Development of Penguin comic

after preparing the story board for the comic I worked out I would need 8 different sections of small movie clips to tell the story so I set out to produce the 8 animated clips in flash. Using my story board for guidance the story came to life and I feel the penguins personalities gradually revealed themselves as you progress through the 'comic'.

I found animating the characters took alot of time and the preparation of the artwork was very time consuming, after I had the main artwork done I focused on trying to create a believable narrative.

After completing the 'comic' I exhibited it and I was really pleased with the response, not only the children enjoyed it but also alot of adults made comments about their enjoyment of the story and everyone who tested it didn't show any problems with the navigation of the site. I feel that there is a commercial opportunity with interactive comics. I would like to take it further and explore other story lines and it could be a viable business in the future.
