on the eve of the crit of 5/30

so i did a sample of what a finished product is to look like and am happy with it. i did a good job of using things that i can reuse to help quicken the rendering of these images. i have yet to do the samurai and salary man since these will be black silhouettes that are animated i need to take more time with them. i'm feeling comfortable, my expierence with illustrator gives me comfort that i'll be able to complete that part of the project with ease; however the flash and audio part of the project have me a bit nervous since this territory has barely been charted. But i don't think this is a bad thing, b/c this anxiety of getting to the unknown will push me to finish the parts i know quicker.

i look forward to crit tomorrow for feedback and a glimpse at the competition.

signing off

Hey Loomis,

I really like your project. Suicide seems to be a Japanese value. We saw it in the days of the samurai, during WWII, and appearenlty atleast once a week on the JR.

I know we talked about it before, but just keep it simple. Yeah animation is cool and is always possible if you've got the layers in illustrator. But we only have 3 weeks, and I think the most important thing you can do in that time is tell your story and get your audio. Is animation necessary to do that?

Looks like you are off to a good start tho. Just keep working at it. Either way you do it I'm sure it will come out well.
