Cucumbers Tragedy

Friday we we had finished the animation.

The animation explain the case of spanish cucumbers, on May of 2011. The history is narrated for a children audience, then the target of our animation is kids that wants to know what happened with the spanish cucumbers.


Ivan and I we evaluated the final result very well because animation is very showy. we thought about good and bad things about animation and we have come to the conclusion that the animation is good because we can see a nice animation, with diferents characters, diferents scence, and variety of animation aspects. On the other hand we know that in this animation could be more characterizations of characters, maybe is a bit childish but if the target of the animation are children, is well.

Ivan and I have learned more (a lot) about flash, about final cut, about to record voice for the animation, etc.

Edit and Finish the project

Today I have edit the final video with final cut, has been dificult to gather audio and image, but but has been ok.

In the next post I will post the final video with personal valuations (good and bad things) about the animation.

Flash animation got feelings

Hi,

Today we have made the cucumber cry, stage 2 (city) and police movement.

Today we talked to Sonia and she told us we need to improve the animation of the characters, like arms movements, eyes, cucumber tears...


This afternoon we will finish the script and we will record the voice of the animation.

The project begins to take shape

Today we have begun to work a lot with the flash, Ivan is great with this program and help me a lot to understand all the interface.

We have draw the map, and we have begun to animate the characters.

I will post photos and more info later.

The idea:

The first idea is recreate the situation of the spanish cucumber.
The small history will be told with humor and explain the situation of cucumber in Germany. The history will explain the event about the spanish cucumber, the virus, and the german reaction.
All of this will explain with a nice animation which the protagonist will be a cucumber.
