Sem 2 week 12: Electrocuted back to life.

11 Dec 2016

A lot of things happened this week , its quite amazing. Firstly work was unsurprising stale and everyone concentrated on the IS modules because a world issues report was due. I completed 2 backgrounds and are working on another 3.

Changes made: 
The look of the characters changed, they look more like they are wearing masks, however they do look scaries and it didn't really appeal to me and another member so we tried to voice out our opinion however majority won and though it doesn't affect part of my work, i still find the change a hassle because all the shot animated so far has be edited and we don't have much time left.

Also we took out some scene that was unnecessary like ting ting reflection part and we added more exterior scenes to depict the society more and at the middle so that our film will have more of a flow.
The end credit scene though no teacher made noise about it, we took it out to save time. However i loved that scene because it shows because of stanley's act of courage it affected other humans to also speak out. Luckily i manage to convince my producer that if we have enough time, they could animate that part :))) most probably it wont be added, but i think if i work hard enough i can get through to them.

Funny incident
To end off the week, my group caused a blew up a power socket. It was pretty funny, she just wanted to charge her laptop and plugged in her charger and ztttss, a odour was produce and half of our workspace power plugs stopped working.

Im worried about my health so im going to exercise this week and do work so JYJY everyone.

sem 2 week 11: Plausible Horrible week

4 Dec 2016

So far our project has been going well, I've lit a total of 15 background images. Until our Mid year Viva came along! Somehow our group seems to just have bad luck with Viva. We were the first to present for the day, As you remembered 2 of our group mates came late for a previous viva. This tie we made sure everyone met up an hour before the presentation. We called each other and everything.

Viva review

The first fault we made was to download the googleslides and not change the image sizes, so as we are presenting, the images were bigger and blocked our words. The audio wasn't working in the morning as well so it freaked our team out and we forgot to introduce ourselves before playing the animatic. Overall the teachers commented that our presentation was very sloppy.

On the art itself, the teachers praised us for the lighting and the colour sketches. However Jim one of our mentor slaughtered us as he question about the purpose of the magical reflection. His opinions and points were helpful though. Anita also found our animatic unclear and that our monsters doesn't look scary enough. Its not the first time we heard this comment before, we are going to discuss on how to change the look of the character.

This week i didn't do much work because changes are being made and it seems like most of the shots are unconfirmed. Oh wells, it would be a good break from being disappointed.
