My role in the new challenge

In the new challenge we have been separated into groups and I have one person with me, Lewis. In this challenge we were told to go out and make something new and be able to apply leardership skills in the project we  had three thing we could choose from they where: video , computer aniamtion aka Flash or there and stop-motion aniamtion aka clay aniamtion, lego ect we chose to do computer based aniamtion because me and lewis are both skilled in that programme and we thought it would make it easier on both of us.

We are going to make a short animation using Flash because that is the industry standerd software and it is less comlicated to use we do not have a long timeframe to accomlish this so we want to choose the programs that we are familer with so it goes faster.

My role in this new challenge is the animator of the project so what that means is i will be the one who makes our idea an actaul thing using my own knowladge in Adobe flash and me and lewis will talk about what we want to do and i will give my input on if we could actaully do that using the software that we have availebele to us.

This will help me develop my leadership skills through the anaimtion side because lewis may be the director but he does not have the knowledge i do off flash so with him next to me iI can develop my leardership skills by helping him devolop his skills in animation by teaching him what I know.

Lewis' job inb the project is to direct and make sure that all stages go according to plan and schedule.
I will then look for possible characters to use and place them onto flash and parts of them move in a funny way.  My main role is is to make tcharacters move on screen and colour them in. This will be trough either retracing the original graphic or developing and editing original ideas straight into Flash where there will be no copyright involved

The skills I will develop in this project are the skills i already have but with this project I will be able to develop them further to be able to add more creative graphics and better quality animations.
