Starship Enterprise runs on the Flash Platform

by Serge Jespers on 19. May, 2009 in AIR, Cool stuff, Flash Platform

“Space… The final frontier.”

Have you ever wondered how all those cool graphics and animations on TV-shows and in movies are built? Well… I was pleasantly surprised to hear that they actually use Flash to create those.

Lee Brimelow just published an interview with OOOii, a visual effects company based in Hollywood who actually created all the visuals used on the new Star Trek movie. By the way, if you haven’t seen the new Star Trek movie, I can really recommend it. The effects are great and the movie is action packed. Aaaaaand… to top it off: The Starship Enterprise runs on the Flash Platform! ;-)

Flash on!

    Flash is the Future…

    Now who said, that the Flash platform does not have a future? It even powers the consoles of the U.S.S. Enterprise….
