This has got to be the most strange project I have ever attempted in my life! Not because I haven't enjoyed it exactly the opposite to be precise I've loved it which is why it is a shame that this was the last project because I've had no time to do it in.
To start off with I had these grand plans of producing a piece of work similar to the Gorillaz website www.gorillaz.com/flash by creating a virtual tour of my flat. The problem is however each image that I have created took so long to create that there were simply not enough hours in the day to even come close to finishing. I probably shouldn't have gone into so much detail on every image.
It basically got to the point where if I had continued to do this project I would have failed the course. Thats not to say I don't like what I've created I thinks its awesome but to be realistic to meet a deadline thats fast approaching this isn't the best project to choose.
So I had to find a alternative that isn't turning out badly at all...
Basically I've created a very quick project that I am calling the 'Life of a Rock Star' where you will be able to choose what path to stardome the character will take eg Going Solo or joining a Band and making a series of choices that will affect his career. By the end your character will either end up a washed up wannabe in WOW! magazine, on a desert island or somewhere imbetween. Again I have created the images my self but without adding colour its amazing how much time I've saved. Obviously graphically It's nowhere near my first attempt but at least I'll be able to finish it and this time I does have a much thicker narractive.
Please note that I am not dropping my first project at all because I'm enjoying creating it so much and I do intend to finish it. It's just on hold for the minuite I might possibly consider using it on a website and use one of the rooms as a theatre to view my work from but I'm only firing ideas out at the minuite. So basically its an ongoing project that sadly won't be finished for the deadline thats on hold for the minuite while I get everything else done.
