In my Multimedia
class at Notre Dame, we were assigned the task of animating a word
of our choice using Macromedia's Director. Heavily into boxing at
the time, I chose "Box". I created a story board and imported
simple bitmaps from Photoshop. I concentrated more on the animation
and sound, especially timing the sound bits with the hits on the word.
Using Sound Edit, I manipulated tracks from CDs and recorded the actual
shuffling sound at boxing practice. Once the movie was completed with
the functions in Lingo, it was exported as a Shockwave file for viewing
on the web, as well as a Projector for use in desktop presentations.
