Week 3B

In class today there was a small tutorial in the beginning to give us a better understanding of flash before we started on the second half of the assignment. After that we had in class work time to work in which ever program we wanted to work in.

I worked on the flash portion of the assignment and the video above is what I got done in class. Originally during ideation to be different than my after effects piece I was listening to classical music and instrumental since the other part had a pulsating beat of music like pop. I ended up listening to instrumental music of a fireworks show I had on my ipod. The actual rhythm of the music was too complex to illustrate in such a small span of time, so I thought why not instead create rhythm out of fireworks. The boom and crack of fireworks create their own rhythm as does the shapes they make.

I was able to receive feedback during class which included adding a few more fireworks on the end and maybe adding a few in the background without streamers on the ends. I plan to work on these suggestions out of class.
