Back up work, Back up work, Back up work!!!

Area's that need work movement in bar and mountain scene, add cloud movement, work on leg movement work on the end, figure out what Lil red can do to kill wolf.


Process: When I started with the story Board, I had to big and to broad of an idea. Then I went to start by Red driving to her local bar to meet someone. I then changed it yet again and had Little Red go to her local bar by herself and Red was able to attack the wolf whom happened to be her local bartender.
I kept trying to find images that I liked and I just couldn't find anything. SO I ended up creating everything free hand in illustrator and importing it into Flash. I had so many layers.

My biggest problem with this project is every time I went to save a document the computer would absolutely freeze on me. It was so frustrating.

One thing that tremendously helped was watching cartoons. I don't watch much TV but when I was watching the cartoon network, I realized that flash is EVERYWHERE. I then was just watching my local TV show on Thursday night and I counted the number of Ad's that used even just a little bit of flash and I was amazed. Out of 16 ads during Grace Anatomy 12 of them used Flash in some way.

I think it is really cool to be able to look at a flash document and have an idea on how that was created.

Well that's it for now, I need to find a definition for Design. I will talk to you later.

Flash~Integrating sound
Transfer to an AIF file.
Keep the song with the File ALWAYS!
File Import Library/ Sync to Strain.
Bottom layer sound. More generic the better, drag sound to the stage and then set it as a key frame.

Here's a couple of images

I AM SOOO INCREDIABLY FRUSTRATED WITH FLASH!!!! JUST THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU KNOW!!! IN the mean time here are some still images I created for my presentation.
Marsha I downloaded most of my images that I used in Red Riding hood and they turned blue. So I guess this is Little red Riding Hood Smurf Style!

Driveing

Blah, Blah, Blah, I just got home from Mississippi and it I think is the longest drive in the WORLD!!! Not really but when there isn't anyone with you, it seems like forever.

Back to Little Red Riding hood. I have been looking threw pictures of Bars and I have watched cartoons, I am not used to being assigned to watch cartoons, but it is pretty fun, I have more of an idea on what I am supposed to do, and it makes since that most of the stuff stays still in an cartoon or at least the background does.

So as I create my bar scene, I have noticed that I am having a difficult time with perspective, I thought about just borrowing an illustration from a book or from somewhere else, but my problem with that is that every scene I have looks horrible when I make it larger, so I started to create another bar scene. O get the bar scene in and little red riding hood meets the guy and it looks good and then it is gone, it disappears, my computer has frozen up. That is what I have dealt with over the past 5 hours a frozen computer

It's gone, It's all gone :( :( :(! I can't believe my computer Froze!!!!!

Band-Aid

So I have been sitting in the libary for the past 2 hours thinking to myself how can I take a brand like Band-Aid and turn it into a interesting product. Turning the word itself into something just by the word and not shapes or illustrations. I have been looking through out the web and my mind is at a BLANK!!! Blah!

I am learning Flash Yeah!!!

I am sooo excited! I have wanted to learn Flash for a long time! I have never really understood how flash works. I have opened Flash before, but I have never really done any thing in it until just recently. Here is my first Creation in it...(Alright, so I will try to add the video later, its not wanting to upload, Am I sure I want to do this for a liveing! J/K)

I know it is very much a beginner thing, but I am so excited about what there is to come! I have started to read ahead in the book just because I want to learn more about Flash. I am also extremely excited about what there is to come!

I was searching the web and looking at some Flash videos the other day, and I came across this website, it is a design agency based in Sydney Australia, I was looking through there clients and I loved every single one of there clients websites. There main clients are hotels and resorts. Some of them are simple flash with very intensive illustration and some of them are intensive flash and illustration. Here is Addition.com

Mind Over Load

I was searching the Internet today and I found a really interesting site that I enjoy. The site is Veer. com , it has everything from Illustrations, photography and type in which you can purchase.

I am shocked with how much there is to learn and to know about the graphics world. Every time I search the Internet, I am fascinated with everything there is to see. I looked at Designcharts.com today and I am on brain over load. I sit here and look at all the flash technology and notice that I know nothing about flash. I guess you have to start with the basics of everything before you become an expert at it.

I also went to Wikipedia and typed in Flash. It tells a little bit of the history it helps me realize that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. Flash came out only in 1996 therefore it is sad that I am just now learning how to use it but at the same time, I know that if I just keep on learning and working on it, I will be able to do the same sort simple things that I have seen on the Internet. It give me hope.
