Creative Kid Central Is Go!

If you frequent this blog then you've probably noticed my recent fascination with making creative writing prompts for kids.  Since I now have a small collection of prompts I figured I should make a place on the interwebs where they can be easily stored, sorted and downloaded.  So over the weekend I put together a little website that I call "Creative Kid Central."  Trust me, it's gonna be big (at least in my own mind.)

So yeah, I made a website.  Click HERE to check it out.  And stay tuned to this blog for announcements and updates on new C.K.C. content.

(PS: I built the C.K.C. using Google Sites.  It's a nice little system.  Pretty easy.  And nice looking to boot.  I'd recommend it to anybody looking to build a free website.)

A Bit of Rough Animation

I made this bit of rough animation today in Flash:

Robot with signs (rough animation) from Will Strong on Vimeo.

As it turns out animating is a ton of fun, especially if you do a simple 2-D robot that doesn't require any knowledge of mass or form. I know that there are timing issues that need to be taken care of (and it compressed funny too.) But I'm rather pleased with this.

Oh, by the way, this will be the intro movie for my new website which is currently under construction.

Web Happenings

Hey folks, I've got a couple of websites running now beyond just the blogoshpere. You can find the links to them just on the right side of this very blog you are looking at right now.

The first one is my personal website. It's pretty much just an online portfolio and if you frequent this website then it won't really be new stuff to you. It's fairly utilitarian but it works for now.

The other website is a personal project of mine: Creative Central. It's the beginnings (still very early) of a website that will be dedicated to the teaching of creativity to children.

Both these sites were made using Weebly. Don't know Weebly? Check it out, it's free.
