Flash
So I was excited to see everyone's flash projects today! I liked mine for the most part, but see the critiques that were given, although i must admit that the thought of re-working it seems overwhelming. Unlike are other project which seem easier to manipulate and make changers to this almost feels like I have to start over. I know that this is not truly the case but still there is much work ahead. I can;t believe that we are winding down this semester because I still feel like there is a lot of work to be done. the booklet for example i have barely even touched since the rough draft. Anyway hope everyone else enjoys these next two weeks!

I think the feeling of "starting over" is universal regarding the flash project. My crit threw me off kilter and I just about felt like crying. Your movie is cute. If I remember correctly, you and I had the similar problems in that they were slow or shifty in parts. I hope you are making progress. Good luck!
Yes. I feel more overwhelmed now in this last stretch than ever. AHH.
These last few weeks have been the busiest of the whole semester for me! I actually did start over in Flash with my Flash project. It would have taken me twice as long to go in and edit each picture. But, I finished mine last night, so now I can get to the booklet (which I haven't even started designing).
Ohhh, weeee!! Now, Flash was a real challenge. I heard about Flash many times and never thought about it twice. Well, trying to learn this program was a bit of a task. I had Han's instructions but they only allowed you to zoom in, zoom out and fade basically. It took me hours of reading and stacks of books to understand how the program works. His presentation was fine but I with my "WHY" self found it hard to follow steps, and not understand why I was doing it. After about six hours of reading and playing with Flash, I finally understood timelines and keyframes enough to move forward. I say it was really learning the hard way. However, I think I could love to like this program under less stress and time constraints.
