Motion Graphics and Compositing Project 1

INSTRUCTION


Week 3

For our first project, we will need to explore the 8 design principles. The 8 design principles are movement, hierarchy, balance, direction, symmetry, focus, scale, and rhythm. Basically, we have learned all this in semester 1 Design Principles class. But this time we will need to apply them in motion graphics. Other than that, we will be conducting this project with Adobe After Effects. The first 4 (movement, hierarchy, balance, direction) has done by our lecturer and we just need to complete the other 4 (symmetry, focus, scale, and rhythm). That will be part 1 of our project 1 and for part 2 we will need to play around with the composition by using the 8 principles that we did in part 1.

Even though I have learned the software before but I am not that familiar with it anymore as I have a long time didn't use it. However, I started to explore the software while doing this project, and below are my progressions and final outcome.

For symmetry, I just play around with squares and scales as I was doing it as a warm-up.

Fg.1.0 Symmetry Keyframe

 
For focus, I decided to make a circle at the middle as the "focus point" and making some ring zoom in to the focus point. This allows the audiences' eyesight to zoom in to the focus point.

Fg.1.1 Focus Keyframe


For scale, I did it very simply. I make 4 squares and all of their anchor points will be at the center of the background. Then just scale them randomly.

Fg.1.2 Scale keyframe


For rhythm, it was quite hard for me to understand. I went to YouTube and Pinterest to get some ideas. At last, I try to make like two sticks playing with a small ball at the center. 
  
Fg.1.3 Rhythm keyframe

I was not that sure am I doing the right thing and I decided to show the lecturer my part 1 before I start part 2 to avoid extra work. Below is my part 1 outcome in this week:


Week 4

This week, we gonna show our progression for Project 1 to the lecturer and I explained my situation to Mr.Fauzi. After Mr.Fauzi reviews my work, he says that all are correct and I will need to submit part 2 before the weekend. Also, I realized that my background of symmetry, focus, scale, and rhythm is moving a little bit. I tried to fix it but I couldn't, so I asked for help from Mr.Fauzi during the class and under his supervising, I fixed the issue successfully. Below is my edited part 1:



Hence, I started to proceed with part 2. I try to play with scaling, rotate, and adjust the opacity as a transition. below is my progression and outcome:

Fg.1.4 Part 2 progression

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 ...
