//**Did you draw up a project plan?**// Yes we did, we thought about what we should use for our characters. //**If so, did you stick with this plan?**// Yes we did. We used our ideas for our characters and scenes. //**Did you draw up a storyboard showing what ideas you had for each scene?**// No we didnt. We just went straight into drawing them on Scratch //**Did you stay with this plan?**// Yes we did. We used the scenes and characters and we sticked with the idea of making it a bit childish for children //**What were the difficulties you had with: Animation? Audio? Dialogue? Drawings?**// We had a lot of difficulty with the audio as at first it didnt accept the audio we made and when we recorded it went all fuzzy. But we got through in the end, //**What other difficulties did you have through the development?**// I think when we changed over from a game to a story as that took us a while to decide. //**How did you overcome each one of them?**// We worked with a can do attitude. Sometimes we got a bit cross with what it was doing but in the end we got through //**Are there any parts of your animation which are not working?**// Some times the audio is not working. //**What were the fun parts of the project?**// Making the characters! //**Jess and my assignment.**//
