Week 11

In this weeks tutorials we continued learning about the Flash Folio. We have basically completed our folio and so far no dilemmas. *fingers crossed*

We still haven't managed to get the videos off the camera. Gerald had offered to give it to us, as he had to buy a chord for that camera. We will be getting it off him shortly, as this week has been stressful with other assignments and we keep missing eachother in the CAD suite. Meanwhile we have been working on some of animation in Flash. Basically perfected the walk for both of the characters and other small scenes. Hopefully we can get the video soon so we can make sure we're doing everything right. Next week we have to find out how to cover the signs up so we can cover with or own. We will film the last scene tomorrow on my camera- hopefully it will be a similar size.

Seeing as this is the last major assignment for my subjects, I will definitely be concentrating on this assignment from now on. Time seems to fly by when you need it so we will be devoting a lot f it every day on working on the animation.

Week 10

In the tutorials we were taught about Web Page design for our Flash Folio. I already knew some of this but it was good to get touch ups and write it down, because I've forgotten a fair bit of it. Me and Nella want to start working on it now, so we can have everything done soon and just concentrate on the animation more.

We have filmed the most part of our animation in the David Jones foodcourt toilets. However, we still have the last scene to shoot, as security kicked us out. I will have to call management and get their permission to film the last scene. I also had trouble getting it on the computer, as there was no cord. For the time being we put it on a VCR and Nella has a converter which will make it into a CD and we can put it on the computer from there. Josh is also trying to find a different was to put it on the computer so hopefully that works.

We have also almost finished making the characters on Flash, just need touchups. So we will get started on the animation immediately.

Promo Package

These were two of my promo posters and my DVD cover.

I am generally pleased with the outcome. The production stills could have been improved. I am most happy with the DVD cover. At first I wanted to use a plaque for the title with the writing looking engraved. However, I decided to opt for a floral text. Instead of using a floral font I added a few brushes. Looking at it now, I realise the font and brushes could blend better. I like the use of nagative space and the shadow.

Week 9

Promotional Package

I have made some posters to show the teachers today. They have suggested that I change some things around, which I completely agree with after printing it off. I had black swirls on the poster which detracted the attention from the focal points and looked like ‘too much.’ I am now worried because I’m not sure how to change the poster to make it looks good. Josh suggested incorporating the swirls into the title, which is a good alternative to the previous ‘metal plate’ title. I will keep working on this and altering the poster to represent a romantic comedy about two toilet signs to hang up tomorrow.

Week 8

More Progress...

This week I was ill so didn;t come to the tutorials. I asked some friends in the class what happened, and was informed that basically the tutors just walked around and helped people with their work in progress. This would have been helpful to help with both the animation and promotional package.

However, I have been working on it. I decided to make the background pink and white with a circle gradient. It would have been good to leave it white, and maybe have the writing rd and characters black, but I thought I would do something a little more original. I have also incorporated a rose and some flowers, making it in the typical romantic style. We have developed the characters for the promotional package and for the animation. The characters in the animation will be similar, but less simple so easier to animate. We made the man wearing a suit, and the woman wearing a skirt. This definitely looks better than before, however I am just worried that people may not understand that they are toilet signs. But if we work on it a bit more, it should be OK.
