This was a flash project that a friend of mine (Alliene B.) and I created together for a Digital Media show at UGA. The project contains two scenes and various animations that can be executed using a computer keyboard. Alliene worked on Scene 1 while I worked on Scene 2. Originally we intended for the project to be sort of an interactive drum machine of sorts where the animation keeps a specific beat and the viewer can interact with it with different keyboard button inputs for sound. Though as the project deadline was rapidly approaching, we found that coming up with further animations for the characters in Scene 1 and implementing various animations in Scene 2 was simply taking too long to be able to finish on time. Overall, we were pretty satisfied with the outcome, but we may continue the project at a later point to make it more interactive.
Scene 2, which is the one I worked on, features two character personas, Jordi and Baby Rhett, of whom are loosely based upon characters from a video game titled Genso Suikoden III. In this version of the characters, Jordi is a rather pathetically lazy wanna-be-business duck who has a "Bachelors of Everything from the University of Harbard." He runs a company called Jordi.Duck Productions, which is a conglomerate of organizations consisting of Production, Realestate, Private Investigations, and 'Marginal Legal Advice'. Baby Rhett is his child laborer personal assistant and receptionist who is still waiting on his first paycheck to arrive in the mail, and has been waiting for it since he was 3
The background song is "Work Song" by Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass.
