Your PSA is due at the end of this week (that's thursday due to the 3-day weekend). Even if you're done, watch it one last time. After having a few days away from it, you may catch things you need to improve or timing issues. Also, read you subtitles one more time, are they shown for a long enough period of time for a viewer to read the full sentence?

Whats Next?
This week, we will be starting Flash. What's do great about flash? A lot actually. Flash is used to create internet games (example 1 2), videos(example 1 2), and websites (examples 1 2; not all websites use flash). Of course, the understanding of flash needed to create these is much higher than you can gain in just a couple weeks, so this is just a starting point.

Getting Started in Flash
Introduction to Flash.

This video will tell you about the flash interface and workspace. It will also provide you with information regarding convenient and useful hot-keys/shortcut-keys. Try using them.

After watching the third video, you should be able to start drawing in flash. Create a character to use in our Flash activities.
