The moment I saw Barbara Adler perform her slam poetry I instantly became inspired. Having had lots of trouble trying to decide what to do I was overwhelmed with joy when she happily gave me permission to use her poetry in this assignment. My ideas changed and became more concrete at the same time.
At first I really wanted to incorporate my photography into the project, but then realized that this would not work well with this poem. I wanted to focus on the words. Keep things crisp and clean. I also decided to challenge myself with the kinetic type. You see, while I am very comfy using Adobe Lightroom and CS4, I had never opened up Flash before this class. Needless to say I did not pick up flash in a flash. I found it very tricky but after a while I think I got a bit of a hang of it.
Although my project is not perfect, I’m quite happy with it. I would have liked for the sound and text to be more synced up but I am still figuring out how to do that. I am hoping to improve these lacking skills and go back to this project and make it better. Hope Barbara likes it!
After watching others work, I realized just how much you can do in flash! The possibilities are endless! Now, I just need to figure out how to upload my flash to YouTube without it getting corrupted.
