i like the way you can create your own mix by jumping from one image to another.very clever johny,how did you do that?
|
the fla source with the actionscript can be downloaded here: http://www.gonzopj.net/poetry2/poetry.flafeel free to download the source file to analyze it. it’s all pretty simple code. Circa March 1, 2006 for Web Publishing WKU class.

cheers johny.it will have to be incredibly simple code for me to understand it,but i will give it a whirl.

As a retrospective sidenote..
The philosophy behind the production of this piece was simple.
Instead of reporting about an event,
why not just deliver it?
Is that more objective?
Or is it more ‘objective’
to provide traditional interpretive ‘balanced’ summary in a news story?
Granted,
this particular example is just a sample of the whole event,
but I think it manages to communicate the mood and atmosphere of the event
perhaps less superficially than in your more traditional broadcast news type story.
Case in point,
journalism is changing.
Revolution isn’t easy.

I can see this being useful in presenting two different views of the same event – let the viewer decide which version is the ‘best’, or ‘truest’ – or maybe a mixture of many (which in real life, is actually more usually the case…).
Great for presenting interviews or eyewitness reports of an event.
You could call it the ‘Rashomon Player’...

I’m struggling my way through Flash as we speak, so this is great stuff.
|
I admire and envy your tech ability
|
Very cool, Patrick. And a neat log on the fire of whether still or video tells a truer tale. W
|
Thanks. Personally, I prefer stills..
but I don’t believe in absolutism.
I believe in relativity.
Dialectic,
so to speak.
Gotta shoot a music festival.
I’ll be back with some new shit soon.

Like the jump – great idea, you can even make up your own poem by jumping between the screens. Patrick was interested in looking at the script – is the .fla in Flash 8, I only have MX and it won’t open in that? Thanks

Hello Angela, sorry I could not respond sooner I’m working as a media editor for the forecastle festival this weekend so I’m pretty busy.
I tried saving an MX version for you that you may download here:
http://www.gonzopj.net/poetry2/poetry-mx.fla
When I saved it as an MX version, however,
it said that it would lose actionscript 2 and unicode compatibility
so it may not work or have all the code.
Let me know if it doesn’t work for you
and I will get back to you as soon as time allows next week.
Sion,
I’ve got some flash files I can send to you later this week if you want
that you could ‘reverse engineer’ and might help you conquer flash.
Flash is a beast to learn
and there is multiple ways to do everything.
|
Thanks Patrick, I can access some script so I’ll play around and see if I can modify it to work, if need be. I looked at the Forecastle Festival online – looks very interesting – have fun!
|
very cool, patrick. love this kind of multi-source tool that allows alternate ‘points of view’ to be placed side-by-side…
|
Hi, Patrick
I’ll post separately regarding to Japan Media Arts Festival calls for entries, you could submit your works, I guess.
Shortly,
youme.
