Heat Haze

Mine is centred around my old place of in Cabbage Town I attempt to take on a much more emotional view of having a place. I decide to play on my feeling that have developed over the years for that place that seems just to far to visit so often I have expressed them with “Rewind”. I created an interactive story book titled “Rewind” that featured a short burst of animations like components since it is still something I’m very keen on working with. 

The reasoned it was named “Rewind” is because whenever I think of old memories I think of an old cassette tape that is being rewind ready to be watched again, old movies that just punch you with nostalgia, it’s similar to the feeling I get whenever I head downtown, the glitch parts also come from this old cassette concept. Every scene in this story are actual memories of mine, no background is made up only uncoloured due to lack of memory since I know for sure many things have been painted over, the entire conversation is based on a real one I had with that very person. The only thing that had been altered is near the ending when asked what wrong with Etobicoke? Before I when I was asked that, I had no idea what to say, the real answer is said to him is still very much in the story but hidden behind glitches because I really do regret handling the question the way I did but now that more time has passed I realized the answer, and the altered ending is the result of that that realization.

Working with Flash was really fun! It really is a shame I couldn’t use Flash much more sine I overestimated the greatness of my old first gen Ipad, and the huge learning curve that Flash has. This project though was agony just because I set up a huge hurdle for myself and it resulted in taking forever to even get half way done (the total time making this from beginning to end is a little under two month) I still had fun regardless of the stress I had over this conflicting with other work and might just end up steal the laptop again when my work load dies down just to fiddle around more in Flash, I wish to make something spectacular and I assure you this, this is just a test run to make sure I’m up for the challenge.
