Final outcome vs flip book testing.
I pint 3 flip books for test yestday. The outcome is good and not too expensive. But I prepare to bind the problem was come. The worker said the book is too small to bind. So I take it go home to bind them by myself.
I research some way to bind the book in very old chinese way. Which is no pollution, strong, easy, and nice.

I didn't do the absolutely same bind. I change a little. It would make my book stonger.
I make a transparence plastic paper cover. It can protect I books.
Im very happy for the final book. Its looks fine.

This day I was thing about the final show idea. And I get 3 iaea which is good I think.
1.Domino seting
In this idea, I want set the flip book look like the domino. Audience can push the book to play all book. The concept came from food chain. One destroy will influence others.
I like the idea, but its seems put too much in the project. And If I use this idea I don't know where should I drawing the story map. So Im think about it now.
2.wall painting
In this idea, I want draw a painting in the wall. The painting will show the basic story. I personally like this idea, but the drawing is a big project.
3. simple wall
This idea is keep all the things simple. In the wall, audience just see the B/W line map. The flip books will in the square. I want let audience think by themselves. But I don't like the idea very much. Now I just keep this idea.
Im not sure which will I ues for the final show. I will make a decision asap.

Today I go to design museum' shop, I find a wallet call "Mighty Wallet". I find the wallet made by Tyvek-a kind of recyclable materials-it is very interesting. I searched online, then I found
Tyvek (pronounced /taɪˈvɛk/) is a brand of flashspun high-density polyethylene fibers, a synthetic material; the name is a registered trademark of DuPont. The material is very strong; it is difficult to tear but can easily be cut with scissors or any other sharp object. Water vapor can pass through Tyvek (highly breathable), but not liquid water, so the material lends itself to a variety of applications: medical packaging, envelopes, car covers, air and water intrusionbarriers (housewrap) under house siding, labels, wristbands, mycology, and graphics. Tyvek is sometimes erroneously called "Tyvex".
From Wikipedia
I was think about, can I use it in my project. I may use the material to make my books' cover. I'm not sure now. Still thinking.......
work flow long from simon yu on Vimeo.
This 30 mins video will show you the basic work process for my animation. eg: draft-Adobe Illustrator-Cinema 4D-Adobe After Effects-Final cut pro-Soundtrack Pro-Flash
So hope when u finish this video u can know the process about how I made this movie.
how to play the movie from simon yu on Vimeo.
This video will show you how to install the movie app. This app is my animation project. I made by Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5. You can download here. It is not the final outcome. I just want audience watch more than flip book.
download now
PS: If u haven't Adobe air in you computer please go to here to download. Thanks
PS2: I just update new file include AIR installer in the zip file. so you do not need download it by yourself.
opening title from simon yu on Vimeo.
The idea is frame by frame fade in, like the flip book. Then the pictures became my movie's title " please say nothing". Why I use this name is because some times we face some pollution problem or some bad things we always like talk about it, But talk can not change any thing. What we should do is to activity. Other hand is in my movie there are no dialog.
I just find a artist done the flip book project in 2007 China, he use the electronic money counting machine to play the movie. Really interesting work. But in my project may not use this way. My project use traditional flipbook to do the project.
A micro simulation of “Creating A Need” 
Golf video footages being printed onto paper size of 100RMB paper notes. When the golf funny clips being demostrated, it will be played instead of a traditional media like TV screen or a DVD player or even a computer but a electronic money counting machine. As a result viewer watching the golf funny clips like watching a flip book.

LO 6 - rewrite
In this essay I want discuss my project from 2 part. First is from technology development. Second is theory development.
In technology part, because my project is a interactive movie, I need to make a full movie by myself. Sothat I learned how to make a movie in professional way. I learn it from a CD call “How to make your movie- an interactive film school”http://www.interactivefilmschool.com/ . From this CD I know the all steps about how to make a profession movie. When I was making the movie, I found some 3d technology support was very necessary. After learned the filmmaking process, I was learned the 3d software call Cinema 4D. Cinema 4d is a very easy to use, and I can search a lots of tutorial from the internet. During the learning period, I found animation was good for story telling and it easy to control. Because that I was change my idea to make a animation movie. In the original idea, I decided to make a full 3d animation. However, in the making process I found many problems that I can not fixed. From this reason, I start redo the character design to graphic style. Nevertheless for some especially character I still use 3d to do it.
Before the interactive movie idea, I thought to make a project with processing and physical computing. Therefore I learned processing and physical computing as well. Due to the learning period was not enough, I kept idea for future development. Now I am still learning the code.
As a result of interaction, in the fina show I would use flip book to connect the movie and audiences. I learned digital printing knowledge as wel. For instance, the PDF file is good for print, how to use Indesign to manage all the print file. Before I print the file I should to test the frame for the movie and cut some useless shot. Finally I am learning the Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5 now. This software is design for interactive designer. Designers can make the interactive project without code writing. For me, I will use this software to make a online interactive version for anyone who want watch my movie.
In theory part, I learned what is interaction and different level of interactive narrative. I found some interactive free lecture in iTunes U, Apple iTunes function. Such as, MIT OCW: CMS.610 / CMS.922 Media Industries and Systems, Spring 2006 Week 6: Interactive Storytelling http://ocw.mit.edu Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/terms-of-use
I also got some essays from my friend, who study at LCC interactive media, it’s very helpful for me to understand interactive movie.
To sum up, the couse is short, however, I still got what I want to do and learn. I learned how European think about arts and how they work. It is very useful experience for me. After this couse, I may try to find a job in here, I think I should more communicate with others. It may be the most importent things for me.
This is the scene design references. I find it in ffffound.com. In this picture, the world is not a circle. In 350 BC - Aristotle argues for a spherical Earth using lunar eclipses and other observations. Before that people thought the Earth was flat. So I want my world was a really old place. so I make the world like a pie.
I just get the basic idea from this pics. In the picture, the all tree have eyes, it is good for my story. In my story the tree have life. They can breathe and move. So I use the eye idea in my tree design.
This pic is how my computer look like when I'm designing the character. When I'm designing the character I reference many real pictures and some others art work. Because I'm not good at character very well. I need this reference to keep my work looks professional.
It's already 3 o'clock I finished the whole animation and did the testing for one flip book.
I almost follow the plan to finish the whole animation in begin of the May. It was so tied to do this. And I printed the one shot for testing, I print 15 frame a second. The full frame is 30 frame by flip book don't need that much to play.
The effect for the book was great. The book almost have 200 page, but it is small so I did not use too much papers. From the test, I find the size of the book is too small to watch. So I think in the final outcome the size will more bigger.
This pic show the final setting for the book size. The new size is just perfect for A4 page. In the left I keep the space let people take the book, it was so impotent that I forgot in the pervious test.
ye~~~~ I spend about 2 month to do the animation. Now I'm finished. So next step I will focus on the show build and book making.
