INSTRUCTION


WEEK 9

This project is a continuation from project 1. We are required to add in betweens and cleanups for the short animation. Camera's to be altered accordingly and to capture appealing body language and animation that will reflect on the storyboard confirmed. 

Below are the list of outputs to be produced:
- Animation cleanups - timing, In betweens, Staging, and the necessary 12 principles of animation applied. 
- Scene confirmation with camera movements and statics 
- Set assets 
- Sound effects roughout
- Lighting setup

Due to rushing for the other module's submission, I only animated the first scene for this week.

fig. 1.0 ; first scene

Lecturer's Feedback :
- Improvise the hand.
- Move the camera nearer to the character.
- Play with the camera.
- Add more anticipation.

WEEK 10

According to the feedback given last week, I improvised the hand and fingers for the first scene and also added more anticipation and in-betweens for the character.

Furthermore, I continue to animate the second, third and last scene. It's quite challenging and need a lot of patience while animating.

fig. 1.4 ; third scene (2)

Third scene I had exported out in two different angle because I feel like both angle are quite nice. I planned to ask Mr. Kanan which one is better for the next class.

Lecturer's Feedback :
- Second scene start with half body then slowly zoom in.
- Cut of the unnecessary part. 
- Block out everything then link every scene together.
- For the third scene, both angle are nice.

WEEK 11

I edited each scene issues according to the feedback given last week. Moreover, I combined all the scene into one video in Adobe Premium Pro to check are they linked well a not.

fig. 1.5 ; first outcome

Lecturer's Feedback :
- The bird scene's angle bend it down a little bit, too much empty spaces behind.
- Check the timing.
- Add more dynamic sense.
- For the last scene, lends awhile then only cut at the end.
- Adjust a little more for each scene's acting.
- Add a little longer for some shot.

WEEK 12

Finally, I adjusted the issues Mr. Kanan had mentioned for each scene then export it out again. I tried a lot of way to export it out in a higher quality version but my Maya keep on clashing. Fortunately, it works! Below is my final outcome for this project :

REFLECTION

This project was frustrating. I didn't do it well as what I was expected in the beginning. I know I wasn't good at modelling that's why I used the given character in TEAMS. Before this, I wanted to download other character from online but I couldn't found a suitable one for my project. Besides that, my Maya keep on clashing while I was exporting the scenes. It's quite challenging and need a lot of patience to create a perfect animation. I feels exhausted every time while animating the character posture. It has to be very careful, when there's a part goes wrong, the whole outcome becomes weird. Certainly, I wasn't familiar with Maya and not patience enough. I have lost faith in this project.

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND IMAGING - Week 1

WEEK 1 (16 / 04 / 2020 ) Lectures :  After briefing of the class, we installed Photoshop and played a game named Bezier . It's not very challenging for me because I have finished this game on Monday in the Illustration and Visual Narrative class. So this is the second time I played this game as practising . The Bezier Game :  link:  https://bezier.method.ac/ Practical : Exercise 1 Three of my favourite photoshop works: by Magdiel Lopez This Photoshop designed by Magdiel Lopez is a man's head that splited into 4 parts. The contrast are built with black and white but he used 3 plain colours (orange , red and purple) to highlight the split between of them. I think this is quite an easy editing but it's very creative. from graphicriver.net  It's just a simple photo at first but after adding some effects and design, it became to be a very artistry image that is very eye-catching. I like the colour palette the way it represented, it

In science fiction, the most recognizable portrayal of a cyborg is a human being with visibly mechanical parts . It is common for cyborgs to have physical or mental abilities beyond what humans are capable of. They may have super strength, enhanced senses, computer-assisted brains, or built-in weaponry. Conceptual : - I roughly sketched three idea for my cyborg project. For sketch 1 idea, I imagined my body to a thin robot because I have a little belly and I always wish to have a slim and healthy body shape like a model but it's really difficult to keep fit and exercise everyday. So I sketched out two of my imagination as the first one is a little bit cool and sim
