Supervisor Tutorial 5: Deciding Animation of Cutscene and Ethics Approval.

In the tutorial I had with my supervisor today, I showed him the post I made from the 17th. This post was regarding how I would go about making the animation of the cutscene.

It was to decide whether it would be done through

Several pictures stitched together and then traced around a single frame with a V-cam used to move around the vector image.

OR

Trimming down the video, importing it to Adobe Flash and then tracing around each image per frame.

Whilst the later would look better since the 3D would be more accurate, this is something which would be very time consuming when more work could be spent on the coding.

In conclusion we decided it would be best to use stitch the images together and trace around a single frame in Adobe Flash. However, instead of using a V-cam to maneuver around the vector image, a simple tweet would be used instead.

We also had a discussion on ethics approval. I let Daniel know that I hadn't heard anything back on whether I was allowed to do user testing for my game. The other one was me informing Daniel that I would probably need ethics approval for a voice actor too.  Daniel stated that he would check on both of these for me.
