Slave Trade Lives On

The file is a little over 5 mb. Sorry about that. Couldn't figure out a good way to compress the audio further without losing all quality.

This is for a contest for globalsolutions.org. I submitted my entry at 11:45pm last night, 15 min before the deadline.

Yes, I realize there are a bajillion and one things wrong with this flash, but I was pressured for time. Not too bad considering I had a rough school term, finals, heart palpitations during finals, a rough bout with the flu during spring break, a not entirely relaxing trip to the grandparent's, bad allergies, shoulder problems, transferring schools in one week, moving, college tuition threatened, building my WoW guild (though not technically important), etc. ...but hey, that's life right? Hell of a lot better than what these trafficking victims go through though.

Oh! ..and go easy on me. This is my second finished flash. EVER. The first was the Animal Crossing spoof I submitted earlier on DA. Helpful crit is always welcome though. I love to learn new things, especially if they make my flash ventures a little less stressful.

I picked the topic because I wanted to raise awareness that this still goes on. Many people know that pandas are near extinct, or the ozone is disappearing, or the oceans are being polluted, but not many know that the slave trade is still 800,000 victims strong internationally.

Thanks to globalsolutions.org for the opportunity for the project.
Thanks to NewGrounds for the quick and dirty tutorials (reason why I left the pre-loader with NGs logo)
Thanks to the few awesome individuals who helped critique on my music and storyboards.

Artwork and animation is all me.
Music is all me. Made in Digidesign's Protools with Reason and Sampletank. I was sick at the time I recorded the vocals (finals week). Sorry for the nasal-sounding bits and less than perfect mastering.
