Adding Sound

After a relatively extensive break from classes, we finally return. I've rather enjoyed myself on this week or so away from school, but I cannot complain about returning.

Anyway, back to the subject, adding sounds. It's a fairly simple process, importing sound and timing it correctly with animation. Originally, I was quite relieved by the simplicity, for my final scene will contain a plethora of sounds. However, I do wish the tutorial had been a bit more in-depth. All of the information within the tutorial is relevant and builds the basic skills I need to add sound, but I will need to go beyond these fundamentals for my final scene to live up to personal expectations.

Class in General

Well, my assignment today is to articulate a review of my Digital Imaging/Globaloria class so far.

Personally, I am enjoying the class for a multitude of reasons. More than anything, however, this class has offered me a new medium through which I may share my writing. I've always been a typewriter or pen type of person, but I realize how convenient technology can be for drafts. (I still prefer to assemble final drafts on paper for the sake of formality and my preference for less modernized distribution of ideas or opinions. [I feel primarily using a classic medium can keep one closer to the predecessors of his or her respective art or skill.])

I've yet to find anything I particularly dislike about this class. Possibly, the days in which we are unable to work; those days seem to drag by very slowly. Oh, and yes, I also dislike that people are able to point out flaws in my work rather easily. For example, in my book review post, I had listed a work by Henry David Thoreau as "Nature." The actual name of this work is "Walden;" 'Nature' is simply a section within this work. (I have neglected to fix this thus far.)

Motion Tweening, Shape Tweening and Animation

We are currently working on Motion Tweening, Shape Tweening and Animation in digital imaging. It's fairly simple to coordinate, however, exporting and uploading the files has proven to be quite a task. My code is correct, and my projects are complete, but everything beside my shape tweening will not export correctly. My morale is surely faltering because of this complex situation.
