This week we were given the task to create a 30-90 second flash video on the subject of statistics. Since the deadline for this project is quite tight (we have only one month to learn how to use flash, develop our storyboard and create the animation) I had to make a decision on the subject for my statistics pretty quickly. I have chosen to create an animation on the story of Roy sullivan- a West Virginian park ranger who was struck by lightning seven times on seperate occasions (the odds of this happening are reported to be 16,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 - sixteen septillion to one.) I have begun my research into motion graphics and animation and have found some really inspiring stuff. Links are below and make sure you watch Johnny Kelly's Procrastination embedded in this post.
