Name: Kelly Williamson

Meaning of your name: "Warrior Maiden"

Department: MFA Film and Electronic Media

Your experience with computer graphics, programming and/or animation(what software ?) I used to be the webmaster for the American Forest & Paper Association, so I have some experience with HTML. I've created web ads using Photoshop and had some short animation in them.

What do you hope to accomplish with this class? Career goals.? I plan to be a cinematographer, but I thought it would be interesting to learn more about animation and game creation so I could possibly branch out into other fields at some point.

Hometown: I'm a Navy brat, so I don't really have a hometown or I have lots of them -- Norfolk, Va, Wahiawa, Hi, San Diego, Ca, and Detroit, Mi.

Favorite music: I'll listen to anything, but my favorite band is U2.

Place in the world you'd most like to visit: India

Hobbies and things you like to do outside of school: Read, watch films, spend time with friends and family, paint, photography, graphic design, music, practice piano, concerts, and decorate my apartment.

Educational or Social issue(s) you are passionate about: Child abuse, animal abuse, war in Iraq, and Irish unification.

• Kelly, nice, clear layout and use of color. I'm not sure looping animation here helps the cause, though. It's pretty distracting. You have a doable project idea and am looking forward to more specifics when we the project proposals.
• Also, please upload and include a link to your .fla file with each swf so we can all see how you did it. -Brian

Proposal link:media:Vtgirl1993_FlashProposal.doc‎ An excellently laid out proposal Kelly and very doable. You should be able to get a popup with a few states operating by the end of the Intro to Flash class. You may want to give yourself additional time in some of your tasks though, especially number 5. -Brian
