Frequently Asked Questions

How did you make Fireflies?
We started with something called a paper prototype which is basically a rough sketch of the application.  We researched the flight behavior of real fireflies to get a feel for how they move.  Next, we worked on a physics simulator for the flight dynamics -- we actually simulate the thrust generated by the firefly's wings.  We saved the artwork for last.  This is the part I enjoyed the most.  Most of the artwork was done with a Wacom Bamboo tablet using Photoshop CS4.  I spent a good amount of time learning different drawing techniques -- painting the jar was my favorite.

Are there any hidden surprises?
Yes.  Try shaking iPhone/iPod when the jar is empty.  I call it the "hippy trippy" zone.
