INSTRUCTIONS


Week 1

For the first exercise, we were asked to post 3 favorite stop motion on our blog. My 3 favorite stop motion from YouTube:

1. FANTASIA. A Stop motion Animation by Guldies
I like this one because the way he models the clay is really smooth and details. The lighting does make the scene looks very atmospheric.



2. Move Mountain
This is a story about illness, perseverance, and our connection to everything around us. The story is quite interesting and the are many characters in this stop motion. They even include 2D animation characters in the dancing part. 


3. "Bottle" by Kirsten Lepore 
This is a really sad story that touched my heart. They film this at a beach, in snow, and even underwater which really amazes me. The 2 characters are made by sand and snow which is very interesting and special.


Before we start our final project, of course, we will need to have a topic. We were asked to shortlist 3 PSA Topics provided by the lecturer hence choose one to focus.

The PSA topics that I shortlisted initially were anger management, stress management, and also suicide prevention. The reason that I choose this 3 is that I had been facing those problems before. I was a really bad temper person, I lose my temper easily. This made me hurt the person who really loves me before, and I screw up everything.

Last time I was a person who feels stress easily. When I'm stress,  I become very stubborn and mad. I don't talk to anyone even my family. Sometimes I also feel like everyone is not at my side. Hence, my mind turned negative and always thinking to die. Luckily I had gone through all of this and achieved myself today. Basically, I feel that I'm able to express the feeling better for these 3 topics as I had some experiences.

After a few considerations, I decided to choose anger management as the topic for my final project. The reason I choose this is that I'm still not able to fully control my anger.

Week 4

This week, we were asked to make a "proposal" or a brief about our final project. We will need to include:

Ideation: 1-2 paragraphs (The story is about ___. The theme of the story is ___. )

Art Direction: Clay/Paper-cut/Lego, Set building, visual references.

3 Act Structure: Describe the story in 3 act structure:



Act 1:

Once upon a time, there was ___.

Every day, ___.

One day ___.

Act 2:

Because of that, ___.

Because of that, ___.

Because of that, ___.

Act 3:

Until finally, ___.

And ever since then, ___.



The Moral of the story is ___.

My Final Project Proposal:


Week 10

This week, we were asked to show our animatics for this project. An animatic is a preliminary version of a film, produced by shooting successive sections of a storyboard and adding a soundtrack. I was thinking to record my own voice for the sound but I was in rush and I didn't make it. Below is my first attempt for the animatic.






Mr. Martin says that my story is too rush, there are too many things happening, and the audience hard to get the story. Also, there is no sound for my animatic which makes it harder to understand the story. Hence, I remake my animatic and add on sound effects. Also, we have to show a trial shot in next week's class. What we need to take note is we are doing 6 frames per second but not 24 frames per second. 




Week 11

We showed our revised version animatic and also trial shot in today's class. When I was shooting the trial shot, I was facing a problem which is the clay is a bit too hard which makes it hard to do modeling. Other than this, there is not much problem. Below is my trial shot:


Week 13

We have 2 more weeks to complete this project. So I decided to finish my stop motion this week so that I will have time for other module. When I edit it according to my animatic, I feel like the scenes changed too fast and the story is really too rush. So I decided to cut out some scenes, but this does affect my frame rate. Below is my final outcome for this project:

Major Project

  Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Major Project INSTRUCTION Week 1 For the first class of Major Project, we were given a short brief by Mr. Asrizal in the class. It was the first time we can all sit in class together after so long since the pandemic. We went through the MIB and we were told that we can conduct the project in 3 ways. The first is to continue with our dissertation topic, the second is to get a client and the last is to make something with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.  After the instruction, Mr.Asrizal showed us some seniors' work to give us some ideas. Someone designed a font for Pasar Raya, someone illustrated her own Tarot card, and someone designed a series of collateral. We will need to propose our ideas to Mr. Asrizal in the next class and we started to brainstorm our idea until the class ended. Week 2 This week, the class was separated according to the 4 specializations. The animation group started for the first and we propose our ideas to Mr. A...

Sonic Design Final Project

Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Sonic Design Final Project  INSTRUCTION Week 12 In the final project, it is different from what we did before. Before this, we normally use the free stocks sound effect to conduct our exercises. But this time we will need to record our own sound effects. We were given a variety of videos to choose from. Also, an audio storyboard was prepared by Mr.Razif. The reason to have an audio storyboard is that if we are going to record sound in a studio, we need to save time as it is not cheap. We need to get ready for all the materials and know what sound we need to create. Audio storyboard and video provided by Mr. Razif: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4qFCRRLg21uaVVfNTFsMGsyMU0?resourcekey=0-aaijjah6ADp53WbCOfaCsg&usp=sharing Other than sound effects, we were required to create simple background music and some narration if needed. In this case, our classmate Avery Ong was invited to give us a talk about piano.    The tone for different...

Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Professional Development Week Introduction As this is our final semester and we will be graduating very soon, we were asked to learn different knowledge from the people working in the industry and make a report. Hence, we were assigned to take part in the Professional Development Week. Professional Development Week is on week 8 of this semester, and there are many types of workshops provided. In this case, we will need to attend at least 6 workshops which is a total of 6 learning hours. Some workshops were compulsory as it was selected by our Program Director but for the rest, we can choose for ourselves. Below are the workshops that I took part in: Tuesday, May 17 For me personally, I enjoyed the “Financial Literacy for Fresh Graduates" workshop by Mr. Fairuz Izman from MAYBANK the most. The way he presented was really interesting and made me feel like I want to listen more from him as he was sharing his own story as an example. From this workshop, I ...
