Friday August 27th: 6 HOURS Spent today redoing the Flash Intro. Laura wanted a few specific things to happen and after speaking I was better able to see her vision. This is what I ended up with. Here I am just showing how I would animate one of her ideas. This week I will be fine tuining the Intro.

Thursday August 26th: 6 HOURS
Today I began animating the intro for the Mulberry Site. It should have taken me alot less time but I did run into a few small obstacles, all part of the learning process I suppose. Practice makes perfect!
I have posted the clip here and it is currently being sent for approval. There are a few tweaks I would like to make, for it to be perfect and if approved I will continue working on it. If not...back to the drawing board then.
I also recieved a great gift today, from the Owner of Mulberry Media. In addition to a borrowed book on action script she also got me a months membership @ Lynda.com. It's amazing! Gladly I have tons of reading and researching to fill my time over the school break.

Unfortunatly, due to a morning meeting today I had a late start. I really wanted to attack the Bougeois site and begin brainstoriming way to make it work. After hours of smashing my head against the wall i gave up. The theme just does not seem to work with the overall vibe for the site. It seems rather conflicting and after a few hours I gave up and decided to focus on something else. I would rather have a finished product than a unfinished thought. I began to focus on the Mulberry Intro in hopes that the Bourgeois problem would come to me.
I began to crop some key images from Mulberry media and import into Flash and sent an email to Laura.
She let me know that they had also been having problems with the Bourgeois theme and may have to scrap it and come up with something new.
Although frusterating, I am really beginning to understand that sometimes even though you loe the idea, sometimes you just have to start over and begin again.

Today I worked on Paulette Bourgeois site. I had recieved a flash file which was running way too fast. I began adding Actionscript to it and researching how to build sites in Flash. Although maybe not as productive as i would have liked (since they are thinking about changing the theme) I did learn alot and am hopeful that it will apply in my future action scripting. I was also lent a book on action scripting by Laura and am reading up on it as I would like to be strong and proficient in every area. Especially coding, I enjoy it very much and would like to focus on this area.

Internship with Mulberry Media
So I am four days into my internship with 'Mulberry Media' although I am only required to complete 120 hours, I would like to continue working on outside projects even if it surpasses the required hours. I will keep updates on my hours logged and my activities here:
Monday August 23rd:9 1/2 HOURS
Met with Laura James to discuss the projects she has been working on. We are looking at a website and intro for "Paulette Bourgeois" the author of "Franklin". An intro and website for "Mulberry Media" as well as completing an Iphone application for "WeeHands" (A baby sign language company). Once at home I began to work on the Wee Hands project. I decided to try and come up with fun ways to illustrate the objects that would be signed. After a few different approaches we have agreed on a flash sketch. I cannot proceed with the project until we have a definite size for the objects.

Skatedeck Storyboard
We were asked to create a banner series which would advertize our skatedeck designs from the previous semester. The theme was Rockabilly/Psychobilly/FreakShow. Here is my finished project.
