5/3/10

I was under the impression that it was to be completed by Tuesday so I worked from about 5:30 PM-1:00 AM

• Rendered two clips
• Imported into imovie
• Set up transitions
• I had set up credits the previous class 4/29/10
• Tried to record a sound that was as close to the rubber ball sound that I wanted > fail
• Searched the building for a rubber ball > found one in a closet on the 2nd floor
• Recorded it in garageband > exported it
• Placed the sound in the animation in imovie but the sound was way too loud and lasted for 4 seconds so I had to make it quieter and shorter
• length was set to .15 and the sound level set to 8% which was made to steadily decrease at the end of the ball bounce sequence

The Animation was complete but since there was time it was edited further

• I put in Freeze Frames at the beginning, each frame approx 3-4 seconds
• I inserted bounce sounds at .15 seconds in length sound level 8%
• I moved segments around without noticing their content and thus the timing for the sounds were off
• I readjusted the frames and sounds so that they flowed and the sounds matched up just right
• I changed the opening credits and ending credits backgrounds to a beige fabric weave background, I wanted to the change the color of it but I couldn't find a way to do so in a timely manner
• I watched the animation all the way through and found that I could make more edits
• I shortened clips so that the ball was up in the air about to fall down prior to going onto the next clip
• I also shortened some clips as a means to get the background sound to better fit the animation's intended emotions
• Just shortly after 3 I exported the file as a quicktime > fini
