At the start of this project, we had intended to not only create an animation, but also an interactive flash. The idea being that instead of the user having to sit though the entire animtion, they could simply decide which event they wished to learn about and only watch that section of the animation.
Due to time constraints, a little lack of cooperation and some bad luck, we were unfortunately unable to do this. We all underestimated the amount of time that it would take to render our animations. We were rendering right up until a few days before we had to present our final animation to our client, along with all of the other groups. So finding the time to render took forever.
The week before the animation, we did discuss the possibility of creating the template to the flash file and simply slotting in a lower resolution version of each of our sections later once our HD renders had completed. However, we could not come to an agreement. So we had to wait until we had finished our final renders before even considering to create the flash. However, due to one of our members being ill on the final week, we decided to forget about it and focus purely on the final animation.
It would have been nice to be able to submit both a continuous and interactive Essex tourism animation, but in the end, it all seemed to be too much for us.
