Hi everybody !
My name is Jin Saburi, CEO and Creative Director of my company, Metal Red, Inc.
I am also a professional photographer, musician, and have been programming for nearly 30 years now, from Commodore PETs, Tandy TRS-80s, Commodore 64s, Apple ][s, The second Mac, Japanese PCs, MIPS workstations, then back to the Macintoshs (IIci, Quadras, etc.) and Windows too. Mainly a Mac-guy – as I am mainly a designer – but have been a ADC member for 15 yrs, and MSDN member for ten.
The other guys are much more talented and should rather be writing for ‘JActionSuperGods.com’, but I am the old school, try-to-get-away-with-a-sloppy-code AS3.0 learner. Don’t tell me my code sucks. I KNOW ;D
I will try to give some nice ideas, show some work-in-progress stuff, and also give some information about the Japanese market in this weblog.
Let me introduce my company, METAL RED here a bit.
We mainly plan and direct web and non-web promotions, but as I used to be in the print business, we do print too. International customers are always welcome !
We are building lots of promotion sites and schemes for top companies, such as KDDI (one of the top cellular brands in Japan), SQUARE ENIX (yeah, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and more), SONY, etc.
BTW I lived in New York for ten years in my childhood, so my english is better than my ActionScript, and also I used to work for a company in Osaka, maker of games such as RXXXdent EXil and StrXXt FigXXer. Thus, I just love making games or interfaces that have cool or fun gimmicks as in a game, with Flash.
Personally, I want to introduce top-quality analog methods (graphic, video, and sound) to be intergrated with top-notch programming – and enhance the quality of the Japanese creative community.
I hope this site assists you in understanding that, the Japanese ActionScript community ROCKS HELL !!
