Despite our difference in opinion, – I really appreciate your thoughts. I do agree, the concept of motion design is not dead. In fact, I think the need for it is more relevant than ever. But I do think that at one point Flash was the most liberating, and compelling tool to bring motion experiences online. Today, I don’t feel that way about it. Nor do I feel the same ease, and liberation that I used to feel about Flash in the tools available today. In the bigger world, (outside of the web) I agree, theories and practice of motion design is alive and well. It’s a good point, and I should have stated that clearer. I’d leave off with the thought that the web industry has turned towards tools and methods that are possibly less capable than Flash because Adobe lost our faith that they would be good stewards of its momentum. Despite my pessimism about Flash and Adobe, -I’m on the bandwagon for progress, not arbitrarily bashing though.

What a short sighted post. People still do call themselves Motion Designers. They’re all over the place and they don’t just use Flash, although it is one of the tools. Motion Design is a broad topic, and not strictly limited to the Web. However, if you really think the internet is that small, I think you’re dead wrong. I guess it’s too easy to jump on the bandwagon, but take a step back and think through it and you may come to other conclusions. Suprising, coming from someone at Paste, I think you guys make great stuff.
