We interviewed Flash animator Chris Georgenes at his home studio in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Chris is self-taught as an animator and his clients include Pileated Pictures, Lucas Arts, Universal Records, Plot Developers, AOL and others. He is currently working for Acclain on their web game RockFree, is a Flash instructor at Sessions College for Professional Design, and is the author of How to Cheat in Flash by Focal Press. We talked with Chris about how his career path has gone from airbrushing streetscapes to the stage at FlashForward, and how his techniques for using Flash can best be expressed as…in Chris’ words:
“The devil’s in the details, and that’s where I love to be.”
Very inspiring. It’s great to hear the stories of how people become successful in the art world, and awesome to hear about all the sweet things my teacher has done. Rock (drum?) on, Chris!! =D
