Which point we are in the time line

Until this time, we are now keeping in touch with the Gantt Chart regarding the project's deadline that the client set to us.

We have finished 90% of the flash, including the main flash, and sub flashes.

We have received lots of valuable feedbacks from the classmates today. They got some problems with navigating around the site; it took them few seconds to get what they wanted; the audio also needed to be adjusted by the users through a slide bar.

Here are few things that need to be done in the next couple of days:

1. Add data [information] into the flash, including dance history, contact information, credit.
2. Fix the navigation.
3. Sound control panel.
   

Shoot Video again

Friday (27th April): 10:00am - 12:00pm

• Quy Lam + Tam
• NOTE: for the first 15 mins, test for the light, import video into computer to see the result.

Tuesday (1st May): 2:00pm - 4:00pm

• Urko + Ha

Problems for today post-production

1. Transparent bacground can not be applied to DVCPRO HD(720p) 16:9
Solution:

• Convert DVCPRO 720p into PAL
• OR record in PAL (720 x 576)

2. The video is so dark
Solution:

• Set up more lighting.

We got some problems with HD video

Because of the want to have a really good video quality, we have decided to shoot the video at 1080i resolution. Then, we have over 15 GB for 15 mins of video and that's big!
The machine took a long time to post-process.
--> It's not feasible!

So, we decided to reduce the resolution for the next shooting to 720x576.

Latest News for Week 7

The project is going to its hard phase;
We have decided each member's role for the next week:

• Lam: makes graphic pieces used for flash, including vectors and bitmaps.
• Cuong: responsible for handle the recompose the music
• Trung: works on the action scripts, and layout the flash structure.
  

A successful video testing

Together with Justin, our tutor, we have shooted some pieces of video by his High-Definition Camera.
The result was so so so good, we were totally satisfied with it! ^_^
