Mini Flash Assignment (Due Feb 20)

We will start a mini Flash project that will facilitate both experience in Flash as well as starting to think critically and imaginatively about its potential to create and interpret interfaces.
The assignment is to create a two part Flash animation that interprets the notion of inside/outside or micro/macro as you can relate it to your chosen space.
Conceptual parameters: your file will have two animated interpretations of your chosen space, one from a macro or exterior perspective, another from a micro or interior perspective. You will create a simple interactive transition between the two. Think of the way that interfaces function as membranes - permeable barriers between spaces or information. How does your space govern movement in and out of it? How can that be simulated or interpreted in Flash, with what we've covered so far? How is one's perspective changed depending on which side of the barrier they are on?
Technical parameters: With Flash, you will produce one file that uses the animation and interactive capabilities covered in class (as well as any previous knowledge you bring to it) to achieve the conceptual parameters above.
To recap: you will produce one Flash file that uses images and animation (and maybe sound) to interpret both an exterior/macro and interior/micro aspect of your space, as well as an interface that allows a "user" to move from one to the next.
