Thumbelina

Started adding new illustrations,last scene there isn’t finished.

Scene7 Work in progress. The lillypad is turning out to be a pain. 

Using this as a loose reference: 

Scene 5 frog son and backdrop

To save time on the trees I used:

AND

This looks like an interesting start for a progress bar.  I’m pretty sure I can make it vertical...but It won’t be anything but a simple bar. That is a slight bummer but it is something to tryout....later.

I’ll be honest. I've been really stuck with the coding progress. It painful, slow, and glitchy as all hell. Particularly with scrolling up. I’m not sure how I was the website to react when scrolling up. Not only that- it is painful to code.

Now with very little time left in the semester I may have to make some compromises. Not only with the scrolling function ( may have to have the backward motion be simple and prompt the user at the end to reload the page to enjoy the experience in it’s entirety) BUT some scenes may have to be cut/reduced/combined-

I foresee some to cause glitches and I find it to be very important to not let the project to not suffer as a whole.

As for what I’m doing next?

I’m going to try to illustrate as many scenes as I can tomorrow and monday.Then I’ll code for the next fews days because I’ll be away from campus (gotta visit the fasmily some time!) Then I’ll be back up...and who knows what I’ll decide to do next.

As usual I’ll post the link to the website in progress when  progress is made. ha

This is the current link to my senior project. It's defiantly a work in progress and it is a super glitchy.

So far I have the first two scenes started..... I want to try to figure out how to get the animations reverable.

Test Animation for second scene. Tomorrow I'll try to draw Thumbelina. Then, the drawings for scenes 1 and two will be done.

Second photo is just fro reference. Should I  keep "objects" black and white and allow the backgrounds to be dark and some color? Food for thought.
