Alright so I decided to do some Steemwork this Sunday. There are a few things @ackza wanted me to make. I am kind of his go-to animator for his Team ghana project and his own personal artistic visions.
Working on Steemit combined with adobe flash animator is a lot like a video game. A video game with complete creative control. Unlike an actual video game, where you work within the constraints of the people who programmed the game, I can create the world I want to play in.
Yesterday was a day working in the physical world, today, I'm doing blockchain work. Both realms of art, one existing on the other side of a computer screen, the other existing in the real world involving tangible materials. The latter has me more excited recently, because I am going to be renting a studio with @dr-us. I will be taking my visual art more seriously now that I will be investing $275 a month on a studio space.
I hope to be able to continue making Steem Animated art though, so I appreciate any and all feedback/ and suggestions for which to bring to life via Adobe Flash.
First, I'll show you an idea @ackza gave me, to create some photo shopped STEEM garments. I learned how to "liquefy" in photoshop to make the steem pattern that I made look like cloth on her body.
Next on the list, we are trying to get some material together for @ackza to advertise STEEM with on instagram. Instagram doesn't allow you advertise alternative health products like Hemp Paste, which I have tried to do. Thankfully they still let you advertise crytpocurrency stuff! I cleaned up the original one with ridiculous explosions by extracting a few frames at the end.
@ackza made a comment suggesting that I should take the explosions out and focus more on zooming in on the price in a smoother manner. I tried to download adobe After Effects but was unsuccessful, therefore, I am subject to create animated gifs at the resolution gifs operate at using adobe flash. I CAN export the flash animations as movie files for use on instagram. @ackza, let me know which ones you want in movie format I can email them to you.
You can publish more than one video at a time on instagram, so that the viewer has to swipe left to view the other videos. This might be a good idea to do for instagram, although, I should probably try to use a different section of @ackza's profile to show post payouts. Both of the gifs here use the same posts in his feed. This is because I was looking for a string of posts made by him and not re-steems. I think it will look better to the unsuspecting viewer who gets his ad popping up on their screen to have them all be by the same author. I could be wrong though too.
I do feel like we need to make something a little more professional for the Instagram ad. I don't know if I can be of much help with that as we need it super clean and to communicate very fast and efficiently like, using a woman's voice explaining very gently what steemit is.
Keep havin' a good day!
Haha this is quite cute actually first steemit thing I have seen I would wear

Hubba! HUbba! Nice duds!! ;) . This is very cool. Just wanted to comment, and "wax philosophical" for a moment, because, this is something I think about quite frequently and also qhich obv comes up a lot online. It is the, in my opinion, the... misguided separation of "online" and CPU-related activity as somehow being "unnatural" or, "not real." Well... of course this is going in a complex direction (for me lol) but, it is my belief that this itself is an "unnatural" concept! Where is our computer? Where "is" the... server that metes out data (i guess that's what it does lol)? Well, they're... In teh World!!! Which, for me, is "Nature." And who "made" the CPU? Well, people! Who are, in the world! In other words, nothing is "unnatural"; everything is "nature"! lol. Not saying this is what u were saying necessarily; just something I think about, and find interesting. Kind of a "defense" against folks who I like to call "hippy dippy" (yes, that's kind prejudiced lol) and want to say that "ohh technology is like bad, man.. it's like, so not natural..." Oh yeah? The what is it? "Super natural?" :) . Technology s the advencement of Nature itself; "led" by, a certain organism who is, too also advancing, and which in turn "advances" and shapes the world it too is part of!

well the internet is kind of like an artificial telepathy. being able to communicate with anyone anywhere at any time... and yes like the ying yang, good and evil are part of nature. i'm not calling the internet evil, and i dont think artifical intelligence machines could ever be capable of connecting to a "higher self" or sorts... so that will be left up to us humans. THATS the super natural. the spirit worlds and stuff. hopefully our technology will help us recognize that kind of supernatural stuff more, now that we will have all the natural stuff on lock. its going to force us to search for more meaning in life, but first we gotta turn the planet around so that we can relax enough to feel like taking the time to search for that extra meaning. hopefully we can use the internet to bring about that change! and we ARE doing it with the whistle blowing and obviously crypto. if we can maintain.. and not let the movement get usurped by the dark cabal .

Yes, very good point on the cabal thing. shiver (there's always an "enemy" somewhere out there ;)). And I agree totally--I heard someone on steemit actually share an idea that sums it up quite well: basically that "science" and all its instrumentation, is simply an extension of our own senses.. semed to make sense to me lol. In otehr words, it is crucial that the "scientist" remember that he or she too is necessarily implicated in any "observation--" there is NO "God's eye view..." HUmans are inextricably linked to "science," and vice versa. And jst to your point about "telepathy"--exactly... Heck, doesn't it just mae perfect sense--"telpathy" (which sounds and has a rap of being so "flighty" and "magical," well, DUH... so was a "telephone" (tele-phone ;)) 300 years ago!!! All these "paranormal" things... the spaces between the "paras" (next tos , besides/ ) will grow closer and closer... Make ssense to me lol
