Project 4 Thumbnails

I've had these sitting in my sketchbook for about a week now and haven't gotten around to posting them yet... and I'm already halfway done with the animation! So without further ado, here was my original, rough concept for what the animation would be:

I hadn't quite figured out what I wanted to do with the little stone animation, but now I know I'll be having it move across the screen at several point. I'll also have what is going on in the poem itself affect the qualities of the stone (color, light, objects hitting it, etc). I'm going to try and post a SWF of the animation as it looks right now in the next post and explain the changes further.
