Week 8- Interactive Crisis

I'm having a little Flash crisis.

I had my heart set on doing the narrative of my childhood, but after recording some of the dialogue and animating a few snippets, I'm not very pleased with the idea. I don't feel that I possess the artistic skill to create an awesome two minute animation, nor do I feel I have the kind of voice that's pleasing to listen to for a two minute animation.

Ergo, I'm reformulating my idea for my interactive assignment. I think that instead of a long animation, I'm going to just have one page of interactivity. Since vampires have become the flavour of the week, I'm going to resurrect the pirate trend and put the same Salad Fingers spin on it. I think I'm going to make a pirate ship deck with all the things you would find on a ship. However, all of these items will be interactive. For example, a ship's wheel that moves, a treasure chest that shines, a parrot that squawks, and a sick deckhand. This may be a little simpler than what I originally planned, however I think the simplicity will allow me to make a solid working piece, rather than do something beyond my skill level that will turn out mediocre.
