Updates

Today I finally got some time to work on it. I know it's last minute, but that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about it!

I sliced the story board images and will be creating drafts for all of the web pages using those images for now and completely each page piece by piece. This will help map out the entire site on actual pages and get the coding out of the way.
Examples of the sliced images are below:


The final web address for the story: LINK

Attempts

Attempted using this site's coding for page transitions:
New ideas:
  • delayed link transitions - to give time for an animation to occur 
    • intro page - image of scene - click on hole - animation of getting closer to the hole/entering plays then it links to the new page
  • pg 2 - stop motion animation of clay creation of bug character - (create the character in reality)

    Brainstorming

    Website
    • Interactive, maze, story, adventure?
    • Improve java skills - http://www.javafile.com/
    • a virtual pet
    • Flash?
    • Animations that change based mood –processing examples
    • Robot in the garden? Communal plant
    • As people visit the webpage and feed/water the plan it grows, it can be trimmed as well by the users – page expands as the size of the plant does based on their input
    • Online radio
    • Page transitions
    Lights
    • Batman signal – spotlight
    • Concert light show
    Video
    • A fursona video – tell a story about a cat
    Graphic
    • Fairy series?
    • Fantasy series?


    Interactive story:
    • Underlining idea could be about cancer – but dress it up so it doesn’t DIRECTLY relate to it
    o It touches everyone
    o It comes in many shapes and sizes
    o Actions and attitudes against it
    o Distant (you never see it), no one really knows what it is
    o Robots (rust) quest to find CLR
    • A quest to navigate through webpages to find a new piece of information – there is no win or lose, it is solely exploratory – learning what happens when you take a certain path, how things can be the same or different
    • Idea of the project is to learn about using flash as a web device as well as learning some new tricks with java scripting – page transitions – possibly also learning how to create my own music digitally
    • “if cats could talk” – adventure of a kitty
