Week 23 - 25

First character was developed on the 16th of September, Tuesday.
Character Name: Professor Dumbo

Professor Dumbo was created and labeled as the main animated character of the safety videos. After researching on cartoon images regarding laboratory coats, scientists, laboratory equipments and safety, we came to a conclusion that Professor Dumbo would be the culprit and victim for some laboratory accidents. As shooting real life videos of accidents would be very dangerous, we have decided to make a re-enactment via animation.

The professor would initially be animating clumsy actions or being careless, before facing the consequences of his actions. The precaution will then be shown in the animation to bring across the message to the viewers that precaution is better than cure.

The character was created after much familiarizing with Macromedia Flash 8.
