final

After turning in my final project, I decided that I am going to add sound for each movie clip. Also i thinking i can do something more interesting with the intro tetris part. Maybe a rapid countdown, or instead of it just fading out, have it zoom into one of the empty block of color, where it is all black so that it will lead you into the next clip with the black background and the flickering panels.

interactive + text

So I've finished my interactivity + text project. I have not added sound to it, mostly because I don't know what i'd want for it. Still considering it though.

intro

So after making my movie clips with the color panels, i realized i needed a better intro. I went back to my story board idea with the falling tetris pieces and think it works pretty wel, however now my buttons dont work. I get a message saying

"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

The whole quote is "Chaos is a close friend of mine" by Bob Dylan. I forgot to include that in my last post.

interactivity progress

So far I have been working on just getting my movie clips made. I tried to make the buttons work, but they didn't so im going to wait and do that in the end.I started off making the panels of color flicker side by side, but have now changed it so they also change in size and position within their section.

interactive media

So i've been having a hard time comming up with a quote that i've felt I can design an interactive media project with. after narrowing it down a Jimi Hendrix quote and Bob Dylan quote, I've settled on the Bob Dylan quote "Chaos is a close friend of mine." I want to show the idea of the multitude of things that occur in our everyday life and the pressures that were often put under. I sometimes procrastinate things if I'm not particularly interest in the subject... as most people probably do. But as we all know with procrastination thing usually pile up until the very end until we have so much going on that we have time to think or sleep. But when pressure is on I can stay focused. If I have free time my mind will wander and I won't get as much done. That's why it's important for me to set realistic goals with reasonable time. But a lot of times I've noticed that a lot of times I work better under pressure because of the feeling that whatever I'm working on MUST get done, and soon. It's almost like an adrenaline rush through all the chaos of the situation.

interactive + text

For our next project we are using a quote or words and making an interactive animation using them. I've chosen a quote from Bob Dylan "Chaos is a close friend of mine." My other and actually first choice was a quote by Jimi Hendrix "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens" but i have been having a hard time thinking of how I can use that for an interactive animation.
