Final Animation (Animation)

This is the final animation that I have done for my semester 1 of degree level 1

(Task 5) Field Trip to Little India

(TASK 5) Field Trip

On the 9th of October we went on a small trip to Little India in Brickfields, KL. There we were given task to complete in groups where we have to take pictures of a theme and our theme was "Togetherness". Together with groupmate Gurmesh and Jasmine, along with 2 more friends, Chuu and Farhan we went on a stroll along the sidewalks and enjoyed the trip filled with colours.

After the trip was finished we created a short powerpoint of a few selected pictures we took to show the class of what kind of pictures we took and explain why we took these pictures

This is the starting of the slideshow, with the introduction speech

The first topic was plants, as plants are always seen together instead of just a stem alone

Friends, when together we are never alone

The United theme where people are being together to show togetherness between each other

The chemical between best friends are never out of togetherness

Family is the strongest among the rest of the togetherness theme

Self Appraisal (Study Skills)

Self-Appraisal

In this semester I have been studying 3 subjects, Animation, Graphic Design and Study Skills. Among the 3 subjects animation is my major. In these subjects I have learn many things that I didn’t before such as the elements and principles of design. Through animation I learned the 12 principles of animation, stop motion, rotoscoping method and many more, graphic design I learn how to make infographics and installation art which is a combination of daily objects that we see and use with art and through them send a message to audience, study skills I learn the points and method of doing research or writing a proposal in a more proper way.

In the recent semester, my most significant achievement is completing my animation task up to number 5 in just 6 weeks rather than 10 weeks. Completing task before the expected date was an achievement that felt good and rather satisfying. Other than that achievement, there were others such as completing task faster than anybody else in my class.

These achievements are important because it is a form of motivation for me to keep going at this pace with other tasks. To get the achievement stated, one must have the passion and determination to do it, to know what must be done and what not to be done, one must know what he/she is doing and how to do it.

One must not stray away from current goal for one to achieve greatness, the conduct that I use to get the achievements I stated before. When doing a task or an assignment one should not be easily distracted by other things such as entertainment. While doing I set a current goal before starting a task and to finish that task first before continuing anything else, for example if I have set my goal to finish up to task 3 I will do until task 3 before doing anything else for other stuff

The challenges that I faced in this semester is having group members of different background and nationality, the different languages we speak becomes our biggest problem to face. Language is not the only challenges, but different ideas and thinking is also a challenge. We had to complete our ideas and make what is best out of it, brainstorming.

Understanding is what is needed within a group to achieve greatness, as teamwork will be affected if no understanding is achieved. To understand and accept the difference in thinking and way of doing things for each other, and knowing what is the weakness in you and improve in that particular aspect in the next semester to become a better groupmate.

Chapter Review (Animation)

THE ANIMATOR’S SURVIVAL KIT

The book tells the history of animation in the beginning, how it started, when it started, why it started. Animation was created long ago during the few first civilization where paintings were painted in pillar and walls. The book tells me a lot of things as in who were the few first people who created animation and who were the ones who made it big like Walt Disney. It tells the reader what is animation and what it is made of, animation is a bunch of simple things grouped together to create something awesome.

Many artists tried to animate and animation is tough and time consuming, very time consuming so why do they do it? Because painting has reached a time where it is in its prime and now something new and fresh will arise to take over what is left and start a new era, an era of moving pictures called animation. Animation is interesting to artist because to them it as if their paintings or drawings are coming to life and moves and to them is a grand achievement.

 The Ambition of Oda Nobuna

The series portrays the life of Yoshiharu Sagara, a boy from the future which was somehow transferred to the Warring State Period of Edo Japan. There he encountered a daimyo/general of Japan which he adores the most Oda Nobunaga, however the general instead of being the powerful and wise man he knows it turns out to be a girl named Oda Nobuna. Yoshiharu then using the knowledge he knows from history and the game that he plays help Oda Nobuna to conquer and unite Japan.

In the series there are numerous characters but there are few characters that stand out from the rest for me. First one is Oda Nobuna the main character of the series, she is a girl that tries her best to show a strong and firm figure in front of her retainers to keep everyone from worrying but deep inside she is just a normal girl who need someone to lean on, this is the reason why she stands out. Among all the female characters she is portrayed as the most beautiful of them all and most innocent.

The second character is Niwa Nagahide, the tactician of Oda Nobuna. An elegant beauty who speaks wisely and helps in strategy for war, at first look she gives the all brains and no brawl look that she can’t fight however that changed after a few episode when she took part in a battle a girl who can strategize and fight now that’s a winner. Instead of a naïve and innocent look, she gives out the face of a person that knows what she/he is doing.

I liked the series because it deals with the Warring State Period of Japan a historical period that I love very much. Seeing the characters I know from history in movies give me a satisfactory feeling. Plus the series is entertaining its funny and emotional it touches the feelings of a human

Movie Review

Sword Art Online

Sword Art Online is a series where humans are able to send their will and conscience into a virtual world or game. SAO tell where a genius programmer created a game known as Sword Art Online and released it into the world to 10,000 players to beta test it and then entrap them in the world unable to logout or go back into their real bodies until they defeat the entire game itself. Then a player known as Kirito who played the game before it was released met a few friends and made his way up to defeat the programmer who was hiding as a player the whole time.

Yukki Asuna the lead female of the series, a strong and cheerful lady that you will regret if you make her angry kind of girl. Asuna became many boy’s dream girl when the series was released, a kind hearted girl yet stands strong and firm when faced with difficulties, however how strong she may be she is still a girl there are time where you would feel that you could just jump in a save her when watching the series.
