Day 34

Well, we have almost completed our animation. We were still left with the animating of the puppet where she would pull the credit screen down but to make thing easier, we decided to make the chibi puppet pulling down the credits instead. And decided to drop the idea of animating the puppet when Yi Chuin was talking against the computer.
Changes were made to save our time but still being able to portray and convey the same message that we wanted to put across.Then again, I remembered Vivien having to stand and hold the notepad for like thirty minutes and she couldn't really move at all. I also helped Vivien to flip the pages whereas Yi Chuin was taking photo of the credits. It was definitely tough and tedious but worth it. My arm became numb afterwards from supporting Vivien's hand.
And I must comment on Aaron on the fact that he had done a good job in cutting the long video into 11 min short. Go!! Just 2 more min down!

Anyway, Vivien was told to find the sound for the flicking of the puppet, where the stone would fall and the puppet hitting the 1m painting and many other more. It was indeed very tough having to find these sound effects as usually if we were to find the one that we liked, it wouldn't be free. While Vivien was searching for the sound effects, Yi Chuin and I were actually importing the photos that we took for the credits to be transferred into the computer.. However, the size of the photos were too big that they had to edit and adjust the size of the image in order to be able to edit the photos in flash. This actually took like an hour or so to re size everything due to the fact that we had 144 frames to do. Aaron was still editing the video. In the blink of an eye, it was 12 plus and Vivien and I had to rush for the last bus to catch. I missed my last bus thou...
