Back in 1999, whilst exploring the capabilities of programming in Flash 4, I made a kind of video editor that I called Psycho Studio.
This little app allowed you to edit the shower scene from Hitchcock’s classic film Psycho and to save your efforts into a gallery. When I look at the code now, well, it’s bad. It’s full of workarounds and hacks to actually get it to work - remember this was before you could do video in Flash. But the point is it still works and still delivers an entertaining experience. It was even nominated for a Webby!
Occasionaly I think about doing a complete rewrite but the thing is, what’s the point? Eight years on from its first appearance it’s still going strong.
