Xmas Break Work

Not posted in a week or so, because as you may very well have known, it was Christmas! And I was worked like a slave at work, and had to cram in time to shop, play with the nephews new toys, you know, the usual.
But, I have done some thinking and produced some things for this project.


The first thing I am going to post is a test for the instructional video for the audience explaining the pads. However, I would like to begin with my research into coding on Flash.
I watched about 6 or 7 videos about coding on Adobe Flash, read several introductions and had a go myself. I got as far as drawing a rectangle.... Coding is mental! It just seems like a mass of symbols and half-words! If one character is wrong, if a colon, a comma or a letter is out of place, NOTHING works! So after nearly giving myself a brain haemorrhage trying to get my head around it, I gave up to battle another day. I decided to focus on the instructional video...


The instructional video will do exactly as it is called; instruct the audience how to use the pressure pads and how this will create visual representations on screen.
Below is a short clip which I intend to build upon showing the screen animating.

My next step is to create a storyboard for the video, so I know exactly what shots and angles are going to work together to create the full video. I will also use some text or animated slides to link shots together which explain what is happening.
