Reflection :

I really enjoyed this project thoroughly. I got to express myself in a more exciting way, considering how I do not have much knowledge when it comes to colours. Even though I really like them but somehow they do not agree with me. I have like a lot of trouble with colour harmonies before this assignment. I do not understand which of the colour would actually compliment each other. After going through the many presentation and also the research of the different harmonies, I find that I am finally able to take a step forward.

I realised that when I usually do my own sketches, I would have just left them as it is instead of trying to complete them and add final to them. I think it was the fear of not wanting to spoil them that is keeping me from doing so. But I feel like I really need to practice more since it is an essential thing to learn and have for an animator when it comes to doing mood board especially. It controls the ambiance that  you want the audience to feel.

This assignment also has helped me learnt quite a few things about myself. I honestly feel like this whole module really shapes me into a different person as a whole. The way I can perceive things and portray them  in many different ways really give me more understanding of how there is a lot of techniques and mediums to expressing something. All we need is a little curiosity and fun!

Ego in different setting – WIP 05 (colours)

I was going through inspiration for my drawing assignment when I came across a few painting that have really nice colour palette. I thought that maybe instead of trying to think of the palette myself I could take it off from painting or photos since I am just barely starting on colours. Putting them together myself would actually be difficult. I also picked the from online colour palette and somewhat tweak from there.

For the colours of the equations i will explain why I specifically picked that colour tone for it.

equations

  1. Since the first equation is about something happy and things that I like, I thought of something bright and perhaps a little more colourful than the rest? So I  thought of like searching up for a more pastel like colours. Then I came across the colour scheme of the turquoise and orange, which somehow screamed out to me.
  2. For the second equation, I thought that it seems like a quite morbid thing of mine. Hence why I decided to give it a more dull feeling and go monochrome. Plus the colour blue also gives the cold yet disturbed feeling, which is why I decided to pick it for this equation.
  3. As for the third equation, I thought that perhaps I could have a colour that can strike as something creepy but yet funny. So I thought of the colour purple. Somehow purple give me a weird feeling? Like how if an environment is lit up a purple light, would it not be seem as dubious? Like is there something there?
  4. The last equation was something that make me think about for quite sometime. I wanted something bright to show thhe lightness of the whole thing and that was when I saw the blue and yellow complimentary colour scheme. so I thought hey I could work with that.

Figure in space – Prefinal and Final

I went for consultation last week and apparently I still sees shapes as it is instead of viewing them in a group.

They should be more like this some what.

Also, I should do my light test or compositions in small sizes so it is easier to see the whole image. Instead of trying to render one whole page of light test. I was trying to test out pastel in class but somehow it turned out not bad. Woonlam also said that I could submit that but together with another piece perhaps with a different composition because that piece of paper is actually smaller in size compared to the required.

For the colours, I tried using all the browns and maybe some purple for both of the composition.

The first composition

I should probably try to pick different subject and shine the lights in them instead of doing them all at the same time. The lighting could have bigger surface area for a particular but none for another.

As for the second composition, I honestly that the composition looks okay in my sketchbook. It did not look that empty but once I put it out on the big paper, somehow all the spaces look so awkward and empty like there is barely any environment.

I honestly had fun with this assignment, to be able to test out a medium I have not try before (pastel) and also gaining new techniques from it even thought my final pieces did not go as planned. I also have a fear of drawing on big pieces of paper since they will enlarge the mistakes. However, the more I draw on big pieces of paper I have grown to accept them and also of course learn the mistakes from those previous class activities.

Reflection :

I thought that this assignment really make me realize and think about a lot of things. Being this industry means that we have an audience that could be able to interpret things more differently than having to spoon feed them with the general ideas and things. I also need to take note of how I music also play an important role in portraying the mood of the whole video. The layout of the video should be consistent throughout the whole thing. So many things!!!

Appearance. – WIP 04

After the consultation, apparently the title you is too in cheesy and in your face. I could perhaps change it to The appearance or have a sentence with the word habit in it. Regarding the layout, I will do it without the white background, the quality is somehow part of the project I guess. I should blow it up and do a full screen of it. Everything should be in the same orientation and make everything going in the same direction to keep it consistent. For those that are taken in a portrait format, I probably have to take them out instead.

The music is somewhat weird? according to what Robert has told me, it is too fantastical. I need to change the pacing of the whole video considering how I was editing according to the music, the length of each footage is somewhat long. Probably could edit the pacing to changing it every time they take a step or something. Music should be secondary. After the edit than find a suitable music to fit in with my video or if not possible just leave the whole film in silence. If I actually use the sound of the raw footage, I am scared that I could  be too chaotic.

On to another attempt of trying to edit the video and trying to get more videos from everybody for the final. About the title I should also try to pick a different font and make it smaller.


So I tried to look into more of the happy music. The musics that are generally happy are mostly the generic advertisement musics which is not something that I would want to use for my video.

Honestly, I was kind of bumped out on which music to pick until I went to watch the Trolls music. Honestly their music was really mostly the sunshine and butterfly kind that I thought hey maybe I could use it for my video? So I went to find the music that could possibly suit my video. In the end, i came across this cover.

Appearance. – WIP03

After actually seeing everything together, I realised that the footage all varies in different quality. I am also pretty unsure of what layout to put them in. I tried to put them in different direction instead of just them walking in one direction. I duplicated some of the footage as it was too blurry to try to blow them up.

Then I tried another way of putting them together to minimise the bad quality, by minimizing all of them on the screen and having a white background but I am not really sure if that is actually okay. It will look somewhat like this.

This whole project is like not expecting what you get and trying to piece everything together, which somehow adds to the element of the whole project. It being that fact that everyone does everything in their own way, even how they take footage of themselves.

Appearance. – WIP 02

So I shot a few things but I still was not sure really sure of how I want to piece the scenes together for my short film. To be honest I just thought of shooting random people and even people whom just dress out of the normality which somehow really expresses the fact them not being afraid to be themselves.

Despite the fact that people could be looking at them with a weird look. But than again the more I think about the more I thought that perhaps that was a ted too in your face? We can literally anyone and we are still being ourselves. So I thought some more, maybe I could take shots of people going on with their lives and enjoying themselves.

I had the thought of starting off with perhaps a down shot scene of a person’s feet walking. Also, the shots of them smiling and having fun. It was originally just a try out since I was not sure of still what I wanted to show in my film and I need to consult to be sure that this is a green light.


Apparently after the consultation, my idea seem to be like an inspirational video which is not supposed to be like that. I should make my video more simple and not as direct. I need to be able to let my audience think of what I am trying to show instead of having to throw everything out there and be too direct.

So in the end I tried to put more of the walking video together to express individuality. The fact that the different shoes we wear and how we walk shows the personality of the person. Instead of trying to have too many different scenes and ideas all in one video.

I should also try not to take inspirations off of advertisement since they are work done by professional. Also, it is something that we can’t really achieve without the use of professional equipment. Unless maybe we have prior experience or something.

This is just the screenshot of the few that I have. I have about 15+ videos of them that I will put together but I am honestly still quite unsure of the music. I guess I will try to post up the video of the edited version.

Ps. I do not want to do animation for my film because I want to try something new. Also the fact that I can do animation for the rest of the time here in uni and also the fact that I am still bumped out after my poly end of the year project.
