Creative Oppertunity



In my life I've never really had any contacts outside of college or school that have provided me with a creative opportunity. Except for maybe one, when I was living in Seven Hills while I was at college in Newark-on-Trent, whilst there I used to visit my friend Marshall and I got to know the family and I used to occasionally keep his little brother company and get lifts into town sometimes. When Christmas came His mother Barbra got me a copy of Flash MX 2007 as a present, which I was really happy to get. When I got it installed on a computer I used to practice on it all the time for a good year and a half, teaching myself how to use it. When my FMP (Final Major Project) came around at the end of the college media course it was up to me to do my own project so I made a 5 min flash animation and film called Tall Hat Man, it was a featurette movie pretending to be about a made up game that will be coming out soon, showing a demo and interviews with staff.

If it wasn't for being given the opportunity to play around with flash I wouldn't have been able to do the project for my FMP and I wouldn't have gotten the 3 Distinctions I was awarded for it, therefore I wouldn't have gotten the points to get into uni. I feel that this was an important opportunity for me and without it things might not have been the same and I certainly wouldn't have the skills I have on Flash today.
