Addendum, 2009: Yes, this tribute to the events of 9/11/01 is obviously dated (see references to Flash 5 and dial-up modems). Yet, for all its lack of sophistication, I still wish to present my movie, eight years later. If you'd like to link to the movie, you may use this URL: http://webwiseass.com/911.

In Memoriam

 

Oftentimes the best way to express grief is through one's art. Hence my humble (yet large, very large) Flash 5 animation, which I'd like to share with the world at large. It is, perhaps, not as sophisticated or pretty as others' Flash offerings, but is very sincere.

This .swf file is quite a behemoth, weighing in at 2.5 mb. It should take 28.8 modems approximately 30 minutes to download, 10-15 minutes for 56k modems -- those of us with cable/DSL, should download in less than a minute.

I hope that you enjoy the animation. If nothing else, it was quite cathartic for me. (A note about the song: It's "Epilogue (Psalm 121)" from The Falcon and the Snowman soundtrack by the Pat Metheny Group -- so-so film, great album.)

 

Peace.
