Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Advanced Animation Final Project INSTRUCTION Week 14  As I have done animating the character, this week I started to build up the props that I need. My scene is suitable to locate in a room like a laboratory and projection is a must to match the hand movement. To create the projection, I will need to go to Adobe Illustrator and draw them out. I drew a few different designs so that the scene won't look that bored. Fg.1.0 shows my progression on Adobe Illustrator: Fg.1.0 Progression on Adobe Illustrator Then I create an image plane in Maya and import those PNG projection vector that I did to the image plane. This is one of the ways to put in references images when we want to build a 3D object. And I just play around with the opacity to make the projection half transparency.  After that, I started to build some simple furniture to match the scenario. The reason for doing this is to make the whole animation looks more interesting and the audience will ...

Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Advanced Animation Project 2 INSTRUCTION Week 10 From this week, I started to animate my model Johnny and I was facing a lot of trouble. The main trouble that I was facing is the model get distorted easily and it looks really weird. The most obvious part that can see the distortion was the hand. Fg.1.0 shows the distorted hand: Fg.1.0 Distorted hand issue Hence, I decided to stop first before it getting worst. I decided to have a consultation with the lecturer first before I continue animating.  Week 11 This week I have a consultation with the lecturer. He told me that the reason caused the distortion is because of the model itself. The rigging of the model is not that good and I can't make big action with it. In this case, the lecturer suggests me to change a model. But I have put in so much effort and time on this, I don't feel like want to restart. Also, it's already week 11 I have to rush. However, I decided to continue with the Johnny model...

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 ) Motion Graphics and Compositing Final Project INSTRUCTION Week 12  We are finally at the end of this semester. For our final project for this module, we will need to come out with a theme and create an abstract motion. 2D/3D, mixed media, or any experimental visual output are allowed. To come out with a theme is always the hardest as it will decide the quality of work. As I remember what my foundation lecturer told us, a good artwork always has a good story and meaning behind it.  To come out with a good theme, I started to think about what is happening around me currently. And I realized that people nowadays are too stressed. People are chasing for money, working very hard, students chasing good grades. Now we are having a pandemic and it made this case even worst. Suddenly, it reminds me of Mr. Ernesto who pulled me out from my darkest time. He is also a fine art artist who drew a lot of abstract art. At this moment, I ask myself why not try...
