So, the last blog for the last project after the last day of this surprisingly exhausting class. I used the Kuler system to identify my color scheme which was: 3ED5E8, 3538FF, 00FF2E, DCE81C, FFB20D, and FFFFFF.

Anyway I altered the rotation and y-axis easing on some of my motion animations (i.e. the dolphins and boulders) to make my video game themed movie a little dynamic. However I wasn't able to use the audio resource with my computer (or my father's) for some odd reason of which I don't know. All of my movie symbols are new. Also I wasn't able to do all that I promised I would in my story board, so there had to be a little revising. And that bent over sausage is really a candy cane, just so you know. And I gave all my symbols their proper instance names (dolphin_mc, go_btn). I put in all the things that were required of me. The armatures I used were for that bending candy-cane shape (looks like a slumping sausage) and the combination of symbols that looked like a dragon. I mostly used the line, oval and square tool as merge drawing because that is what I work with best. I also used my bitmap picture as a background image. Here are the measurements I used.
Color Threshold: 120.
Min. Area: 20 px.
Curve Fit: Smooth.
Corner Threshold: Few Corners.

Also I used a lot of in symbol animation so I wouldn't have to deal with the running frame by frame animation which was constant in my animation.
But other than this I had somewhat of a good time. My only regret is the success I've had on my online quizzes. I just know I've always had a few problems with vocabulary. But other than that, I've had a really good time, I got to know a little more about CS4. I also learned that my strengths lie in character, location and objects design as well as themes for that design. Anyway, my movie is on the finalproject.johnburns_movie blog. Be sure to look at it.
