Self-Assessment of Project

Story Rewrite: I would give myself a 4 because I tried really hard to improve my original plot line. My original plot was quite boring and did not have much detail. After much revision, I have improved the plot into a much more interesting story.

Character Illustration: I would give myself a 4 because I drew all my characters using a computer mouse rather than using pre-made shapes. This way, I got to customize the characters the way we imagined them. I also used color in my animation to reflect the ideas we had when conjuring the characters up from our imaginations.

Title: I would give myself a 4 for the title "Illuminati". I feel that this accurately outlines the plot in which we have the Illuminati as the main antagonist. We chose this title because it is simple, yet effective.

Credits: I would give myself a 4 for the credits because the credits showed who did the work.

Text: I would give myself a 4 for the text because I used uniform text for all speech bubbles in order to make reading the text easier and smoother for the audience.

Color: I would give myself a 4 for color because I used color in my animation to reflect the ideas we had when conjuring the characters up from our imaginations. Also, I took the time to add in color where appropriate such as the stars in my space background to give a sense of dimension.

Characters: I would give myself a 4 for characters because we took the time to make up our own characters. We used the animation tools in Flash to accurately depict the characters as we imagined them.

Story: I would give myself a 4 for the story because I think the story is quite smooth. The plot is simple yet humorous.

Illuminati

This is my animation, called Illuminati.

When the character Alexis is sliding across the scene, she is supposed to be running. Because I had to upload this as a GIF,  the movie-in-a-movie mechanism that works in Flash is not supported. In the original animation, Alexis is running across the screen and near the end, the Illuminati's arms are supposed to be wiggling.

Illuminati Story Rewrite

Illuminati

Act 1: Illuminati, along with sidekick Yoshi, are hovering in space destroying planets one at a time. In the background, we see the lovely planet Earth. On Earth, two high school students (top of their class and future valedictorians). notice the strange activity in the sky. The guy, Tyler, decides to investigate. He and Alexis transform into superheroes, and they fly to the outskirts of the solar system.

Act 2: On their way, they encounter Illuminati and Yoshi. They fight, but the Illuminati inevitably wins. Barely alive, the two heroes regain consciousness and fly back to Earth to warn the residents. Meanwhile, Illuminati and Yoshi destroy Mars.

Act 3: Once notified, the entire military force of Earth begin preparations for war. They fire at the Illuminati but to no avail. Seeing that Earth was getting weaker, Tyler and Alexis try to help. They are destroyed along with Earth by Illuminati.

Logline: Civilians fight against Illuminati in a hopeless battle to the death.
