Ooh I want to know how they did this! They used a video, Flash player and Actionscript 3 to make the video as it's playing, pan around in any direction you want with a mouse!

They're calling it "Interactive Video" and Papervision is being mentioned. Hmm, maybe I'll toy with Papervision this summer. :-) It's looking more and ( Read more... )

Basically, it started off explaining how non-linear stories, meaning stories that do not have a distinct start, middle and end to it or follow a straight line (this happens, then this, etc. Cause and effect) was not a new concept.

I made the penguin in Photoshop and brought it in as keyframes before making them symbols.

When you roll over the bubbles over the sleeping character, the bubbles reveal it's dreams, which are a burger, a computer that says "work" with a cross bones ( Read more... )

Ah, so the first week's homework is a self portrait, anyway we want, literal or abstract, analog or digital etc. I have NO idea what I was thinking when I drew this. (Possibly fruity pebbles?) This is my first attempt and I think I hate it. I may do something else...
