api speech control

there's this API Speech Control that allows us to set certain word/term function as the

API Speech Control

Allows us to set certain term/word and connect to Dreamweaver, set as a function and work as a button, to trigger the video.

Unfortunately, there's a mic icon and also few blank space to show the words they've detected and also the word we set to trigger.

All these icons and blanks would most probably spoilt the user experience.


We have few solutions to solve it..First of all, is to create a frame to cover the video and also the mic icon...

or to make certain "box" with html to cover the white blank and leave a small mic

However, tis is only for submission purpose. For exhibition wise, I might think of other way such as cover a black physical frame at the computer screen.. So that user wont get to see the mic icon but it's still planning stage... =)

Anyway, there's another limitation also as the term/word that speaks out have to be in certain tone because this has been set in the data base. Therefore during presentation, I've to look for a person to act as my user and before that I've to train her with the tone.

After all, I've chose this as my final execution method.

Last shooting DONE

Finally, I've finished my last shooting of this video!!!!! 
We started around 12 something and tried our best to rush cause there're quite some scene that we need to shoot by today
and it's not an easy one..
require certain acting skill and some dialogue..

Before the actual shooting, we try out lil bit..





Unfortunately, we have not enough time..
Even some of the shots are not really good, but I've to stop them and proceed to the next scenes..
So no choice, those scene that I've not enuf time to shoot in TOA..I've to just simply get a place (Staircase/corridor) to shoot..eventhough there's no special lighting..
Everything have to be done in post production.


Anyway, finally I've done with this. 

RELEASE a lil bit ~ =)

- color correction for memories -

Finally I've done the part that require this 3 girls to be together ..


First of all is the memories part,
there're some parts that I would show some of the memories so that the audience would be more clear about the background story..

Initially, I edited the color to be more vivid..but then I realize some of the movies they actually made the "memories scene" to sepia..
so that audience could differentiate those scenes are "past tense" ...


So here I've a more sepia type of color..



- vivid type of color -

"Voiceattack"


voice attack is a software that able to link with adobe flash and use voice control to trigger certain button /video. 
However, we have to train the voice to trigger and it has to be only one person.
The bad part is in order to use this software I would have to crack it with another programme name "RunAsDate" 
So here's some screenshots I've taken.



Screenshots above shown the programme "RunAsDate". 
I've to fill in the blanks and at the end click on the "Create Desktop Shortcut" then its done.
In future if the "VoiceAttack" expired I would just have to open "RunAsDate" and key in the same Date/Time then I can reuse this programme.



So here's the VoiceAttack. 


Unfortunately after this "VoiceAttack" expired and I used back the same way, key in the same date/time into RunAsDate but still couldn't use this programme. 
Therefore I've to continue look for another software for my fyp.

more researches for interface design


So I look for more references for my interface design again..and I found out that I kinda like this three pictures which they have this "low opacity round shape" as the base and typo in it.

I think it's kinda "modern" and "simple".

Compare to those traditional video player's solid frame or solid button... I personally think this kind of low opacity shapes and typography would be more interesting. Less bored. 







So here I got some of the references on TYPOGRAPHY.










After all, I've decided to play with typography on the options part of my video. 
Then I've list out my options part that require "interface design".

1- answer phone call ( to inform user that they should answer the call )
2- whose problems ( choose between meizhen & vanessa )
3- turn left/right ( at corridor after all the flash back )
4- start again ( small ending after meizhen found simyee )
5- up/down ( staircase part during escape )

6- Ending ( Do you want to be my next roommate? )
