Demonstration of creating a 3d looking animation of a rolling eyeball using 2d animation tools in Microsoft Expression Design 2 and Expression Blend 2. The video was done in real time - all total 8 minutes to create a rather impressive looking result.

nice! did u save as swf or gif or what?

@boloisdaman - neither. I used a screen capture utility to make the video. The actual animation is Silverlight, of course, since that is what Blend does.

I wish Blend would save animations as videos, but it doesn't. It is primarily targeted at building silverlight applications, not for making videos.

Good tutorial, only suggestion would be to capture at higher res, kind of hard to see in window and too blury full screen at 480. Thanks!
