"It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow."
I have now finished recreating all thirteen sections of Wallace Stevens' famous poem "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" as short Flash animations; and I've also built a crab-apple-tree interface for the whole thing.
For readers who have been following this project since February, when it started, the new sections are numbers 3 ("Autumn winds"), 5 ("Inflections and innuendos"), 8 ("Noble accents") and 13 ("It was evening all afternoon").

Congratulations :) I like the first and last of the new sections most. WHat did you use as background sound in the third piece? There's a human voice, but I can't make out what it says...
Don't forget to post your next projects! :)
Marcos - sorry not to have replied earlier. The background-sound in the "Autumn Winds" section is a refrain from a Randy Newman song - the voice is singing "They're trying to wash us away". It's actually me singing, but I processed the soundtrack. The song in question is "Louisiana 1927", which refers to a historic flood; but when Hurricane Katrina hit the USA people started playing the song again and it quickly became a kind of anthem for the disaster.
