Anyone can make a flash spot, but in my opinion these guys are the some of the best and most creative in the biz... check their portfolios...

Hey I work with a few motion graphics/video guys, their stuff is a little different but check them out.
Oh some of the work is repeated throughout the sites, thats because they also work together.

Cool stuff... I'm impressed.. I'd love to take the design stuff I do and put it into motion like that someday, that would be a great job I think.

Are those guys friends of yours? Do you know if they went to school to learn or are they self-taught? I'm considering taking a class this fall to brush up on my Flash, etc.

Yeah I've become fairly close to Caton and Mason, I know Mason went to Film School, but I'm pretty sure Caton is completely self-taught, and Mason is mostly self taught as he really only got into video and MG after he dropped out of school.

Don't know much about Jason, I imagine he probably is educated professionally in MG.

Mason teaches a class at SAIC, but also teaches classes at the Chicago Art Department, or CAD, I think it would be really cool if you got involved with them!
