looking for a Flash animation - drumming mushrooms
 

I have an old bookmark that I tried to follow today (http://heven.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/flash/drums.swf). That entire website is gone, so don't bother following that link. I want to find it again, but my Google skills fail me.

The animation was a bunch of mushrooms in a semicircle, each with its own drum. The pattern became more and more complex as more mushrooms added their rhythms to the mix. There was also some round spinning thing with gnashing teeth towards the end of the animation.

Can anyone help me?

This is not what you are talking about, but enjoy

Here are some other cool sites that I find while looking for the one that you are looking for

Is this what you are talking about Redlemon

These are not mushrooms but the animation seems to fit the description of what you are talking about.

*edit: After watching the whole thing I am sure that this is the animation that you are looking for.

I'm getting a Host Not Found on that site (and all the way up to home.scarlet.be). Did you miss a letter when you copied the URL?

Sticky's link works for me. Edited?

Must be something screwy on my end then. I'll try again at home. Sticky, I'm sure that you are right, and that I merely hallucinated the mushrooms. Perhaps I was thinking of Fantasia at the same time. Hope it works from home.

those are neat li'l sites Sticky........thanx man.........

I remember seeing the site that did those originaly. It was pretty trippy and all in flash. I'm going to ask one of my friends if they still have the URL.

You have to thank redlemon, I only found them becuase I was looking for that site.

The animation is the work of the talented tokyoplastic www.tokyoplastic.com for for of the same

OK, I still couldn't get there from home; I'm guessing that my ISP (SBC) doesn't like the site for some reason. I can get to Tokyoplastic, and that is definitely them, but their fricken' navigation system seems broken, I keep going in circles rather than reaching the animation itself. Arrrrgh, so close, and yet...

I found the navigation really crappy as well. And they make yo wait through all this other intro crap.

Anyway, here are the instructions to find it
1. Go to http://www.tokyoplastic.com/
2. Click the Japanese under "enter Tokyoplastic
3. click the square japanese flag on the right of the new window that opened
4. A chair comes up the in the middle. Click the Japanese on top of the chair
5. It now goes through about a 15 second animation resulting in an odd looking plant with weird toothed flowers on the end of each branch/vine. If you hover over the second one from the right in the tp left you will see that it says drummachine. That is how you know that you found the right one. Click the second one from the right.
6. Thinking that this will run the drum machine is wrong. It now goes through a 10second animation and then you will have to click the small square Japanese flag in the middle of the screen.
7. Thinking that this will also run the drum machine is wrong as well. It goes through about a 4 second animation and leaves you with an empty box at the bottom of the window. Click the empty white box.
8. You think that this will run the drum machine, well, you are wrong. It now runs about a 45 second animation with a box running with feet on it. The it does a TPX animation with the THX sound thing from movie theatres. It then leaves you with a small character banging its head on a drum. Click the Japanese writing on top of it.
9. It will then go through about a 30 second animation after which the drum machine you are looking for (I hope) will be loaded.

Don't ask me how I got through that navigation, but it worked.

Enjoy

I think that's where I thought I had gone into a loop, and gave up. Good animators, but they need to be shot when it comes to UI.

Oh, I found a semi-shortcut: http://tokyoplastic.com/dm.html will take you to Step 7.
