L'auteur - Anthony Eden

From an early age Anthony developed a love of interaction with mathematics and computational languages, along the way gaining an appreciation of any given natural environment and the ability to transform his environment into a digital construct. Inspiration for his latest project, www.arseiam.com (essentially an ActionScript anthology of his Flash work) is testament to this philosophy. The last decade has included commercial roles with Microsoft, Disney, Toyota, and Adobe providing a sound framework in which to explore and diversify his project development lifecycle skills. Spare time? If hes not thinking about it hes doing it!

L'auteur - Brad ferguson

After wanting to be an actor for many years I decided to take a more realistic career route when I was choosing which college to go to. I had always loved to draw so I decided to give animation a try. Since animating is acting with a pencil, I knew that Id be happy - the best of both worlds. I am a graduate of Sheridan Colleges 3-year Classical Animation Program in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, and right now Im involved with freelance game development and Flash animation work. My website is www.canvasobrad.com/.

L'auteur - Glen Rhodes

I started my mind going early in life when I was about 4 years old. At that age, I began playing the piano, which was sitting unused in our house. Ive been playing ever since then. Later, in 1997, I co-wrote a full-length musical called Chrystanthia. Somewhere along the way, I picked up game programming as a hobby, and eventually ended up making games professionally for home console systems. Then, in 1998, I discovered how I could take all my experiences and combine them when I discovered Flash. The rest is history. I share my ideas on my website, www.glenrhodes.com.
