Lynda

I'm starting with the vector-part because I need Enrique to record my life!

Even if Lynda files don't work in my computer - still don't know why - the courses are extremely helpful. I take notes on how things are done but much more importantly, I realized that more than what I thought is possible and really easy to do - as long as you know how!

So I start playing with tweens and changes along the time, after realizing the different meanings of the circles on the frames and how parallel FLASH is with Java (classes=symbols, instances are called the same). Audacity is an opensourceamazing tool for sound handling but I'm still struggling a bit with the .fps and the audio files (which are obviously, NOT vectorized ;P)

Taking lots of inspiration from Computer Arts and Smashing Magazine, I try my best...

The Plan

Well... Caroline Von Scheele who works as a coach, teaching oral skills had some tricks around this. Use personas that others can identify themselves with, repeat the message and recall that... One image is worth a million words -Lucky me, I'm bound to use them as this is a video!

So I decided to start with one of my days. The things I do and the cards I need on the way through. This way people would see why am I so concerned about it! Later and after some existentialistic questioning, I will use some funny parallelisms to explain the technical solution: Exactly like I used to do with my mother and the things I studied during my 5 years as a student of Telecommunications Engineering: Art might be unreason but technology is much simpler!

Later some details on how the thing works, because I´m still selling a Business Idea. Vector Icons and tweens will be great in this stage, as they are recognizable by the audience.

Le grande finale will come with the marketer in person, selling the idea.

This is the country of cards and codes. It's annoying, you have cards for everything, you need to recall a code for every single of them. Sometimes feels you don't even know who you are, funny huh? So much id-control for losing your personal identity.

And what would happen if you loose your card? Exactly, you'd have to phone tones of different customer services just to cancel them and get new ones :__(

So I thought that I could design a service to help the user a bit and have only one card. But how to communicate this?

Animation Med Flash - HGO


It's great to have the opportunity to take a course on something you love. However, it can turn tough when you work full-time and need to pass yet another course in order to be able to keep the flat you're living in.

This course was Ideation, a source of inspiration for entrepreneurs and how to generate and communicate a Business Idea. So what was at the beginning a reason to suffer, turned into a great opportunity to synergize my FLASH knowledge with my Business mind: What could be better to communicate a Business Idea than a video?
