My Story Board

 These are my story boards a bit tatty but are what I was planning to make the comic from.

i used these even after I couldn't not make all the frames and images.

My Evaluation

I am a bit dissapointed with my comic, because I didn't not account for the time I had and had to change alot also I never added any of my buttons which I really wanted too!!. the story was shortened to well it doesn't really have an ended and looks half baked.
I am pleased how ever with the look I have achieved , the images look constant and in the same style. and all give the look I am trying to achieve. I eventually got used to flash and managed to make motions which didn't look cheep and tacky.
I ended up loosing one of the images which would of been a image which would have been zoomed into many times to achieve different looks of parts of the city, i ended up quickly drawing it on the last day, but was happy enough with the result.
If i had a week longer I reckon I could have completed it to the standard I originally wanted.

i wish i slowed down some scenes and finished one off ,
the scene with the helicopters flying out of the city should be slowed down
also the scene with the monster being shot in the city needed to be slowed down.
and that one with the monster should have faded with the smoke coming in.
I am very pleased that I managed to get to grips with flash and that i did manage to make the whole film very quickly once I got that hang of it.

I liked the fact i could contribute using hand drawn things and also use photo shop to add more colours or refine images , and i even learnt a style of drawing though it .

i enjoyed this project once it started to roll, and am glad I learnt how to use flash.


Callum and sasha did an evaluation for my comic

Evaluation of callum comic

I think the comic has a great colour balance being very attractive to watch, and in very interactive containing many buttons which bring you more into it and keep your attention focus.

However some of the speech bubbles do not show the entire sentence in it
so I  believe you should change this . as it will pretty much make it perfect

Some of my work

All the images below i drew in photo shop and turned the sections into png's so they could be manipulated.
The png file was useful because it allowed the images to have no back ground which made it easy to manipulate only the image and no back ground.


 This is an image i animated for the turret to turn on top of the tank.
I created this i photo shop and made all the area's separate and saved them as png's.

I put 3 key frames in one on the left one in the middle and one at the right.



first key frame

second key frame

Third key Frame(image will load if you click it.

an image idraw in photo shop imported to flash and added other images,planes . and explosions via flash tools.

explosions made through flash
involving many key frames which made the explosions look gradual. and more effective and ral in a why.

Lizard/Hippo

Lizard/Hippo

 This was the back ground image we worked up from.

Today we where given a totorial in mergeing  two pictures together makeing them look inplace on one another, we hot 2 images a hippos head and a lizard. we used the lizard as a back ground and put the hippos head in another layer and worked it into blending with the main image of the lizard . 
  

Use free transform, and then shift to move it at the same scale/proportion, then move over the head of the lizard I added an adjustment layer of colour balance.

 I added an adjustment layer of colour balance.  And Moved the colours ratios to +32 +82 -91. this was one of the best greens that went with the green originaly from the lizard.

Using a mask I deleted the removed and  faded parts of the hippo’s head to make it look more natural and in place.

Changing the opacity effected how strong the brush was

Using the stamp tool I covered over the nose with a section of the back ground.  Which covered up the lizard’s nose, covering it with a background

over all ithnk that is came out as well as i wanted because it looks all like one picture not loads of diffrent parts stuck onto a lizard.

this has also helped to progress my photoshop skills and i feel more confident using masks and adjustment layers.
