Yume - Ayame Project

Yume Ayame Project 2006

**This is a 11mb flash movie!**

~ How to view ~
Since its such a big file, it will take a few minitues to load it. It might appear laggy sometimes during in the first play, but the movie is on loop so it will run smoothly the second time! ^^
If not.. hmm try to download it ;;

~Something to read while waiting for it to download ^^
Maybe some of you have already heard of this project I worked on for some few months ago. Ive taken a few pictures of it up here to deviantart! For those who doesn't know what this is about I can give ya a quick brief here and now!
I went to a media school the year 2005/2006 to study 3D arts, design and animation. In the middle of the second semester we started working on the first phase of our diploma commission, the final task that would make the result of our graduation papers. Actually something more important than the final exam ((well, we could call it our unofficial exam)). I was free to make whatever I would like to, as long as it included an animation and the media was a short movie.

I was without any idea in the start, but after sketching some random figures and characters I ended up with a chibi style of a female ninja who was highly inspired by the female ninja, Ayame from the Tenchu video games. I called my character Yume for no apparent reason, however true Tenchu fans (and ninjas) have seen through that name "disguise"
Anyways first phase (4 weeks): Modelling a character and texture it.
The next phase (another 4 weeks): Rigging the character and make a small animation of it.
Final project, third phase for me (4 weeks): Do whatever you want. I decided to continue on my animation.

Ack! Im trying my best to keep this short.. but I obviously suck at that :c
Okay, so I started working on it everday (including weekends), was spending more time at school than home, and I finished the animation and I graduated with an A ~ Horray!! ^o^/ You know that good feeling of finishing something you have been working on for an eternity? Good feeling ey? ^^

Well.. :3 Since then Ive been pretty lazy and I finaly took some time to convert my video to a flashformat, hopefully viewable to everyone who wish to see! :3
Please enjoy!

Oh.. and one more thing! There is something I dont understand with this flashfile. It seems like one of the frames during the movie (when she kicks him) is... offset? Anyways it will appear as a small glitch! I dont know how to fix this! Im so sorry!
