My Proposal

My name is Kimani Reid I am an eleventh grader, My project is a flash mini series that i will present only the first episode while creating the other episodes. I dont believe that this will teach the class anything but i do believe that it connects with two of the habits of minds. The first is Imagination because i am using the characters that i created in their world that i created as well, the next is commitment because if i don't have patience with the program i will either quit on the project or break bills computer.
After thinking through what i was going to do for this class i came upon two decisions. the first was to do a digital comic about a character i made or a flash that would have something to do with the government and how evil they really are I drew out the characters and gave them names and figured out which one would be the main character which took longer than i thought it would.
Then we presented and when it was my turn i did not really have a good idea of what i was going to do so i got some ideas from my peers and the one that stuck with me was to use the characters and make a flash to make a mini series about my characters and what goes on in their world. The main challenge in this project is to make the flash itself because this kind of work i have never done before so i am learning at the same time.
I have also come to the conclusion that animation is harder than it looks but these are only my first steps on my road to pursuing a career in animation so i have to have some sort of knowledge of Flash.I believe that i am very committed because i havent given up yet so with this i will conclude and consider myself successful in being imaginative and committed in doing this project.

Materials

I dont need much because most of the materials i need i already have such as

-my sketch book(which holds my sketchs of characters and my story line)

-and Flash (which i need to learn how to animate things as well as draw on the computer)

So pretty much Im set

Backwards plan

what my backwards plan is for me to create a flash that can be put on my blog or on the internet altogether as well as get better at writing story boards. on a whole I have decided that my final step in this project is to get my skills in flash to grow allowing me to make better flash animation better than the one i will be showing to the class.

MINI SERIES

I have decided to make a mini series about my character and his adventures in his world and his story. I have drawn out the characters and villians, i know that my choice is a tough and challenging since i am making a mini series while learning flash but i might as well give it a shot.
