Assignment write-up

For this assignment we were supposed to continue on with our previous assignment and correct any flaws concerning the script. I really didn't know what I should fix except the option buttons at the bottom of the swift, so that's what I really worked on. I didn't really change what was there before because they were working, but I did add on to what was there. Nothing major was done to my last project.

Assignment write-up

In this previous project we had to really learn how to affect the timeline with movie clips and use movie clips within movie clips. To solve this problem I simply came up with the the idea of a game that the viewer will attempt to play and win. However, the gamer will find out shortly that it's a back talking game that doesn't allow the user to win. I thought that this idea would prove to be comedic approach, while solving the problem as well. I hope that the rest of the class feels the same.

My 3 Krunk ideaz- Hardly

My first idea begins with exploring video games as a way of communicating social issues.


The second idea would be using art as educational devices.
For Instance

The third idea is how does one compare traditional art with net.art.

Assignment Write-up

In doing the revised flash animation that we continued on last week, was a lot easier than two days ago for the simple fact that I've gotten use to the controls or comments that work and don't work. I hope that the animation still portrays what I initially wanted it to last Tuesday. So far I have a pretty good grasp and comfortable position with action script.

This project was very confusing for me to do. I had a lot of difficulty with the commands or comments. I understand now how to get action script to work properly, but that's because of a lot of trail and error instances. I didn't use the x-scale and y-scale or try to change the x and y axis of a movie clip, because the project started to appear like a list to me. Besides I didn't really know where to put it. My concept was to use natural food, which is an apple that changes into something we all know apples are used for and vise versa with the orange juice. However, I didn't quite get that point across with the orange juice bottle.

Assignment Write-Up

This assignment wasn't too difficult to perform, but like Jill stated I had to use to errors and going back and figuring out what I was doing wrong. I wish I would have been able to figure out how to combine actions. I did my project very simple and short for the mere purpose of learning how to use action scripts. I had no problem with the buttons or composing so I feel pretty good about what I covered in my short animation.

A computer program is technology that allows it's user to use anything that the program has to offer whenever. It gives the user the ability to create something a lot easier without actually doing it the hard way.

Assignment Write-Up + Assignment questions

This assignment wasn't too difficult but very time consuming. For this assignment I wanted to use the flash animation that I presented last class, to help push the idea of connection in my new presentation. I was afraid it wouldn't express the same visual interest as before, but I wanted it to be used. What are your ideas on using early projects again? I also, continued using text build my composition, which was the tedious aspect of the project basically. Other than that I tried to incorporate as much material in this final project as I could without overdoing the idea. My intentions for the flash animation was to recreate the act of watching a video and mimic with my own logo's and opening trademarks until the opening of the movie.

Is there a way of reshaping that practice to this new set of tools you have learned? I think that by using what I know from my previous practices have influenced what I do with this new set of tools. When I think about the reshaping aspect of my practice, I feel that this new tool becomes very useful when trying to communicate my artwork in a sense chronological motion or stages. This form is my way of filling in the gaps that previous practice could not fill.

How do these tools enforce a different working environment from that of traditional practice? Well in this practice everything is more opinionated than before. It also destroys the kind of boundaries or limitations that one might come across using the traditional method. For instance, conforming all your forms to a grid. That method may help in the designing aspect of a artwork overall, but this new tool takes away actually having to do such a thing. That's what makes this new tool more flexible and widely used.

For the last assignment I tried to really work with the making the symbols or characters appear to be moving. I didn't focus a lot on masking because I feel that I have a good understanding from the last project. The overall idea for my project was to illustrate my idea of Phone connection and what it would look like as a digiscape. I'm pleased with the results, I also wish I would of pushed other elements with the background and shape tweens. Overall the project was moderately difficult to perform and it was time consuming and tedious. I do want to go back and make alterations if allowed the opportunity.

This assignment was difficult for me because I didn't remember some of the key-strokes that we went over in class to get certain results. I did a landscape basically with the sun moving and sky changing colors. I wanted it the animation to have a windy feeling about it. So that explains the trees swaying. I made a lot of attempts to make a gradient change in the sky but that didn't happen quite like I wanted it to. I also tried the a masking-shape tween-along a path and that failed too. So I'm hoping to learn what I did wrong so I will be able to use what I learn in class more productively outside of class.

The landscapes websites that I visited are here below.
