Problems DVD Studio Playback

Here i am having a problem with playback of my sequence. I have tried a number of different formats when you have the option of exporting as a mov but changing the settings and this green strip still happens. After searching the net i cant find any soultion therefor i plan to leave it and ask the teaching staff when i return to college.

I have looked at all the logical idea like linked files and diffrent formats but no matter what i try i keep getting this problem.

Poster In There Surroundings

Here i have placed the posters in there surroundings ,that being a billboard and magazine

Posters

I have now designed my posters and instead of using a still from my sequence i have decided to keep my cultural refrence to cowboys. I have designed the poster as a wanted poster with an image of the creator of the drink Jack Daniel then i have weathered the image to give it more of a style.

Sequence After Crit

Here is my sequence after the class crit after changes like adding a herd of bulls, mountains and clouds. Also removing the gunshots at the end due to advertising rules

Developed Ideas

Here i have developed objects for my sequence after class crit suggestions ...

Cactus

Mountains

Planning changes From Commets

Crit Suggestions I plan to do

• Put more bull behind the fence, then multiply to replicate a herd
• Keep swinging arm when bucking
• Follow the cowboy when flying
  
• Create more in background like mountains and cactus
• Flip arm so the thumb is on the inside

My Plans from Other Suggestions (in red is my idea / plan )

• Develop the jump of the man on to the bull - I plan to make the man more flexible when he jumps on the bull
• Move the arm when walking - I plan only to sway it a little
• The background is moving in the wrong direction - It seems like that to the eye when but it is moving the right way
• Horizon is too high - I feel that it is at a right hight because I wan to imply that it is a wide spreading desert
• Could make guitar guy different to flying guy and the flying guy goes past - I can get a different colour leather for the waistcoat and make a different cowboy
• Cant use gun sounds due to advertsing rules - This is right after I recapped on my research

Sequence Before Class Crit

Here is my sequence before the class crit. I can see some suggestions being made to my sequence. i feel that i could improve the movement of the figure a bit better also i have a feeling that i can use gunshot noises.

Move To the Beat

After having the suggestion of moving a part of the cowboy to the beat of the music i decided to research it and test it. After searching the net i found a site(http://www.pixel2life.com/publish/tutorials/70/animating_with_sound/) that showed how to do this. The way in which this was done was by using the audio amplitued function and only using the both channels of the music. I then placed the arm so it looked like it was playing the guitar.

Eye Experiment

After having the suggestion of adding face features to my character i have decided to add a animated eye instead of a whole face. This is because i feel that by adding an eye it is enough to give the animation charter.

This animation was created by having diffrent shaped eye lids and creating the motion of the eyelids open and shut
