flash question

Actually, this is more an audio question as it pertains to Flash...anyone know the difference between MP3 and MP4 files (aside from the obvious)? My audio is an MP4 and logic tells me that if it should work in Flash, but I'd like to confirm whether I need to convert the sucker...thanks!

random thoughts

1. This week is gonna be a doozy, especially with trying to get some of this Flash project in place.
2. I think I may talk about the wife and kids too much in class, but maybe that's just because it's in the forefront of everything in my life right now....so F it. :)
3. I'm happy I took advantage of the lab today and scanned my images in for this Flash project. That saved me time later this week dicking around to try and have the images scanned in somewhere else.
4. Damn I'm tired.
5. ...but I'm really hoping it doesn't rain in the AM because my first softball games of the season are tomorrow.
6. Just watched the O's notch another win. It's starting to scare me.
7. If the Orioles have a 6 game division lead , say, 2 weeks before the trade deadline...does Brian Roberts get dealt?
8. This Fantasy Sports idea that was mentioned during the brainstorm has my interest piqued. My friends and I have been running a Fantasy Football league for about 13-14 years now and I was commissioner for a long period of time. I also run the draft and have won the league a few times, so I know how to approach the set-up, and strategy, etc.
9. I hate pollen
10. The last day of class I'm gonna splurge on sushi again.

storyboard

Is anyone else finding their storyboard to be quite long? Mine is already 8 pages (3 captions per page) and I'm thinking it'll wind up being 12-15 pages. I'm very much liking the way it is turning out though...I guess the proof will be once I put them into Flash and see how the images synch up with the music. Mine will be very fast paced though, so lots of images.

Flash

I already know exactly what I'm doing for this. My wife's labor came on very quickly with our first child and our car ride to the hospital was an adventure. The story will be from my perspective and I'm going to illustrate the images for the movie as well. I was thinking black and white, but in color may indicate mood a lot better. I also have in mind a particular sound track for the my movie, which may actually add some light-heartedness to the situation. I'm looking forward to working on this!!

Classification #2







Well, it looks like I am going to stay with the "type of sports fan" idea. I just need to find images to complete the design and to tighten up the concept and the direction it's going. My roughs:

classification project

I'm really excited about doing this project, but I know I have to attack it head on as the wife could go into labor any day now. I'm going with types of sports fans and I already have the basis of my writing as well as a concept I'm excited about for the graphics portion. I just need to find the right images...geez isn't that the case with just about anything these days?

I mentioned these ads in our group session last Saturday to try and inspire some creative thinking. Gotta love Will Ferrell!
