Semi Final

Due to unwelcome circumstances, I was able to do a not so finished project.

The narrative project that I've worked on is based on a show called Dr. Who.  Instead of using the actual characters from the series I decided to replace them with my pets.  Dr. F and M, they are actual animals so please they won't give you an autograph! (hahaha).

What I tried to accomplish on the narrative is to make the viewer select their way into different scenarios; the doors will lead to the end of a planet, or to a fight against the most hated villain.

So I hope you enjoy this tiny bit of my work.  I will be posting the finished product soo!


Dr. F and M's traveling in to another time.


P.S. I also might mention, having big vector art is not wanted on Flash (keeps force closing), so the second route to import my gigantic environment was to rasterize them (a horrific view).

The Happening

Here are the pieces of work that have been troubling the making of the narrative....

 

The Elusive Big Idea

In my opinion the article is correct, art is in a tragic state because everyone wants to feel comfortable and not take the challenge to make something different.

It's seen everywhere, every photographer I've seen wants to go edgy, by showing nudity or even doing the usual commercial/modeling photographs.  Its been done already, we need to get out of the rut and produce more than the usual!  It's time to go further into what the past has given us and evolve it into a new age or artistic thinking.

I think people should get off the internet (facebook) and stop relying on friends for feedback.  These people rely on them to tell them, they are doing a good job and to keep working on this "trendy" thing.  How is that ever going to improve your skill when you might not even dare to go further than what's out there.

It takes time and research to figure out who you really are behind the machine!

As I finished this project I feel a little more accomplished in figuring out how to animate symbols.  A fun and easy process, and a great way to use it for a future time.

So here is my final product Mr. Mistofelees!

Oh yeah! I'll probably further invest my time in making Mr. Mistofelees colorful or something else.

In addition...

I got the chance to put up my new work for flash.  It's not yet finished but soon it will be, as long as I get to fix some of the animation (grrr for the speed!), I think I'll be happy!

Her is my: Flash work

Here it is

Well, I'm done with the ToolKit, I'm just having difficulty trying to show my logo.  For some odd reason it's saying, "You don't have permission to access /~cfrutis/toolkit/images/logo2.png on this server." I guess I might ask those out there if you can lend a hand in solving this problem.

ToolKit

As I've been working on updating the toolkit, it's been difficult to multitask and post on the blogger. I need to make blogging a habit (just like when you practice to draw you must try and try again!).  So as you can see, I'm up on a Sunday/Monday making adjustments to my toolkit. I think it's going to come out pretty good (I hope so) but I'm still a little behind in finishing the notes and the flash page.  I'll post the link to finish site at a later time! (thank you for following my rants.)
