Reflection

This project was different from our previous ones because we had to learn to work as a team. Our group did a great job planning what we were going to do, so everything went extremely smoothly. We set out tasks and had a workflow where each person would pass their work onto the next person. Everyone got their own portion of the project done in a timely manner, and offered to help others finish their contributions as well. Each group member brought something different to the table, and we did a great job of delegating appropriate tasks to each person. Overall, there were no major problems, and when something we thought would work initially didn't, we found a quick replacement or compromise.

In the process of making this project, we learned about some details and features of Photoshop and Flash. We also learned to be flexible, because some of our original ideas didn’t end up working out quite how we imagined. For example, we considered a couple of different gifs before choosing one to dissect, and we tossed around a few different ideas for audio trying to figure out what would best enhance the illusion and the gif. If we did the project again, we might try to figure out how to make the loop smoother to create a more continuous experience of the illusion.
