It's true! Evolution happens. And my project went through one last night.
A problem I was having with my project yesterday was that while I was progressing fairly nicely on the video portion, I wasn't exactly sure how I was hitting my message. So, as per Wendy's instructions, I decided to do a bit of focused user testing with some of my friends who are in the target audience (namely, people who are somewhat familiar with games).
Results were.... not good.
As the video went along, the audience was focused more on the technological advances rather than the character design itself. And quite frankly, I have neither the time nor the skills to focus a video better on that subject (On the other hand, I do have plans for how I would go about doing that and a working copy of iMovie. I suppose what I'm saying is that a video project that actually works for my goals is not out of the running forever.)
So, with that in mind, I was forced last night to re-tool my project with a fairly major constraint. Namely, time. Luckily, I hate sleep (no I don't) and I also have a working copy of photoshop. And so we come to my mock up, what I'm titling the Evolution of the Avatar. I feel it hits my point better, even if it's still a rough piece of work. That said, it is mostly done, requiring a bit more text and maybe a few more characters.
