2D Animation

For my Animation work for Julian I am in the stage of recreating Serene Bransons face in photoshop I have done pages of research and have a schedule which is going to plan, I hope to start animating this week, Last friday we pitched our ideas to Julian I did alright it wasnt the best pitch in the world but I got all my points over and what I'm going to do, I hopefully should have finished my Animation in a few weeks.

Client Work

For my Client work for Tim we have filmed Matt White at White Engineering using a machine that cuts Aluminium billets into a finished product.We have a ten minute video of the machine in action from the billet before and afterwards, unfortunately Matt didnt want his voice on the video so we have done a voiceover each me Adam and Zac have done a paragraph we are now editing the video and putting the voiceover with it, we should be finished.

Bone Tool AS3

Using the Bone Tool in flash AS3 you can animate movieclips together.

Worst Game Ever Review

In my opinion the worst game ever is Minecraft, not only is it boring and nothing happens in it, you spend hours making a village that you will never use or anybody will ever see, the whole game is made out of cubes the land is never ending and the game is a complete drag, people could argue that the game is for creative people but if it were why don't the people that play it just go and make a game or graphic or something that could make money or that people would want.

AS3 Game

We have been set by Julian to make a game in actionscript 3 in Flash it must be fully functioning and at the right audience, the Beta to the game will be uploaded as soon it as done, the deadline for this work is about 3 weeks from now.
Will keep updating as work progresses buts thats all for now.

Research

In the Media Industry there are many things that are needed to be taken into account:

• The average pay of a web designer hourly is £20-£50
• For a student it would be £5-£10
• Detailed research is needed into the target audience
• Ethical issues, a student taking work from a professional that may change the industry
• If you cant reach the deadline dont take the project, because you will have to pay compensation due to the companies loss because your work wasnt in on time
• Never turn down a job if you are finding it difficult to complete the work get some help in
• Negiotation a budget on work before work has even started

Drag and Drop Games Reviews

The first game I played was a game that you had to navigate the mouse around a course in order to progress to the next level, it is pretty good has different levels and as each level goes on the game gets harder, it is quite an addictive game and it doesn’t go on for so long that the player gets bored of it, the audience of the game is probably for teenagers 15+ because it solves boredom and you can play it for as long as you like.

The second game I played was a lot worse than the first this game was boring and easy had no challenge factor at all, the only thing you had to do was drag the words onto the picture, the game was probably meant for younger players in order to teach them simple words, the game definitely isn’t for ages above 8-10.

The third game I looked at was simple to the second but with a few more options this game had more pictures it was just a more advanced version than the word game, you had to match the colours with the pictures in order to progress through the game, the game once again is probably for the younger audience maybe being for up to 12 years old.
