Class presentations

We presented our work-to-date to the class last week. Everyone is doing something different and everyone has done a good job so far.

I got some good feedback, and some good constructive points were bought up. I am going to try and put a box behind the text I have throughout the computer process, and also to keep it in the same spot each time. I am also gong to have some sort of pause in the anmation where people can stop and read so that there arent too many focus points for people to concerntrate on.

Robin also disliked the "preachy" part where I tried to cram in the actual elements of the design process. I was worried that my project was too computer instruction based as it was, but apparently it doesnt seem to matter. Instead, I have cut that text and will try to put it in at places throughout the computer animation so that it links to the visuals on the screen as opposed to just being pure text.

The point about it being in distinct seperate parts was also bought up, some people thought it would be best to have a bigger link between the parts, while others suggested almost the opposite by having it as two seperate movies in it's own right. We shall see.

They didnt seem to mind the jumping between screenshots either which is good because that was one area that was giving me real grief.

I also must not forget to do the 2x 100 word pieces.

I should be able to finish it without any probelms at school tomorrow. I am house sitting at the moment which renders me Flash-less so I would have liked to have finished it before class but it should be OK still.
