Hello to all HYPErs out there
I am Richard Foster, Graphic Designer, Brand Designer and all round funny guy living in Melbourne Australia.
I work in a small agency in town as a Designer Studio Manager. I speak English, French, Greek and Italian.
Being a graphic designer, I have always wanted to design websites and learn coding but found it daunting. Since buying HYPE PRO for our studio we now use it a lot. Being a VERY user friendly app esp for MAC based people it has encouraged me to delve deeper into learning code and how it works.

So to the makers of HYPE I cant thank you enough. Tho more tutorials are needed to help novices like me do more amazing stuff. I find some things a bit frustrating and that relates to SEO and search engine optimization. Email forms and silly things like buttons that scroll to a particular point on a page (I cant find out how to do it arrrgghhh)

I haven’t used any other animation tool other than the old “Flash”. I have found HYPE to be the best and I am plowing through as many lessons and tutorials I can find.

There are so many great animated movies out there its hard to choose Finding Nemo, Toy Story, Up, Inside out Frozen,
Hotel Transylvania 1 and 2 just to name a few.

Cheers from Downunder.
Richard

Who are you?

I’m Daniel Morgan, the support lead / director of support / chief troubleshooter here at Tumult, so if you email us, find a typo in the documentation, or cause a ruckus on the forums I’ll know. Oh, I’ll know.

What is your industry/profession?

My industry is usually defined as ‘Internet’. I’ve been working on the web since the 90s. My first gig was as a photography department intern at the New Yorker Magazine, and then I became the project manager for Gelo Factory, worked on an app recommendation app called ‘Explor / Appsaursus’ in San Francisco, then found the awesome guys at Tumult more than 5 years ago now!

Where do you call home?

Brooklyn, NY, specifically Bed Stuy.

What is your native language?

English, but I also speak Spanish.

What have you made with Hype – or what are you planning on using Hype for?

By last count, I have over 2,000 Hype documents on my computer. I’ve created some quick little sites for friends ( http://www.cassandrajenkins.com is an example), and little animations for a non-profit I volunteer for: https://globalglimpse.org/holidaygiving is one recent project. I also enjoy helping artists create installations – http://www.constancehockaday.com/tide-clock/ is one such project.

Would you call yourself a beginner, novice, or advanced?

Still learning.

What’s your favorite design/animation tool (Other than Hype)?

I’ve spent the most time in Aperture and Photoshop, and I’m enjoying Sketch the more I use it.

What’s the first interaction or animation tool you ever used? (Analog OR digital!)

My first animations were probably created in After Effects for a high school video.

What is your favorite animated film?

I’m still blown away by Toy Story 1, but I remember really digging Cowboy Bepop in high school.

[Thiago (Thiago Ribeiro Nogueira)]

Hi, My Name is Thiago Ribeiro Nogueira, I’m from Brazil and work with interactive didactic books in a publishing company. As you can see my english is not good, I speak portuguese.

I’m looking for a alternative for Edge Animate and found Hype that’s very good! I’m using the trial version for testing but I want to purchase the license when expire.

[Dsal22 (David Salomon)]

Hi I’m David Salomon, living in Adelaide Australia. I make video documentaries, websites and training using template driven tools and graphics using very little code. I’m brand new to Hype. I speak a English and a little bit of Pitjantjatjara, an Aboriginal language from Central Australia. Favourite tool other than Hype would be Final Cut ProX, Rapidweaver and currently, Strata Foto. First animation card I used was Hypercard, wasn’t that something. Favourite film is Lawrence of Arabia.

Currently I’m working on a geology project representing changes in landscape over 800 million years ago to about 350 million years ago in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. In particular an asteroid impact event that proceeded the appearance of the first animals.

I want to make 3d field samples and fossils using Strata Foto than can be displayed on a website similar to the 3D widget in ibooks Author by embedding a ,dae file. Can anyone tell me how I can do that in Hype or direct me to a resource?

This is an ice rafted drop stone, formed when ice with stone embedded floated out over a fairly still lake. On melting the rock was released sinking to the muddy buttom.

The task I want to do is easily done in iBooks Author and I would love to be able to display it on webpage as well.

Hi! I’m Eeva – I work in the eLearning industry and I’m a total newbie with Tumult! I’m from Finland but work closely with all the Scandinavian countries. My purpose is to create short video animations used mainly for digital learning purposes.

[Dsal22 (David Salomon)]

Thanks Michael, That link is certainly on the right track. For me it looks rather complicated. Perhaps I need to learn some java script.

Thanks for your reply.

[SaraSB (Sara Schmidt Boldon)]

Who are you?
Hello, everyone! My name is Sara Schmidt Boldon and I have had so much fun working with Hype.

What is your industry/profession?
I am a Digital Production Specialist for a textbook publisher. I generate eBooks and digital learning supplements. I have been at this for about a year and a half.

I have been creating interactive flash cards for our Spanish language program. Here is an example. My current project uses layered illustrations instead of photographs, which makes it easier to create more movement.

Would you call yourself a beginner, novice, or advanced?
I’m catching on, so I would say I am a novice.

What’s your favorite design/animation tool (Other than Hype)?
I am learning Adobe Edge Animate concurrently, and that is going pretty well after a bit of initial frustration, but I love Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign as supporting design tools.

What’s the first interaction or animation tool you ever used?
Aside from making flip books in grade school, I learned Flash just after the migration to Adobe from Macromedia.

What is your favorite animated film?

[zacaman (Mark Rushton)]

Hey folks, Mark here.

I’m an academic in the international development field, but my background includes teaching digital video editing in AVID and FCP, filmmaker mentoring, half-assed web design , tv & film production, broadcast news reporting and Spanish–> English translation. Yup, a mixed bag.

My current position at a university in Mexico includes some web-work (see my post elsewhere in the forums).

Although I’ve been in Mexico for a decade and counting, my heart & soul are back in the blueberry patch of Nova Scotia, Canada.

I speak English natively, Spanish passably, French horribly and a smattering of other words in various languages that will serve to acquire the essentials (food, beer, place to sleep).

I’ve played with Hype over the past few years, but haven’t had a reason to do much with it. A couple of conference websites (pre- and post) are where my current interest in Hype lie.

My technical level is “Mac Guru” who recognizes his limitations. In Hype terms, I’m a novice.

Other design tool: Pixelmator is amazing. Or would be, if it had CMYK

Animated film: so many to choose from. Let’s say Wall-E, the first 10 minutes of Up!, Rango, The Big Snit (NFB short)…

[Jeroen (Jeroen Carelse)]

Hi Eeva, I am located in Finland too. I bought Hype years ago and kept it up-to-date but never have done any larger or commercial projects with it. Maybe we could establish a meetup group? I would benefit from talking to others and see how they solve problems etc.

[dwa (berndt)]

Hi there!
my name is Berndt and I´m from germany.
First – sorry for my bad English, somtetimes I still have to use Google translate

I´m the owner of a small graphic design office with a small but powerful team. Starting work with Apple Power Mac 6100 … now, some years later here is still „windows-free-zone“.
Most of my work is classic Print design, but in the last 10 years there was a lot of web-work to do, so we got familiar with HTML, Wordpress, Contao and … …
My personal skill is still NOT coding – as a graphic designer I hate code But I love webdesign – so I have worked myself up with Adobe Muse and a little bit “Hype”.
To Hype I´m an absolutely newbie – so I beg your pardon in case of asking stupid Hype-Questions

My first little animation using Hype is our own christmas greeting – you´ll find here:
http://xmas.das-werbeatelier.de

Details:
-> I’m Berndt
-> absolute beginner
-> I’m a print and webdesigner
-> German is my native tongue
