Workflow

Working feverishly while I'm motivated to do so. I got the rush yesterday, sort of like the night-before-the-project-is-due-and-you-haven't-started-yet rush, except that I still had over a week, and I had already started.
But I like the rush. S'productive.

Keep on changing ideas for this project.
My original direction was to have been an online comic, no motion, no sound, just images and text, with an advance button as navigation.
Then I thought it would be cool to have it displayed in flash, and set up as a comic book, with screen, still static in content, but which would have to be moved around with a mouse to read the separate panels/boxes. I liked the idea of hand drawn elements being animated via flash.
Lots of drawings, getting bored with my idea, story isn't panning out.

Photographs! High speed shooting allows me to create non-video movement. Much smaller sizes than video, can be displayed with animated gifs or QuickTime or flash...

Hmm, they aren't narrative enough for me.

Bring the two together?
Flash element to display character content and background, load image sequences... either with flash or QuickTime.
Now I am working around the idea of a stationary frame containing my character (read: alter ego), presenting the image sequences cut to audio with on-screen text dialogue.

We'll see. In like twelve days.
