The beginning:

Started working on my graphics this week. It is a little overwhelming at this moment. I have so much work ahead of me. I am working in flash and am feeling a little rusty. I can’t really remember exactly what I did for the test scene. So, it’s a little bit of trial and error, but it is starting to come back. At the end of this work session, I started to move a lot faster and I got a good start on my background images. They look pretty plain right now but when I take them into Photoshop and shade/texture the images they will fit what I am looking for. I did run into one small problem. I am going to have to keep track of the colors I used somewhere so I can make sure that the continuity stays the same throughout. This is something that I haven’t even thought of until this point, but it is going to be very important.

Week One:

The hard thing about making this film is going to be managing my time. I will make time to work on my film in between my classes and try to work on it every night. At this time I am working a lot. I know that I am going to have to cut down and only work on the weekends. I plan on doing most of my work at home. It is easier for me to focus on my work when I am alone. Aside from this class I also am taking 4 other courses, so this is going to be challenging. I want to make this movie in a 2d style. I am not ready to make a film in 3d as of this time and 2d will give me the look that I am going for. At this time I feel comfortable with the software that I will be using to create my first movie. I feel confident is my skills. If everything works out I think that my first film will be very successful.
