Special businesscard I made learning fine detail looking at the magic moving images book( thanks to rinaldidesign). Very good and very special and catch more attention. However the people receiving it could be playing it for hours, and forget to look at the other side for the information.

wow...amazing, and it''ll for sure get you 'noticed', remembered, stand out.....great job at self promo piece Chung dha!

[Deavas]

I completly agree with de above.

it's rather unique, and very well thought of.
I think this could become really popular.

Compliments to the cheff on this one, but chung dha already knows :P

[bluecherrygfx]

That is so incredibly cool! I love it.

Chung Dha: WOW, ...real nice concept

I like your idea..best part is this concept is scalable..
good work

[~V~]

I agree its a really cool idea. Do you know if they'd be expensive/ time consuming to produce?

[Chung Dha]

The production cost should cost lower than the 3d animated swivel cards and easier to produce. Cause those need special machines to make it.

Mine exist of a plastic transparent sleeve with vertical rasters printed on it.
To make the animation cards does not take very long. But mosty depends the time you be making the animation it self. Then I got a special template to make the animation to become 1 picture. And print it out and you are done.

Awesome Chung Dha, very clever. I'm too nosy if i ask you if it is possible to describe the process of making the picture for animation?

Hi Chung Dha, good work.

here is a link that you might find interesting:

its a video showing how the 2D barcode reader on the nokia N95 works.

you could for example make business cards with barcodes on them and link your barcodes to websites/animations, so that people can
see animations when they look through their mobile phone cameras at your business cards. I think their is some research done in that area. ...

[Chung Dha]

I worked with Qr code before. It is quite a hype in Japan but in Europe is quite unknown. Also internet on your phone is quite expensive still. Because Qr code is a URL or a TXT. URL often go to a site or a download file( song, data or picture). Txt is just a short message about something.

The barcode does not contain to much info though. But I don't think putting a qr code on a business card would be good. Unless you are living in Japan. Otherwise kind of pissing people off because they dont have the software on the phone to see it. Or you are putting your website link double on the card.

Very sharp!
Should definitely make an impression.
Have you thought about making a version that can display regular text as well (address, phone numbers, etc.)? Maybe clear on one side or something? -Or maybe even an address line that with a slide of the card changes to the phone number?

[Chung Dha]

Problem lies the card is 85mm x 55mm and the pictures can't be to detailed because of the rasters. The things in the animation need to be big so will not fit all logo's only that that are big and simple in of. And text are too detail for this unless the text is really short and very big on the card. The info should be on the other side of the animation.

now tried working with colors bit head ache cause pretty bad to use if someone got a light colored theme cause this only works only with high dark light contrast .

[jtchurch]

I like the new name Anibizcard. Although it's still a bit of a mouthful imo. You may not even need to have 'business' in there. This may not be the kind of feedback you were looking for, but what about:

DynaCard (Dynamic: Marked by usually continuous and productive activity or change; energetic, forceful. Opposite of static).

KinetiCard (Kinetic: With movement. Kinetic comes from the Greek word "kinesis" for motion.),

Live Card (Self Explanatory)

[Chung Dha]

But need to search for name that does not exist. Anibizcard or Anibiz Card does not exist so it is quite good.

Dynacard already that is a corporation that is called that.

Kenetic not really liking the word bit the physic sounding.

Live is bit too far from what it does

[jtchurch]

Yeah it looks like there are a few DynaCards I guess.
Hmmm...

MovmaCard
MoovmaCard
MuvmaCard

Nobody has those names... (Shrugs)
