Rant update

Still working on the rant animations. It's frustrating how long it's taking, I guess I didn't realize when I said 12 rant animations that that would be an hour of animation! Still we are working on it as fast as we can, and it will be totally worth it in the end!

One of the problems I had was that the Chris and Joe animations are all code driven, so there really isn't anyway to see what you have animated until after you publish the swf format (flash file output). Since these animations are about 5 minutes long each if you animate something at the end of the rant you have to wait until you get to that point to check it properly. So I made these code guides that animate each section of the code that I will be using. You can't really do it effectively with stills since you need to know what the animation looks like, how long it takes and how it interacts with each other piece of code you are calling at the same time. With this I can tell what the animation I am coding up looks like while I code it. I still have to check it. But it's a lot easier now. I was trying to keep it all in my head before. Anyway, Try it out! Click on the Chris and Joe images below.
