Studio/Artist Exploration

Although not traitionally a studio, Albino Blacksheep (ABS) is a popular forum for which amature flash animators and other multimedia enthusiasts alike come to exchange ideas, text files, image files, and of course movies for fun.

Founded in 1999 by Steven Lerner primarily for the sake of promoting his band of the same name. After taking web desinging classes Steven Lerner decided to redesign the entire website, and ever since it has gained popularity throughout the years. The most obvious aspects that ABS shows is its wide variety of amature flash animations, some of which are collaberations between numerous animators. A good number of resources that are used for these animations usually come from an open source such as Flashkit.com which is a great place for flash developrs to not only gather ideas and tools from but also things like sound effects, all of which are free to use.
