Animation/Interactivity assignment

For my animation assignment, I was hoping to animate a poem and thought of "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein. The reason I chose this was because it was one of my favorite poems when I was younger and I've always enjoyed Shel Silverstein's work. If I am unable to do this poem, I was also considering doing an animation on the 7 wonders of the world. I think both of these projects would be really unique and interesting while working with Flash. I was really inspired by the stutter step project that was an example in lecture. I'm hoping to maybe make my flash project (if I do the poem) similar to this one. If I do the seven wonders of the world, I'm hoping to model mine after the seven deadly sins project shown in lecture. I liked both of those projects and am hoping to be able to create something just as unique. I will definitely need to practice working with Flash before I can create my animation. So far I've done okay with the tutorials in class, but I've never worked with the program before this class so I still have lots to learn. I think this will be my biggest obstacle. Once I figure out all the techniques that I want to incorporate into my project, I think it will be pretty successful. I'm going to be incorporating a voice over into Flash as well as adding lots of pictures. I'm a little anxious about this project, but I'm still excited to learn more about Flash and create another Digital Media project that (hopefully) I can be proud of!
