The Reflection

After one semester doing the animation of Fishing Love using Flash CS4 and adobe Premier, we managed to finish it at last with a huge satisfaction with me. I had so much fun and also had some difficulties through out the works. I'll take this course for next semester and I'm hoping to get a good time also in doing animation.

Digital Media III is the best subject that I've been taken through my life. This is the first time that I really enjoyed in doing assignment, and I have always wanted to create my own animation; plus doing my own story. I am so glad that I took this subject. I've learn so many things in Flash CS4 and Adobe Premier. Now I am really looking forward to do my own animation just for fun...:)

In my group, I am the character designer, environment designer and sound manager.

I did not have so many works actually for this animation compared to my teammate, Chunyin and Saiful. I just had lots of work at the beginning and at the ending. At the beginning, I had to design the characters, made a few designs for each character, then had to finalize it with my group mates. Same goes for environment. I had to design the background to be fit with the characters. There were lots of pressure actually in doing this part, as if my design does not satisfy our director.

Then, the progression goes on, as Chunyin and Saiful did their parts, finished all the animation. After they finished, then it's my turn again to put the sound effects and musics. Well, this is the hardest part for me. I did not sleep all night long to finish this part. It was so difficult as I had to find the suitable sounds from internet to fit in the animation. Even though the result was not so satisfied, I did put tremendous effort in this part.

I also did the animation for the Credit part, just to help Chunyin and Saiful while they were trying to finish the animation.

Overall I think this is the best subject so far in my life. I did learn so many things from this course and I really enjoyed it.

It's Final! Fishing Love...

It's Time For Fishing Love!

Yeay! I finally done the audio for the animation...fuh..At first I thought it will be easy, but it is certainly not...searching for the right sound is the hardest part in doing the audio. I managed to finish it after 24 hour non-stop working..I haven't sleep until now..Later I'll go to Chunyin's apartment to give him all the files, and compile all...Then all done! :) The animation is ready for screening this Tuesday...Hopefully everything will work fine..

Now I'm going to have a bit sleep....

Finishing Love...(Chunyin, 2010)

Yeay! our animation almost finish! Thanks to Chunyin and Saiful for their totally unbelievable hard works in finishing the animation...

And now, it is my turn to finalize the animation by putting the sounds. Can't wait to show the animation to the others...:)

Btw, last night I went to Chunyin house, watching them doing the work. And I made a new background for upper sea scene. Instead of drawing the water, we decided to just use the reflection of the mountain and sky and edit it a bit to make it looks real.

so, this is the new background that I made..

After a long break...

Not a very long break actually..just I did not do anything for the animation as I was trying to finish the other assignment for sustainable subject. And after it all done, I will start doing back the animation.

My job is to do the 'Audio' thingy for the animation. so, I couldn't do anything until they finish the animation, then I will do my part..

As Chunyin and Saiful are trying to finish the animation, I did the animation for the Credit. It's just a simple one....Haven't totally finalize it yet, have to discuss with my group first...

So far, this is the Credit that I made....

Promotional Package

For assignment 4, we have to do posters, production stills and dvd cover..
These are my works for the task..

Lip Sync tutorial and Background progress...

Today's tutorial, I've learnt about the lip sync..how to do it in Flash...

It is not so hard i think..as long as u've got the drawings for each mouth....

i did only for the first part, the words " Hello, welcome to.."

...................................................................................................................................................................

Back to the asgmnt, for the next one, we have to do posters to promote our animation...I've haven't got any idea yet for the poster layout..because i was quite busy with the background designing..

As from the previous asgmnt, we manage to get a good mark..thanks to all..:)

and for the under water background, well let say it is not quite suitable with the jetty background..because the water environment seems like it is in a 'deep sea'...

so, i've to change the drawing...

so far, these are all what i've drawn..

we decided to use the final one...

and i also did the animation for the scene in the sea..

Finish Assignment 3....

Today we had our presentation for assignment 3, Work in Progress....
well, it all went well so far... We finished our animatic, and we got a bit complain about the background animation(the bubbles, the connection between undersea and upper sea) and also about the sound..well, it's just a try..we will do better next time for the final animation..:)

This is the animatic for Fishing Love...not the real animation, just simple storyboard in motion...

FISHING LOVE ANIMATIC






And I did the background for DVD cover...

Work In Progress!

Moving to Backgrounds...

After finalizing the characters, I have to design backgrounds....I haven't do much, as Saiful also the background designer, so he actually did a few already...

I just finished one...the view of the jetty...I try to make the view quite blur as to focus on the characters in the animation.

I also did the water movement animation, just for test....





















testing for the water movement....

Character Design in Progress....

As a character designer, I've to start designing the characters which are Danny, the girl, and the baits. Yeah, I've to make a few designs in order to choose and finalize the best design of all...

Btwy, our group already finished the logo animation, all thanks to Chunyin who finished the animation only in 1 1/2 half hour...good job....

Week 3

First session, nothing much... just consults with Josh about the Concept Pitch. and tries to finish the assignment due on Wednesday.

I tried to design my characters, finished the storyboard, and so on....

My idea for the concept pitch is making a love comedy story, which the title is 'Fishing Love'. The story is about young man who likes fishing very much. One day he decided to go fishing, and he got an idea where he's going to put a dress on the bait(maggot) as to attract more fish. Then he went to the jetty, and start fishing....But what happened was, all the fishes were laughing at the maggot instead of eating it..they found it was so funny looking the maggot in dress... After that, the maggot met another handsome maggot and they fell in love. They started to hold each other and thus Danny, the young man tough that he caught a fish. he quickly pull the rod and snap it....but he found that the bait stuck with the other young woman's bait. They looked and started to like each other...fell in love...end of the story...

Week 2: Learn to Walk

In this session, I've learnt how to animate walking movements. It's kind a fun...
Using a frame-by-frame method, I drew different position of legs. There are 4 important positions which are contact, down, passing and up.

The positions of the legs have to be suitable with the movements in real life. Then I've learnt about the function of F7, where it creates a blank frame which delete the previous drawing. I've really enjoyed this studio...Learn new things..



my walking animation....

First Week Studio...

In the first week studio, we were introduced to Flash Professional CS4. Yeah, that's what we'll be using throughout the semester in this course. In the first session, we were shown some examples of 2d animation in Youtube. That's what basically we were have to do for the assignment....

Then we learn some of the basic movement such as motion tween. And also the functions of short-key F5 and F6. So, overall that were the things that were though on the first studio session.

Then, on the second session, we were asked to create a ball and some 'pen line tools' to draw the movement where the ball's going to go. At this stage, still using the basic movement of motion tween, we convert the movement line as a guide for the ball. And also some other stuff like onion skin, ease out and in, and try to make the ball logically bounces with the changing of shapes, stretch out and in.

This is the animation that I created after the first week studio.....
