Presentation has passed

17 Jan 2011 (MON)- Today is our presentation day for this project 3. so "HAPPY" to tell you guys that we are the first group to present...wahahahahha~~>< and we have undergone a special and memorable presentation.
We used the powerpoint slide show to show the process our woks.During presentation, everything seem goes smooth at first but unluckily..some webpages in the flash faced the "technical problem" which some of the webpages cant link to each others. Moreover, our video couldn't showed during the presentation due to the "computer problem" which the MOV file not supported. Therefore, we have to show the webpages and videos separately.

In conclusion, our group  need to touch up our flash by connecting all the webpages to the correct pages and links.

Web Design progress

We continue our web design today. Unfortunately I found that our 1st design of the web background is not that nice. Somehow it looks too flat and too cartoonish. So I decided to create another one. I decided to use something like montage(cut and paste) style for our web background. Therefore I collected some KL buildings picture and printed it out. Then i cut and arranged it on an A3 size paper. I purposely arranged all those buildings with different thickness to make it pop up abit.

There are few arrangements

For the final web background, I gonna add sky & ground.
 

Starting our web design

Yesterday we had a short discussion with Ms. Ruby. We asked her something about Flash before we start our web design. Today we have start our web design. We decided to do a 2D background and try to make it simple.  It gonna be cartoon style since that our theme is user friendly.  Furthermore, our main links gonna be interesting. We gonna put sound effect for the main links button and also add motion for it.

 This is our first tryout without our main links(cars) at the front

Our videos - Almost there!

Today we combined our videos that had taken last 2 days ago. We chose the suitable one and develop it in Premium Pro. We divided our job. Kah Hong do the "Berhenti" & "Awas" video, Ah Kau do the "Beri Laluan" video, and I do the "Jalan Sehala". However, we also asked each other suggestion and idea during the progress. Furthermore, Kah Hong and I also play around with the music( that we going to insert for our video). Yeah, our videos are almost done. Tomorrow we going to finish up our videos and show to Pn.
