Sound Effects

I'm writing the storyboard of our adventure and I think that maybe we could add sound effects (like dishes that break when we are in the kitchen, traffic jam noises when we are on the street...) to our story :)
I found this website with lots of sound effects http://www.universal-soundbank.com/ambiances_interieure.htm

Spinning effect (2)

About the spinning effect add-on for the newspaper image, I made the 2 examples below :

The first one is a "windows maker" effect that I showed my team during the last class. But I don't know how to integrate Alexandra's picture in the white square ...

For the second one, I used a spinning effect on Alexandra's picture directly. Despite I find it slow, I think it's better than the first try.

The Prime Minister in alert !

Hello ! This is a try for the prime minister picture on the second scene. I don't know what to give him as a head... A cartoon? A caricature?

Spinning effect

I've been browsing on the net for a free spinning effect add-on for the newspaper image. Haven't found anything...I've managed to do it in a powerpoint, but I don't know whether we'll be able to make it work in the ebook. If you've no idea what I'm going on about (highly likely and entirely my fault), take a look at this :

detectives

This was a quick sketch of possible characters for the detectives I did a few days ago.
Since then, the three of us have agreed that the detectives should be two females - breaks the mould, little girl readers will be able to identify more easily to the characters...and means we don't have to dress up in silly costumes!
