Placement – Day 2

Our second day started like the first, we were buzzed into the building, signed in and sat in front of our computers. I decided to crack on with the project i had left unfinished the evening before, I quickly finished putting the logos into a queue and then moving it all over into flash as 1 layer. Once it was in flash I created a background to the dimensions needed and then placed a rectangle over the background of the same colour so the logos would go underneath this and i could put the logo of the website onto of it. After I had laid it all out i had to animate the carousel style movement. to do this i joined up 3 copies of the reel and then converted them into 1 symbol. When animating it i had a problem with timing it so that the end of the reel looped correctly and looped seamlessly, it kept stopping and there would be a massive gap between where it ended and where it looped. I got past this by adding a fourth copy of the reel in a second layer and then making it so it ended in the same position it started it, this meant that when it looped it did it seamlessly. Unfortunately due to a family emergency I had to leave work early on the second day.
