Final

I was successful in altering all of the chapters title pages so they would be animated. The final result of this project can be found at http://appstore.monk.ee/details.php?appid=100892243. Click on HTML5 and it will open the phone app into a browser for viewing. This link will bring you right that that spot.  

Through readings from the text, Introduction to media production: the path to digital media production as well as random searches via the internet, I learned about the many ways art is used in the digital world. Media projects are very involved and require a lot of planning. I now understand why pre-production, production, and post production are necessary in developing a media arts project. Getting ones ducks in a row helps tremendously.
 This project allowed me to explore programs I would normally not use. I became familiar with Animoto, Windows Movie Maker, Audacity, and Mixcraft. This experience opened my eyes to where I am strong and where I am weak. Figuring out new programs came easy to me, where creating my own music was an absolute failure. 
I plan on carrying my new found knowledge with me into future courses and future works. I still have a lot to learn in this field and look forward to my next hurdle.

The End is Near

Using the knowledge I have gained from my animation independent study, I recreated the title page for chapters 1,2,5, and 6. Check it out through the mobil app found at http://fanapp.mobi/kaphrus. I am working on figuring out how to apply this animated title page to chapters 3 & 4. Those chapters were created using Animoto and are not as easy to fix.
