Changing ideas
13/05/2010 by Paul Carpenter.
Quite recently I found the joy of flashing! the adobe software I’m talking about………
To try and make my site alittle more interesting then just plain pictures I started to learn how to use it about 2 months ago and made my new portfolio - http://www.mtn-m.co.uk/Portfolio_flash.html - not fantastic but give me a chance.
After that little experiment I started to play with it in regard to the kids book idea, the image and swf file below show a part of a new flash protfolio I’m in the middle of creating. In the process of designing and creating new illustration for it I had the chance to further develop the look and also manners of the characters as would be shown in short motion film clips I plan to place within the galleries - this in its self enabled me to better understand the type of story I wanted to write - the more I planned it and researched those things that have mostly influenced me, the more I realised that this story was’nt meant for kids but also for adults like in the genre of ’shrek’ or ‘tom and jerry’ (maybe alittle to long ago for some to remember them) and of course ‘the simpsons’.
I guess being a natural piss taker and prankster, I was going to have differculty trying to make a story which would be suitable for young kids - critics abound in this global village of ours and I would’nt want to make their day at all - so instead as always I,ve ended up following the path that most suits my humour and once I’ve learnt the finer points of flash animation, will carry on with jim and judys adventures in way I guess that best pleases me and brings smile to my viewers.
