@05:34Thank you! Yeah, using Flash for the first or second time for actual animation on this one so there are a lot of problems. I was running out of time also, so there were lots of shortcuts on the animation, but most of all, exporting it resulted in pixelation and some of the jerky motion that shows up... but it's all a learning process! :3

Yeah, the actor was doing a King Lear play at the time and was required to grow his hair. Unfortunately this affected continuity. XD It would have been re-shot as well if we had more time, but we were still filming and editing a week prior to the deadline, we just had to stick with it lol. XD
Thanks for your comment! :)

This was my Final Major Project for my Interactive Media college course which ended 24th June.

It was joint winner of Yale College Wrexham's Media Awards '09 for "Best ND Film" with another film called "Iris" voted for by students.

"Only In Dreams" was an idea I came up with to pitch to my classmates and it was voted as one of the projects that would be produced. I worked on it in a team of 5 people. I wrote the script and animated all of the animated sequences as well as editing the finished product.

Steve Owen was my director and co-editor, Lara Edwards was my producer, Gareth "West" Crosbie was my camera operator/DOP, Alex "Dex" Huxley worked on sound and my sister, Emily Roberts did production stills. Karen Bird, my tutor and Executive Producer helped with finalising the script among many other details, to which I owe her and the creators of this film everything.

All of my animation was created in Adobe Flash CS4 with a Wacom Tablet. Each shot lasts about 3 seconds on average and took 3-4 hours to animate, lineart and colour each one, including in-betweens.

I'd also like to thank my very talented actors...
Joshua Bartley as "Arthur"
Elizabeth Nield as "Lilly"
and Katherine Evers-Swindell as "Miss Williams" and the voice of "Anaya".

Music and sound effects are from copyright free resources or recorded on original footage.

Thanks for watching, enjoy!

Thanks! Yeah a lot of the sound needed re-recording in a sound booth so there's lots of problems still that couldn't be changed! It was a learning process :) Thank you! ^^

@05:34My word! Gem that was excellent! I can't believe I didn't check you gallery sooner.
I will confess that her animation was a little edgy (jerkish in motion???) but I'm totally impressed! Congrats on the award! You all deserve it! A really sweet short film ^_^
