Week 9.

With only a few weeks left,  the project is a GO GO GO! This week I am really pleased that we have managed to collate all our graphics and sound clips we wish to use and also we had another shooting day which went really well. Below is also examples of work before and after discussions with group and tutors;

Here's the start of the process in replicating the DOOM bar;

Within Final Cut Pro, we will animate the bar so that the faces will change every so often.

This is the health bar from Street Fighter, we will animate this so that when Player 1 is hit by the Hadouken, the health depletes and the KO image will appear similar to the image shown below.

(the Hadouken we will use)

Here's an image manipulated through a timely process of importing/exporting numerous times due to lag in Flash. Below shows the main protagonist curled up to represent the ball in pong. Here you can see we manipulated the background so that it acted like a green screen. In final cut pro we will use the Chroma key so that we can incorporate our 'ball' to our footage ;

To achieve the 'spin', we nested the 300 odd png files and changed the speed in final cut pro to achieve the above clip. we nested the images so that it remained as 1 file within the timeline without any gaps. 

Whilst thinking about our project we are still in the process of how to creatively show our final project, today I came up with the idea of having a flash player embedded within a PSP interface where the user can press the buttons to start/pause/stop/<</>> and so forth. Below is a mock-up of how it will be realised;

From watching We Live in Public, I saw similarities to a site that hosts Little Sister which is a cctv drama and 24hr online surveillance soap (2000) which similarly as WLIP focuses on voyeuristic networking technology;
