We rocked a small experiment today to create an animated website loader to control loading for non-flash websites, starting with our own. http://www.wintr.us If yo.u are using a browser that supports <canvas> (basically anything other than IE), you’ll see an animated intro when you go to the site. And if not (IE users), you can see it here. This is interesting for a couple of reasons. First, you get that elegant easing while loading that you’d otherwise need flash for. Combined with smart use of HTML5 animations, you can create elegance. Second, this is actually a 2D video game technique ‘bit blit’ or ‘blitting’. Nice intersection of motion design and interactive.
