Experiment: Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E.

I've dreamed of a way for a while to animate a project in the STYLE of a comic. My goal here was to take the classic "Nextwave" by Ellis and Immonen and give it good motion; beyond a "Motion Comic". This scene from the Graphic Novel been completely reconstructed (or reverse engineered) as splines (curved lines built from math equations) and then animated (and no, you can't autotrace most of it...trust me).

THIS is NOT a movie, it is a real time rendering webpage creating the animation on your device from the moment you click it. It also allows for the use of .SVG files, HUGE amounts of information and data in tiny files which can be easily transferred to readers.

Here are SOME the benefits to using a process like this:

Easy to animate, accurate to the artist style, pulled from still images
Self contained stories/presentations that are live and can be WIKI or linked to anything online and can play on any device (phone, computer, tablet) through the BROWSER; NO NEED FOR AN Application and no barrier to entry.
Resolution Independent, look great at any size on any device
Completely Programmable for Interactivity (links, varied animations, etc)
Product Placement, Purchases, Micro-payment all easily applicable and natural to this environment.
Choose-own-adventure or Non-linear story telling (with additional Art)
Easter Egg, Contest, interlinking existing story lines (having a direct link from one story to another allowing for “rabbit-holing” a series
Add an expansive and innovative potential for story boards and live brochures and presentations.
