15 Jun 2005 My First Flash Animation

.... Apart from the stuff I did for Nezis.co.uk, which could be argued as Flash animation...

I was told that I had to make a Flash animation for a job interview as a web developer, to show off what I am capable of. It was to be an animation on "How to make a cup of tea". This shouldn't take too long I thought... 28 hours later and I cobble something together for the interview. Suffice to say they liked it a lot.

How to make a cup of tea Note: the subtitles may be out of sync with the narration.

The thing is I'm not 100% happy with it. Sure it was hard work and a lot of fun to make, I just feel it could be so much better. Technically it's not even finished yet. The subtitles and other possible bugs must be fixed, I wanted to add music to the whole presentation, the milk doesn't come out of the bottle, I had to cut out some scenes because I ran out of time, and the guy at the end (which is supposed to be me, Grax) simply looks shit. So many things that I want to do to the animation... No wait, that's pretty much all I wanted to do.

I'm going to carry on working on it.

*UPDATE* - I've updated the animation. The things I did include fixing the narration/subtitle sync, animated the milk being poured, tweaked the shape of my head at the end, added some credits and I threw in an extra scene after step 7. Any problems please let me know.
