Starting in 2000 I began creating short multimedia promotional biographies of Gothic, Industrial, Electronica, EDM, IDM, Noise, Techno, Dark Pop, Electro Punk and Black Metal artists in Macromedia's Director/Shock Wave Format(SWF) and Flash. In 2015 I converted over 200 animations from Flash to HTML5 code and in 2017 I again converted the features to Mpeg4 YouTube Movies. These are my historical archives...
Winter/Spring 08
It's been a great year so far. Looking forward to graduating from the University of Alaska with a BA in Journalism but a snafu in the system (no instructors for a couple of higher level courses I needed in the Art department) has meant that I will not have an official graphic design specialty for my degree. Whatever, I have all the art classes to qualify for admittance into the Bachelor of Fine Arts program if I want to continue for a third degree.
Well, once again the label WTII records has supplied half of the featured artists. The remainder is a demo from Texas, and a couple CDs from Portland and NYC. All excellent and worthy of your time.
Over the folowing two years, a virtual freeze-up of new submissions would mean an end of new features for Loopzine.tv. Instead, the web site was modified so it would branch to different pages depending on what platform you are using to view it (i.e. Android phone, tablet, PC or goggle TV). In 2013, because Apple does not support FLASH it was decided that everything published under Pocket Loop would be transferred from Flash to HTML5 and it would be one home page that would work equally well on phones tablets or desktop PCs.
Finally over 2018 all animations were coverted from HTML5 to MPEG video hosted by You Tube.
