Week 4 Part 1

This week was mainly focussed on understanding the requirements of the final animation rather than learning new skills in flash. This was largely achieved with assignment 2, in which one of the most difficult tasks was dividing up the potential workload evenly between me and my team-mate: Ari. Because we were working off my concept, we decided I would direct and handle the more creative side of the project. This is largely done to maintain a consistent visual style throughout the animation. On the other hand, Ari will act as producer on the project, handling the slightly more procedural aspects, such as creation of the flash folio as well as the rendering and compositing of the animation.

A misunderstanding of what was meant by 'methodology' resulted in me detailing the different methods of animation for the two characters. While not intended as part of the assignment, this did prove useful in establishing how the character's personalities will dictate what techniques are used to animate them.
