Final Preview on My Tasks

After 11 weeks of working on the project, I want to review on all things that I have done:

1) Project leader:

• Pointed out the project's concept.
• Considered the technology needed to apply on the project.
  To illustrate, I decided that we should use Chroma key for all of the video; how to construct the flash like, divided the whole flash into smaller pieces and linked them together.
  
• Encouraged the team members to do at their best.
• Took care of the time line, the appointments with the dancers.

2) Motion Graphic Designer:

• Created the visual effects for the dance performances.
• Made the interface of the main flash and sub flashes.
• Worked on the action script to create the visual effects.

3) Creative Director:

• Directed how we shoot the videos (the way the dancers move, how they appeared and disappeared.
• Solved the technical problems that other team members met when they were implementing the project.
• Finalized the project, collected all works from team members and combined them into the whole one.
• Tested the project, to see if they had any thing wrong, and gave the feedback to team members; had them to fix them out.
  

The deadline is comming

We are in the hard phase of the project;

The more we work on it, the more works appear ^_^

Trung is working on action script, and structure the main flash.

Cuong is processing the images used for sildeshow and gallery.

Lam is re-designing and adjusting the overal design to make the interface more sleek and nicer.

Compose the more detail story board

Alright, it's time to decide how the flash gonna be played in details
How it look like?
Which effects will be applied?
How parts link together?

These question above will be answered in the story board.

It will be uploaded soon. ^_^

Human Management

Once the project has gone over 50% of its path, there were something new I have just recognized. Managing and dealing with human is far more difficult than with technical issues.
Human cause lots of troubles; your project would have a chance to crash if only one of the people envolded in the team was absent or disappear.

Being a team manager, I must communicate with many different kind of people, the team members, of course, the multimedia-assistant, the cameramen, the dancers, the MC, the maintenance, etc.

However, this's not a main point. I love to communicate with people! ^_^

Video Shooting Schedule

the next Tuesday is the impotant day for our project; all the video materials are shooted on that day!
So, to make sure that things gonna go on well, i have made a video shooting schedule, including which person is envolved, which time to shoot, and how to shoot, etc.

please check out the schedule at: http://project.kempinky.com/videoShootingSchedule.xls

Latest Mock-ups for the Flash

I have created a new mock-up for our Flash; the inspiration came from 3d tutorials that Trung have taught us, and black silk.

Style:

• Contemporary
• Clean
• Sleek

Finished the communication with the Dancer

I has had a talked with Ms. Vu Hoai Anh this yesterday afternoon about our project.
She has promised to support us 2 young talented dancers, her students, for the video shooting.
Hoai Anh said she did'nt want to be shooted because she is now just 'an old dinosaur'.

I must admitted that she is kind of oldness, but she still be really sexy when looking at. ^_^

I think I gonna join her dance class so far!
