So I decided to return to Flash and the Aboriginal Dreamtime Stories. I wanted to spend more time with Flash and I am really drawn to these stories, so I started again on a “The Rainbow Serpent.” (Or maybe I’ve been subconciously preparing for my second trip to Aus coming up!). I thought I wouldn’t have to spend as much time getting to know the environment of Flash and that I could get right to work; however this story ended up requiring more and more scenes and actions then the previous story so I spent even more time on this one. Flash also crashed on me 4 times, and I lost so much work each time.

This time I wrote the story (based on two versions I found online) first and and then had Sam read it which was fine, but then I really had to stick to that exact story in the animation. I used another track from the Aboriginal music which I thinks works really well with this one. I wanted the music to start first and then Sam’s voice to start after the title pages, but the class didn’t really like the stillness when that happened last time, and I didn’t have time to go back to it in the end, so I just started the voice at the same time. I’m sure I’ll fix this later.
