Well, I know I start a lot of projects (especially recently) but this one isn't my fault.
I have to do a flash animation of a 'nursery rhyme' which contains the history of the chosen rhyme at the end of the movie.
Yes, this is school work.

I decided to do a sprite animation (I've acquired the sprites via google) of Vater Unser (english: Our Father) which is the german version of "The Lord's Prayer", a popular bible verse that's made it's way into many songs.

On the bright side, since I'm being graded on this... it WILL get done. Down side, due to there being a deadline... it'll take up most of my time. (so ANOTHER delay on Nyaar...)

So far, I've gotten all of the words synced to the music. (I have the german lyrics on top of the screen and the english lyrics on the bottom)
I've just started doing the rest of the animation... then I decided I'd share the project with you guys.
I'll show you guys my progress so far by either tomorrow, or sometime later tonight.

Here's the official music video to the song in question (just so you can hear what song I'm doing this to):

(PS. Yeah... I don't like the official one much either. Still I love the song. Can't embed the movie though.)

oh you need to double click the video because it seems Universal Music disabled embeeding

sounds promising though, I am curious how it will turn out

I really hated school PC projects personally, because they were usually unfair for people who couldn't afford to buy a computer at home, meaning extremly limited time to work on the project. Had I got a PC at home back in 2000-2004 a lot of my school PC projects would have been signifiantly better than they did

yeah I still managed to do some kinda overboard things in hi school (in college this changed since the projects were too demanding for someone with no computer). In hi school I had to do two visual Basic games on slow computers. The first year I was still slowly learning, but the second year i had lot of experience with calc programming so for my final project, I wrote a string tilemapper for the adventure/treasure searching game (which is in the archives, btw). We needed to have at least 8 rooms for max score as well as 8 items to find. I had 8 items, but I had about 50 rooms. I also had the smallest game in file size. Unfortunately I lost 20 points for not adding a high score system because i spent so much time on other stuff, but also I didn't felt like adding one because I felt it was stupid and wouldn't fit in such game, not to mention I could have cared less about that 20 pts since I was alerady admitted to college at that point and I still got 80% anyway

Okay, here's what I've gotten so far.
About 4 hours of work only.

No, the menu and loading screen won't be THAT plain. They're just placeholders.
Yeah, I know... not much animation... but syncing up the lyrics perfectly took a long time.
Not to mention the research needed to get it translated correctly. (the translators only helped a bit and no one has a site with the lyrics perfectly translated yet either)
Um... enjoy?
