This flash feature released on June 24th 2011 was meant precede the June 28th premier of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. From the outset of this project I designed the feature to mimic the film in terms of color pallet and motif. The theme for this feature is a high tech robotic assembly line. I created two prominent robotic arms and utilized the IK bones tool to animate them as central transitional device for Superstar transformations and menu changes.
Here's my exciting loading screen!
When loaded the user is greeted with a loud garage band based rock track that can be turned on and off.
After the user clicks the start button on the introduction text, the screen fades from black to a zoom out of the background to the foreground and we are greeted to the features' logo and robotic animation. Now time to click begin!
After the begin button is pressed, the background zooms back in along with a robotic arms animation to "create" the selection menu. On mouse over of each Superstar, each button pop up with a shadow behind it.
This example of Undertaker is what each Superstar selection looks like. When "Transform the Undertaker" button is clicked the old image fades out, along with a robotic arm transition and after effects created transform animation plays to reveal the current look of the Undertaker. (See below)
Here is another example, in this case Zack Ryder.
