This video was my first experience using Flash animation. I created a storyboard and script comically complaining about the hot weather. It’s a simple one shot animation about a man who is fed up with the heat and the sun, who is teasing him. The man throws a rock, hits the Sun, and angers him. The Sun summons some thunder clouds, which strike the man and “poof,” he’s gone. The Sun moves toward the screen and his eyes follow along the credits. I added some background characters which are the field mouse, the flying vulture chasing him, and the rattlesnake at the right of the screen. I thought the choice of music would add to the comedy of the scene.
