Hey, this is just a brief message to say check out my new photography stuff @ tomedson.deviantart.com - and please leave comments and constructive critique!

I'm also working on a flash based Photography website which I'll post the link up here when I'm happy with it!

I also desperately need to post up all my identities work and my second life review - aghh been so busy.

Finally I've done my best to watch more films that safe to your retinas over the festive period so film reviews will also be on the way, just gonna get through the rest of the stack until i decided what to waffle about on here!

Merry Christmas!

As youtube or blogger won't allow flash content to be uploaded i cannot post my finished product here, however you'll get it here on deviantart.com... http://tomedson.deviantart.com/art/Skate-or-Die-105811255

Below is a rough draw out of my idea for the interactive narrative project:

My next project in the 'Narratives' set of work is to create an interactive narrative using Flash! Which means thinking of a scenario/plot. Creating all the potential images (time for some serious Photoshop action), and oh yeah...learning Flash! I am actually quite looking forward to this project as it should prepare me for some greater challenges outside of my University work. After the initial seminar and having a quick play around it is evident that Flash is very powerful. Although not quite the friendliest of programs, sort of like a third world dictator...without a moustache.

After viewing previous examples of work I've come to the following conclusions:
I want to use computer generated/edited images, not photos (just seems to fit better)
Having an in-depth plot seems more important than flashy (no pun intended) moving things
Quantity over 'some' quality (as regards to the images) might actually improve the quality of narrative

The plans will be up soon!

I have never been able to get my original one-shot film to turn out exactly how i wanted it to despite the amount of variations I produced. I decided to try and film, star in, and basicaly do everything for a one-shot film.

The result:
