Update.

Posted in Honours Project on April 4, 2008 by chrisyoung77

Thought it was time for a quick update on the progress of my honours project.

My written work is coming along nicely, currently sitting at approx 4000 words, and according to my supervisor its looking good.

Main progress of late has been the actual practical side of things.  After encountering some problems with file sizes and sound, I decided to switch the final output of the animation from .swf format to 3gp.

The switch to this format has also allowed me to create the animation at 25fps instead of 12fps which my handset was restricted to. This means the animation can now incorporate both motion and shape tweens, and it also allows for the inclusion of gradients.

Still alot of work still to complete, the recording of the narrative, inclusion of sound effects and relevant soundtrack needs done.  Also some scenes need to be converted so that all the animation is included when exporting.

Preview below.

 Whilst digging around my hard drive, I found some footage that I created nearly 2 years ago using After Effects 6.5 and some Photoshop filters.  From memory, I think I followed a tutorial in Computer Arts magazine, then modified the filters to get the desired effect I was looking for.

No Sound on the clip.
