The wrestler

Iv just seen the film the wrestler and really liked the way it was filmed. there was a lot of documentary type filming even though it wasn't, this was mainly filming over the main characters shoulder and following him about. The ending was pretty cool as well, it just ended with him jumping off the turnbuckle with no definitive ending of what path he takes.

Finally finished my quiz

I think iv sorted out all the problems except one which is that the music does not stop when the button is clicked to go to the next question. I have made a note on it on the quiz but that does not sort out the problem...Iv added a bit of animation and from the feedback that i got from some users i decided to add some colour as they said it was boring, Even though i was going for a simple look.

Match it - Interactive Quiz

Just a taster of the quiz, still have to work out how to make sound when the button is pushed and make the ending more exciting

Flash is killing me

I was up till 5 last night trying to put sounds on my buttons, this meant watching hundreds of tutorials and a lot of trial and error. I realised that i couldnt put sound on with another efffect i had on the buttons. The buttons now move out to the right when the mouse is over them and back in when the mouse moves off. I like this effect but will still try to add sound and if not will put sound in somewhere else.

Flash Quiz

I'm half way through my flash quiz and am having doubts...the idea is an association game which would include images, words, sounds etc. I tried to base the design on a famous online flash quiz, The stupid Test. However i really don't like the idea now, and i think that i will hate going along with it, so I'm going to keep the idea of the game and questions that i have made and start redesigning it.

Cool short film

I was watching some short films and came across this one which i really liked...only short but leaves you gagging to know what happens next which is annoying as i don't think they brought out another one. Its not great quality, couldn't find the original one which I've see before, but still a good short film with great effects.

What's in the box? 'Test Film 2009' video

3D Edit

My friend came to stay with me this week and showed me this video which i really liked and have watched a couple times since seeing it the first time. Its a 3D edit of a cod movie which i have been told the skills are bad. However the editing is really clever, i like how they made someone fall through the ceiling when they were shot through the floor, which doesn't really happen in the game.

Zero de conduite

This week we watched a french film called "Zero de conduite" (Zero for conduct, 1933). The film was based around the experiences of Jean Virgo, the writer, in a boarding school. The film was created in 1933 and banned in France as it was seen to start influencing rebellion. It was the first film to include slow motion in it as well as being a very influential film to future writers.

However i did not enjoy the film so much as i found it hard to follow. I thought the scenes were too scattered which i wouldnt have minded it they connected better, but they didnt.
