While making tweaks to the home page animation, I needed more control over the animation to ensure there are no performance issues or bugs. I decided to make some simple controls for the various aspects of the animation. I decided to make these controls public as an easter egg when the dolnik.ca logo is clicked within the animation to help show the different aspects of how the animation works.

When the public perception and presence of Adobe Flash was dwindling, the Flash-based home page of dolnik.ca needed an update. Utilizing recent web technology such as Html5, CSS3, and Greensock animation platform, I was able to recreate the animated time lapse mountain scenery of the Flash version, as well as update the look and feel of the clouds to add more realism. The scene shown is a videoscape of a mountain top setting based off of a picture of myself during a hike up one of the local mountains around Vancouver.
