide a glimpse at another abandoned Metroid project from the same period.
Status: Unfinished. Experimental project, never released.
Metroid: Invasion Part 1 (2006)
Based on the official Metroid e-manga. Custom sprite work, original rips, and voice acting features.
Donkey Kong Remix (2004)
Adam's first submitted Flash animation, made over roughly two weeks at 24 FPS. Mario uses custom sprites, while the Donkey Kong sprites were ripped from the SNES.
Mario: Fishy Water (2005)
A short Mario parody made in four days between work on the main Metroid Flash. A quick experiment with premade sprites, featuring a joke about the chasing fish in Super Mario World and a second scene with dolphins and a rather strange big fish.
Two Guys and a Girl (2010)
Created for Digital Animation Course at Thames Valley University using 'Final' from Carnival of the Animals.
Deadmau5 - One Trick Pony (Typography) (2011)
A uni assignment where I taught myself After Effects in 6 weeks, mixing Flash and After Effects to create my first kinetic typography music video.
