Video production

Well I decided to get started on my Flash animation. Firstly I decided on the background to use, and since my poster had a crumpled paper effect, I decided to transition that into my Flash animation as well.


That done, I imported the illustrations that I had picked out from my poster earlier. Converting them all into movie clips, I set up the frames and with motion tween, managed to create some movement.

Teh Tarik

Nasi Lemak

The words are also added to emphasize the illustration and is I did it in the colours of the Malaysian flag to show the unity in Malaysia.

Lastly, a slogan to create. Thought of plenty but decided to go with Food Brings Unity. It shows how us Malaysians can bond and unite over something as simple as food and it gives a common ground to all of us despite of racial backgrounds.

So I added a new frame and using Text tool, typed out the chosen slogan and set it to comes in from the sides.


So there you go! My first attempt at Flash and although it's very, very, very basic we all had to start somewhere and hopefully it'll get better with more practice :)

Production of Motion Based Poster

To start off with my assignment, I decided to choose two illustrations from my first poster to focus on. 

Teh Tarik and Nasi Lemak. *drool*
I choose these two as it is very well known to be Malaysian's much loved food no matter of age nor race, and yes, no need to comment on my drawings, I'm aware I'm no Picasso XP

So these will be the main symbols in my Flash video. More progress coming soon!

Ideation for Dynamic Motion Based Poster

So for my second assignment I have to do a dynamic motion based poster based on the poster I already did for the first assignment 

My poster :)

I started out with sketches of what I  might do in Flash.



It'a really basic, but taking consideration my VERY limited knowledge in Flash, I decided not to get ahead of myself by doing something that is way too complicated for me to carry out.
