The Next Meeting

Hi Everybody!

I hope that everyone had completed their Professional Profiling or whatever it is that you were doing...

So since it is a 1 Week Break, David is hoping to meet with us and see where have we ended up...

So is next Thursday suitable for everyone?

Meeting 5

Our Working Title for this comic is "FinisFluxus" which means "Final Flow".

I have a Rough Idea about how our Website and Interface are going to be. We will be going for the Simple Approach. We will have a Border made up of the 2 City Logos on each side. We will also have Scene Selection at the Bottom. The Play Button can be activated by moving the Computer Mouse.

Animation
Each Panel will come into the Frame and leave it later. We could also use the Zoom Feature. If there is any Rock-flying, we could make them run over the Border for better Effects.

We also did a little Brainstorming. It is nice to have Stuff:

• Character Bio
• Location Bio
• Deleted Scenes
• How We did this Project / Documentation
• Map

Stuff To Do

Benjamin
1) You should start creating the Music for the Beginning / History Scenes.
2) Upload the Music online so that we can preview them and give some Constructive Comments.

1) Draft out the Storyboard. At least finish 3 Pages or Chapter 1 before next Thursday.

Stuff to think
Design interface
I was thinking of the history story told as a old scroll. It will just scroll endlessly till it the story ended. Then change to something else.

Background
we can do a long long landscape and pan them. It save us lots work.

Animations
We can use bluring to animate fast movments. Like some nija animations. We have to cheat. It save us lots work too.
