Vancouver-based Bardel Entertainment has begun using Flash extensively to create in-house series such as THE MR. DINK SHOW (The Comedy Network) and STORIES FROM THE SEVENTH FIRE (CBC), as well as the recent holiday special THE CHRISTMAS ORANGE (ABC Family and Teletoon). Because of Bardels experience, the making of these Flash for broadcast properties has been featured in Macromedia's recent paperback publication FLASH MX -- DESIGN FOR TV AND VIDEO, written by Janet Galore and Todd Kelsey. The book is full of special techniques for overcoming technical issues, and is an excellent resource for studios and animators who want to go beyond using Flash for the Internet. Bardels work is highlighted in Chapter 11, "Creating a Television Series in Flash." The studio's other Flash for TV and Internet broadcast work includes ¡MUCHA LUCHA! for Warner Bros. and the NASCAR-based Web series THE KELLYS for Sportsblast. FLASH MX -- DESIGN FOR TV AND VIDEO is published by Wiley Publishing (www.wiley.com/compbooks). ISBN 0-7645-3681-8.
