Week 6 - Flash Presentation
Today session is fun ^^… After a whole week of flash assignment, today we can enjoy the flash from the whole class. I was really impressed by some of the flash presentation… Cant keep my eyes off from the screen from the beginning.. hahaha.. The flash I like most is the Reverse-Auction flash. The flow of the presentation is good and easy to understand, accompanied with a matching song :)Since we didn’t really have a lecture today (but with a quiz next week) let me talk about the making process of our own flash: Cupid’s Secret
1. The brainstorming started right after we were given the assignment. A lot of ideas were listened and considered. At the first time, there was a confusion, whether we need to make it looked professional, to attract potential investor, or should it look attractive and funny, to attract the audience? Eventually, we manage to come to the deal that it should be the mixture of both.
2. After the finalization of the idea, we still have to justify it with our ability in flash. All of us are beginner, thus we really need to study hard for it, and had to forgo some of our idea, due to the limitation of resource.The making of the flash started 1 week before. We spent a lot of time in the making process (which is absolutely more than 10 hours), and still have to continuously learnt along the way.
3. Selecting songs really not an easy part (special thanks to Albert for it). I tried to get some flash effect tutorial from website. The website referred by Prof (kirupa.com) is really a fun site to learn flash. :) There is one effect that I love most: how to make an object fade and disappear.. We only need to change alpha colour for it.. Such an elegant way for me.. Haha.. but really, once you began flash, u will be addicted to it.
4. The first draft of the flash was finished on Sunday, and then come the editing part. We watched for the flash several times, on different players, and find out that the flash is actually slower in Internet Explorer, while it looks just nice in Flash player ^^;.. We eventually need to edit the whole background music. It just finished right before the lab session. Thanks so much for the good team work :D
