Development

I wrote a proposal for my senior project and presented it before class with stirring vigor and confidence.

Dr. Beck asked about expected difficulties. I responded my challenges will be dealing with multimedia, with which I am relatively inexperienced, and working with Flash, with which I am a total n00b.

Stephen Walter asked about difficulties in overlaying regions on top of existing video. I responded that it seems to be possible, as I have seen examples before. One example is Homestar Runner, of all things, which runs a video which sometimes contains invisible clickable regions as easter eggs. Another example is the Japanese site Nico Nico Douga which allows user-created text to run over top of streaming video. The main challenge will be in figuring out how to define these regions and objects on the fly and save them and replay them, etc. But I am pretty sure it is possible, from what I know about Flash. Which is very little.

The proposal can be found in the files section.
