Flash Project

For our project in flash weve been set the theme 'My life in Falmouth' We have to create a flash animation based on our sound recordings of other people talking about somthing to do with falmouth. I suppose It's kinda like creature comforts.. but not.

It doesn't have to be related to me but I wanted to show my own experiences in Falmouth as it will be more personal. So seeing as I spend most of my time in falmouth town I thought Id make my animation about going out on the beer.

So I went on over to my friends flat in O block whilst they were having a few drinks before going out and asked them to talk about what they usually do on a night out.

I'm going to animate them as a group of empty glasses on a pub table as different people tend to drink different drinks.. therefore I can give my characters a lot of personality as the different types of glasses resemble different types of people.

I recorded my sound before doing the designs of the characters, so I can listen to the voices and draw them to fit the personality they portray.

Here a few rough sketches of what the characters will look like.

I chose to draw a beer mug because the guy who did the voice has a very northern accent and I can really imagine him as an old man.. so I gave him a big moustache and thick jolly eyebrows.

The next character I drew as martini glass as the voice sounds quite posh. I drew her with an olive aswell, which I could make speak or laugh along with the others.

I made the wine glass look a bit more common as it is drank more often by students and the characters voice sounds a bit chavvy (sorry Rach!)

For the last character I drew an empty shot glass. I want the audience to know that it was a tequila shot, so I drew a crazy lemon slice next to it. I wanted the shot glass to look a bit mad and drunk as it suits the type of drink.. and the characters voice.
