the FINAL blog post

What I did? I finalized my project, and confirmed with my professor that it would be okay to use the project with the watermark when I submitted it to my wordpress. I also finished the powerpoint that I will be using to aid in the showing of my “film” Why I did it? Well, my […]

Final Blog Post!! (4/27)

So for my final Remix a Story (and class) blog post, I would like to revisit my original calendar that we made on 4/13. According to this calendar, initially my goal for today was to complete the animation. Well, this was a very ambitious goal. Luckily I started my animation yesterday, and I am about […]

producing the princess project

What I did? Today I finished my video! I switched the music for the background, edited the photos to all be black and white so they transitioned better, and then saved the entire preview to my computer. Why I did it? I wanted to finish my section of the video early so that I could […]

4/24 Progress

What I did….. Today, and since last class, I have really been trying to get all of the work I will be doing in illustrator our of the way. This includes illustrating complex scenes and objects that will get transformed in Flash, typing out all the credits and spell checking names (there is no spell […]

Revision Plan

Today I showed my peers my work and they enjoyed the film. They gave me positive feedback, as well as constructive criticism that I was able to use to edit my project. They agreed that I should have a constant theme, a similar font throughout. They also said that I should focus (and transition) between […]

4/22 Peer Review

Peer review went really well today. We got to talk out some of the issues we were facing in our projects-three brains are better than one, right? I was originally nervous that people wouldn’t really get the concept behind my project. So, as an introduction to my project I showed a little clip from the […]

4/20 Progress

What I did… Today we signed up for presentation slots and continued to work on our project. I continued to design my animation. Two of the big things that I was able to get done was the Warner Bros logo, which was painstaking, and creating fire from vectors. I actually enjoyed designing the fire because […]

adding music

What I’ve done? I made a sources document, as well as downloaded multiple pieces of free music that I could use for the background and introduction to my project. Why I’ve done it? At the end of my “preview” I’m going to have to list credits, and this does not just mean, the actor’s name, […]

4/17 Online Class

Documentation Plan I have been thinking about how I am going to document my assets and sources. Since my project is already going to be a credit sequence, I need to decide how to cite my sources in an appropriate manner. I am thinking that I will include my own name in the main animation. […]

4/15 Story Board & Progress

Today I have my rough draft story board to share on my blog. It may not make much sense to someone who may try and follow along, but the sketches help me visualize what I need to be creating in Flash. Unfortunately these scenes are snapshots of an animation, so the transitions  were left out. There […]
