Ok, I think I went a little crazy when testing out the different brush tools, but I like discovering new programs. Supposedly, Illustrator is similar to Photoshop, and I feel that it is a bit easier to grasp, so it was a fun exercise to do.

So this is technically my first time using Adobe Flash, and I'm really enjoying it! It's not too difficult to learn, so I think I've grasped the basics of creating bouncy balls :) Time to knuckle down and get to work!

After the Crit presentation feedback, I've managed to gain a bit more confidence in my work :) I've only made minor changes to the storyboard, but these few extra panels should hopefully demonstrate the state change of the wire and the divas so the audience can better understand what's going on.

To have the ability to grab an audience like that and have them cry “I didn’t see that coming!” is a sign of a successful movie. With a riveting title sequence created by Saul Bass, it’s not a film anyone will be forgetting anytime soon. There are many aspects of this film that make “Psycho” as infamous as it is, but the most well known scene is the shower scene shown about a third of the way through the film. Joseph Stefano mentions, “ There's hardly a film fan alive who doesn't know what happens next, but while the shower scene is justifiably the film's most famous sequence, there are dozens of memorable bits throughout this film.” (Stefano, J. 2010) It was Hitchcock’s decision to take such a creative risk, but it worked. This dramatic sequence threw the audience off completely, causing it to become so memorable and have a last...
