flush flash

finally weekend!! okay, we've had production week, but still..we've been in school every day of it so it doesn't really feel any different! yesterday we stayed in school until they closed at nine (great way to spend a friday night) but we wanted to finish our flash animations before we went home and then we went home and fell asleep in the sofa in front of "Ratatouille". great friday night :)

anyway, we "learned" flash yesterday. if it wasn't for Antonio we wouldnt be at home, just woken up, we would still be sitting with stupid flash trying to understand it. he helped heaps. anyway, now its done. it doesn't look "ooooh, that's amazing" but we never really aimed for that. you have to know your limitations sometimes (i've never opened flash before) and understand that even though you do have the imagination but not the knowledge you are a bit limited. no matter what the pirate lecturer says. our flash lecturer is two metres tall, tattoed all over his arms and talks like a pirate, exactly like a pirate! eeerr, eeerrr all through class! first class i didn't understand anything he said, but now i've kind of got the hang of it! and he quotes Einstein and says

"Imagination is more important than knowledge"

- well, not when it comes to flash though! me and louise had grand plans for our animation but when we actually were to do it Antonio had to bring us down to the earth again and explain that it would take us forever and still not look good.

now we're gonna eat breakfast and watch oliver & company in the sofa!
