ANIMATION AND ALL ITS GLORY!

So.....what else for this week?  Oh I know what!  I will post a picture of pluto and its moon charon and point out which one is which.  This is for you SERENA!

Okay the big one is PLUTO! The smaller one is its moon Charon.  Hope people get this. Serena I mean you!

ANIMATION AND ALL ITS GLORY!

So I finally got the music to sync up with my animation, or vice versa depending on how you look at it.  Am so happy that I don't have to deal with that any more.  But now I face a new problem.  At a certain point in the animation, one of my characters moves diagonally across the screen and when it does another arm appears in the corner when it is not supposed to.  Does that make sense?  Cause then when it plays Error 1009 pops up.  Don't know what it means....Ah well.

ANIMATION AND ALL IT'S GLORY!

This week is all "Work Day".  Which is a good thing because we (in my opinion, this may not be true for all but...) need all the time we can get to finish this final project.  I mean this is our final project!  So it counts a lot towards our grade and I would like to do really good on it!  Do we get points off if we don't finish the whole song?  I mean we have enough time to do so but still, on the off chance we don't do we get deducted points?  Hmmm....  Oh well.  Other than work days we don't have much to do.  I feel like a drone.  Programed to do something over and over again.  Never doing anything new.  It is mind numbing....  Slams head on desk, "Grr.  Am not a robot!"  Rubs forehead; ow.

ANIMATION AND ALL IT'S GLORY!

Here's a list of animated films I like;

• Princess Mononoke
• Spirited Away
• Howl's Moving Castle
• Laputa: Castle in the Sky
• Whisper of the Heart
• The Cat Returns
• Ponyo
• Kiki's Delivery Service
• Thumbelina
• Pokemon 2000
• Pokemon Spell of the Unknown

Okay this is really random but I was watching "Mary Poppins" on DVR yesterday.  I watched the scene when Mary Poppins is pulling things out of her carpet bag.  How the heck did they do that?  I mean this was 1964!  Although I could definitely tell the difference between the animated scenes and the live scenes.  A green screen would be great!  Poor animators back then! hahah! okay I'm done.  More for next week.

ANIMATION AND ALL IT'S GLORY!

I saw the promo for Tim Burton's new movie, "Dark Shadows".  And of course it has Johnny Depp staring in it; not that I mind.  I thought the movie looked really funny with some romance and dark humor.  Did everyone see the end credits where it says, "Coming out in..." and someone got glomped?  Never mind I just thought that way interesting.  What else for this free blog?  Here are some pictures of the movie.

Epic face!

Peek-a-boo!  I see you!

ANIMATION AND ALL ITS GLORY!

Okay have a problem.  When I am listening to my final project just on flash itself the audio and the images I have set up works.  When I play it in test mode, its off by 3-4 seconds which are crucial!  How, if anyone knows, do I fix it?  Help would be really appreciated.  Other than that the project is moving slowly but surely.  Although its been like 2hrs of grinding my head against a cheese grater.  Miss. Licata said that if you don't have patience for this and hate doing the same thing over and over again this may not be the career for you.  I hope not.  I don't want to go through this class with the possibility that I wasted Ms. Licata's year teaching me.  GAH! okay end of rant. Keep fingers crossed for good weather!
