INSTRUCTION


WEEK 13

Continuation from project 2, we are to complete the full short animation with polished output that will be composited and edited with voice recording and sound effects. Each shots will be rendered in plates (Foreground, Midground and Background). Title will be added and if there is any motion graphics or 2D animation can be also added in. 

There are two weeks left for this semester. Everyone was rushing for this final project. I tried to find a park image that suitable for my animation background. I found a park model from Sketchfab which I think can suit my short animation. 

Therefore, I exported the angle I want for each scene then added the background using After Effects. Below is my first outcome :

Lecturer's Feedback :
- The background must be modeled, anything that the character need to interact with must be 3d.
- Add longer for the video, 17 second wasn't enough.
- The model just keep it simple.
- Bring down the angle lower and zoom it out a little bit for the bird scene.
- Suggestion for the ending scene : The bird landing on the character's forehead then she gets crazy.
- Add more in-betweens for each scenes.

WEEK 14

I imported the background into Maya and added some shadows for the character. Other than that, I animated the last scene which Mr. Kanan suggested. I think it was better after I added the last scene.

After blocking out all the animation and scenes, I edited the sound in Adobe Audition. I downloaded the bird, ambience and screaming sound in Freesound.org. Then, I adjusted the timing and finally export it out.

I send it to Mr. Kanan through WhatsApp as a final consultation before submitting it. He suggested me to improve the fingers and posture, it looks very stiff. Besides that, I can submit the final project.

I adjusted all the posture in detailed this time. Finally, I was happy with my final outcome.

REFLECTION

I wasn't very happy with my final outcome but I tried my best. Due to the submission deadline and other modules submission, I can't make it as good as what I was expected from the beginning of the semester. It took me a lot of time to adjust the details and applying the principles for the animation. I found that I was lack of interest in modelling and animation, that's why I can't do it well. I watched many YouTube videos tutorial to improve my animating skills but the results still the same. Really appreciate Mr. Kanan for his patience, he taught us a lot of extra technique and skills, and also shared his experiences and articles for us to study. He is an attentive and responsible lecturer. I struggling hard for this project to make it perfect before I submit. Hope my final outcome didn't disappoint him.

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
