TE 889 Multimedia Development - Flash Game with Video Integration

Reflective Statement:
This educational Flash game is the same game listed under TE 888 Multimedia Production, but it has been enhanced with the integration of video. This Flash enhancement project was done for the class TE 889 Multimedia Development. It uses live action video mixed in with the regular animation. The majority of the actual video used with the Flash game is at the end (a link to jump to the end of game is provided within the game itself so as to view the video integration portion).

Process Statement:
This was a very interesting and frustrating project in that mixing Flash and video can be complicated. It isn’t difficult to have both medias together, but it is difficult to try and have both interact or meld together. This was a great project to improve my skills with Flash in that Flash is a very powerful tool that has many applications within education. Through the process of working on the project I have come to better appreciate that games and simulations created with Flash can be a valuable asset with regards to instructional technology.

Assessment Statement:
I consider this project to be partially successful in that I was able to accomplish what I wanted to do (combine live action video with Flash), but artistically I didn’t like the way it looked. In the future I might try a slightly different approach such as video demos throughout the game. The main skills gained and improved upon with this project are: Flash skills, video editing, audio manipulation, lighting, special effects: use of green screen.
