Going back to the end of 2005 I create a couple Flash animations that I gave to the Funday folks that they might employ them "whenever they got bored". The animations would (for the most part) have a chroma-keyed background so that the character would just appear as overlay covering the live action background. I didn't know quite what I was doing so the effect didn't come off as cleanly as I hoped, but the animations were fun.

I've mentioned already about my love of videogames, and I had a particular love for arcade games because those machines would display actual recognizable characters unlike the Atari 2600, and to some extent the Nintendo Entertainment System. I loved playing Pac Man, but the thing that really pushed my interest into life-long enjoyment was when Mrs. Pac Man was introduced and it contained these little short story segments when completing certain level milestones. They were so simple, but they really made me smile and it was my pleasure to resurrect that entertainment for this animated piece.
