Practising with Flash

As I have not used Adobe Flash since last April I decided to create a simple animation just so I could get back into using Flash again. This helped remind me how to draw shapes and set up tweens and helped me to feel comfortable with the software again. I just created a pair of eyeballs and made them roll and blink. 

Animation Brainstorm of Ideas

I decided to create a brainstorm of possible ideas that I could pursue for my animation project. As you can see from this spider diagram I am really unclear on what to do and cannot seem to detail an idea enough to for it to be a powerful worthwhile idea. I am not keen on any of these so I know I need to get inspired somehow. Its frustrating as last year for my second year project I got an idea and instantly loved it and felt confident whereas this year I seem to be struggling.

I have attempted to drawn out some sketches for the Russian Dolls idea to see if that helps to inspire me with a narrative but I still feel stuck.
