I have to update this blog more often.......
Well then, in the 3rd year now, New project New people New ideas !
Welcome to my blog!
Im currently working on my major project in my final year in University- to do an animation, and I've decided to do my story Yin&Yang. I'll be working on alongside with some extra comic strips in future. Will post bits and pieces of my progress every now and then. So stay tune!
Yin&Yang is a romance theme story, and it's gender-bend. So you'll see Yang in her female and male form.

I update more often on my Facebook page,because it's much easier and more straight forward.
But I'll do some updates on my blog as well to share my thoughts and inspirations in my final year.

Busy 28th
Last day of Feb ! And everything comes together all at once, because its Friday.
First stop, I have an animation animatic pitch presentation to show the tutor in the morning same time as the pitch presentation happening in the year two studio for the pro practice group project. Arril and Steven mentioned that an animatic is what are we suppose to be doing for our animation, a simple animatic with attached sample sounds, doesnt matter if its bad, they just wants to see a sample of how our story would be like.
I felt nervous, looking at people's film will give you pressure, kinda, because they are all so good, and I realized most of them doing under camera/ stop-motion and hand drawn animation.
Second stop, after the presentation of animation, I rush to the 2nd year illus studio for the next presentation, not really presentation, just a progress update/tutorial to Alex about our pro practice project and telling him our idea.
We feel tense at first, nervous, and hoping that he would like our idea. And.....
He likes it ! and even gave us some more ideas and spread our imagination more/onto the next level, he encourages us to think big, doesnt matter if its going to /not going to happen, as long as you dare to think only you dare to do ! kinda true .
I did some sketches and posted something to do with shadow :

Animation: Developing Character
Today's talk by Mary is kind of like a day she pushes the animation option students to give us a talk and ask us about the progression about our animation project, everyone /most of the people have the same reason why non of us start to step into the next step to do our animation film.
Mary said people who do under camera MUST book 2/1 week earlier with her to discuss/ask for help for their project.
I think is due to her was a student here before thats why she know what we think, she knows that part of us is slacking, lazy and dont have the courage to move forward and start our animation project, because some of us never done animation before, that's why they stunt at the same state.
Mary's advice : courage ! make a shitty work! you have to know what you did wrong only you can do things right ! totally motivative to everyone !
I find this an inspiring day so I noted it down in my blog.

Frasier MacLean Talk
A famous author who wrote Setting the Scene: The Art and Evolution of the Animation Layout, and credits included from the movies: Space Jam, Tarzan and so on came to Bower Ashton to give a 2 hours and 30 minutes talk to share his experience through out the year on how he worked on his projects.
He talks about how important it is of the layout of an animation because that brings out the whole idea of and picture of the animation. He also talks about how he discovered that people did not actually treat animation layout seriously in the animation film. He showed us some film included The thief and cobbler
Studios mentioned are Animo , D-Canvas etc.
He emphasizes that the staging and movement of an animation is rather important , and it is also important to develop your own animation style.

Some example of books he recommended.

Traditional/ 2D Animation Pipeline
An animation workshop with Mary Murphy and Ian Friend from animation module.
The first session with Mary I learned about traditional hand drawn 2D animaiton : lightbox, peg bar, pencil, eraser , etc. Like for example we each draw a simple picture and then combine our picture together by blending the images together and you'll see the animation flowing.
As for 2D digital animation I learned from Ian Friend, using the software adobe flash
doing a butterfly testing with easy techniques to create a movement form.
It was fun.
** will upload the videos soon.

Animation Workshop: Audio & Clay Animation
31 Jan 2014
I joined the option module to do Animation in my second semester , the first animation workshop I attended is with Mary Murphy, a professional clay making artist and also one of the stop motion tutor in the animation course.
I learned about stop motion animation, clay making, the importance of audio to an animation.
Afternoon we get to team up into 2 person and work on an animation with a chosen audio file. I teamed up with Laura Dickson and we made a short animation video.

Second animation workshop with Mary Murphy.
On this day, she is talking about stop motion, camera, rules of working under camera, importance of time managements and learning about the flow of clay animation. Which means there cannot be a mistake when you are doing stop motion, because once you did something wrong in one frame, you have to start all over again.
