Over the past couple of days, Mr. Fitzer has been showing us some new skills in flash, that include stoptimers, and Random number generators. I believe it might help make my interactive resume better in a way. Although I never planned to use any of that stuff in there, let alone ever use that stuff, I think it would make into an awesome kind of game. I remember last year which we made up our poker games and all we did was push buttons to make random numbers. If I could, I could make a bonus game into my resume to show off my skills in the flash world. Much similar to the Poker game we did last year.
If not that, I wanna try to make up a “slap happy” kind of game we were demonstrated in class today. And I know the perfect subject to create it with! I have a friend at CCHS who is a goofy guy who likes to use the term “cheekslap” all the time. Well, I plan to turn his catch phrase into a game. I will get a picture of his head and we can see how hard we slap it. Much like the popular game, spank the monkey, which ive never played but I bet it involves monkeys.
But seriously, I believe these lessons will benefit me in the end of making these resumes. I wanna make this the best thing ever, and I believe these tools will help out.

today, we worked with buttons and shapes. I continued to working towards just drawing and i have to admit, im getting faster with this. I took half the time drawing this guy in the white and filling in was easy... just white, due to his shocked state.

the buttons part was just a review from last year. the Variables part and everything. nothing too special.

Today was a shortened day in class so i just made more character movements and started working on portfolio pieces for the resume. I also desided to name a unknown mystery character ive created calling him "the creator". He is the guy with the hat and Blue and white shirt. He also kinda looks familiar...

anyway, i have a pic at home i wanna put into the resume that would be a nice piece. i minipulated a picture of yours truly playing some guitar, (yes i do play guitar, just not as good as Walters or Nate or Jon) and i edited it using my copy of Photoshop... yes.

Today was a preloader day for me in the wonderful world of Interactive resume time. I needed to make a legit bar that will allowed the viewers to wait while i loaded space for my resume. Its nothing fancy, just a color fill in towards the word AWESOME. thats my plan i wanna stick by it.

Also, i updated my VO's from yesterday and i redid the Awesome Rebel Background to look much more like mountains, rather than blobs of red and grey flying by. I wanted to work on other stuff, but i wont have much time so ill just finish what i needed finished by the end of the week.

Well, i sure had a nice presidents day weekend. but now its back to business.

During our time working on interactive resumes, i need to work on the sounds and the voice recordings. i think i should try out the new microphone i bought at home and test it on the laptop i got for my B-day. i also have a plan on what to do with the Awesome Rebel Motorcycle sound effects, I plan to use a ROM of a motorcycle game i have and capture the sound from there. The sound is Superb, and its will definatly help with the resume.

today during our wonderful time in mr. fitzers class... we worked on, you guessed it. INTERACTIVE RESUMES!

2/10/09

well, today, i worked on my resume. you think it might be boring right now... but its never gets boring when you think positive!!!

today, i continued to further create animations towards both my resume, and my easter egg bonus. and to show what im doing, im posting a prototype picture to show off how exciting its gonna be... i might even do advertising to further develop my student buisness!

didnt do the VO's yet but when i can... i will!

2/9/2009 (welcome back)

well, its been a month since i posted anything on my Awesome blog. a lots has changed but its now time to revert back to work with my AWESOME resume...

on my first day back, i created legs for my Awesome rebel character, and created his animations on the Awesome Rebel part. What he will do is ride his bike in and out of the scene... simple enough... no. you have to watch it to believe it when i say... AWESOME...

also, i started creating my easter egg for the project... ill leave you at that.

and finally, i wanna re-do my VO's for the resume. i figured out during break that its better quality if you use a USB microphone to record your voice rather than a camera... much better... so i wanna recreate the VO's Tonight for the resume.

and thats all for now. later!
