Interest- breathing not allowed

Ive seen this from another blogger. Im searching around to see different type of videos...and how they give information to audience, the techniques they used and so on. The one below, I found it quite attractive and it could drag your attention about the subject / topic it is about. I really like the sound and the way they giving information to audience is very clear, and make the audience easy to understand by giving a sentence in each plot. Not alot but clear and easy to understand.^^

Honda Ad

This advert I just found it in youtube, the concept is similar to one of the lecture I've ages ago... properly last year.

~Improved version of my animation~

As you can see above, I have changed the Font of the text, make it to be solid color, and easy to see. Changed the first shot. I slightly improved the soundtrack.

Hope everyone like it and feel free to give comments.^^

filesharing video...(final?!)

After few rendering, I have picked this one for my final work, I have showed this to my tutor today. There are some improvement need to be make, such as the font of the texts, they are not really clear when it plays. May need to change the first shot where the guy is walking toward to the camera, because at this moment, there are some unnecessary shots. other than these , it goes fine. Im so pleased with this.^^

Hopefully, it does bring the message to people.

Simulated Project - MoDels

Here are some models I have produced in last couple weeks.

I still havent add any lights into the scene, this is just basic out look.

PRP research 2

Computer-generated imagery[1] (also known as CGI) is the application of the field of computer graphics or, more specifically, 3D computer graphics to special effects in films, television programs, commercials, simulators and simulation generally, and printed media. CGI is used for visual effects because computer generated effects are more controllable than other more physically based processes, such as constructing miniatures for effects shots or hiring extras for crowd scenes, and because it allows the creation of images that would not be feasible using any other technology. It can also allow a single artist to produce content without the use of actors, expensive set pieces, or props.
3D computer graphics software is used to make computer-generated imagery for movies, etc. Recent availability of CGI software and increased computer speeds have allowed individual artists and small companies to produce professional grade films, games, and fine art from their home computers. This has brought about an Internet subculture with its own set of global celebrities, clichés, and technical vocabulary.
Simulators, particularly flight simulators, and simulation generally, make extensive use of CGI techniques for representing the Outside World

Reading Academic Writing

• Read rapidly, identify the basic approach, make notes on issue and question
• Take the bibliography, and reference
• Note down where you find it interesting and could help your investigation
• Note about question / arguement / evidence/ further enquiryment
• Summarise the ideas
• Summarise your own ideas

PRP supporting research

My PRP investigation is " How can realistic virtual set designs be created for films set in the future?"

Here are some notes Ive been reading for my research.

To identify what is virtual reality

Also this web site below has shown a competition of create scenes from movie, which tells the importance of virtual environment in movies. Also the disadvantages of create an virtual environment to a movie.. the cost of it and so on....

Ive been different articles from the internet. The one below is more likely what Im looking for.

Simulated Project

The company has sent my tutor an email about my work and stuff. They were impressed of it. would like to work with me for my client project.
The other thing is got a little bit more idea on the simulated Project. Only 20 sec advert.
So I start to reseach illegal downloading and sharing files adverts.


This one is about don't download stuff from the internet. Do not think you r invisible when you download stuff on the internet, and share with people. There is a record of downloading. This will end up with go to jail or pay for what you've done.

Final Year Begins...

Just started uni for a week, and slightly understand how should we hv to work in this year.

I have tried to contact with company for my client project, and finally there is a company called MOOFU replied my email. They have requested me to produce an interview item and send them couple documents about the live project by tomorrow at 2.

This is the item they want me to create, and the image nxt to it is my design.

Yeah~ thats abit it. Hope they going to accept my design... and now continuely on my PRP, gosh~ still thinking of an appropriate question...

A Character that recognises and responds to players' mood

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8078322.stm

This is such a good idea that can communicate with a character, this makes the players more focus on the game, and be connect to the game.

Animation Project - Processing

( figure 1) audience

This is the working piece of my audeice.

( figure2) Clown = The puppet

still need texture and colours.

( figure 3) Finished piece of clown with colours and textures.

( figure 4) theatre / cinema

Im going to put the characters into this scene and present to audience.

A magic for you.

A magic for you is the name I've given to my animation project.

Lets me show you some designs.

The clown

This the theatre which the clown will be present in there. Ive already put texture in there.

Interesting Performance...

This is the interesting performance that I've found in youtube. It has used particles, cloth and reactor in 3ds max to create this movie clip. With the sound track on, you may feel the particle movement is following the music .

Animation stage 2

After I read da book called 3d toons by steve and rafanzovin. I finally came up with ideas.

Mainly is about Puppet. Ive seached other art pieces, which helps me to develop more.

I would like to do something similar to this, as i could animate the doll and the arm to produce my own piece of work. To make it more interesting, I could add music at the back, then the doll follow the bits.

I have also researched the 2d animation, and I found this is the most interesting piece of work. The story of it is so good. I like the act of characters and his emotions.

Georgian architecture

Georgian architecture is between 1720 and 1840. It is eponymous for the first four British monarchs of the House of Hanover—George I of Great Britain, George II of Great Britain, George III of the United Kingdom, and George IV of the United Kingdom—who reigned in continuous succession from August 1714 to June 1830.

The styles that resulted fall within several categories. In the mainstream of Georgian style were both Palladian architecture— and its whimsical alternatives, Gothic and Chinoiserie, which were the English-speaking world's equivalent of European Rococo. From the mid-1760s a range of Neoclassical modes were fashionable, associated with the British architects Robert Adam, James Gibbs, Sir William Chambers, James Wyatt, Henry Holland and Sir John Soane. Greek Revival was added to the design repertory, after Georgian architecture is characterized by its proportion and balance; simple mathematical ratios were used to determine the height of a window in relation to its width or the shape of a room as a double cube. "Regular" was a term of approval, implying symmetry and adherence to classical rules: the lack of symmetry, where Georgian additions were added to earlier structures, was deeply felt as a flaw. Regularity of housefronts along a street was a desirable feature of Georgian town planning. Georgian designs usually lay within the Classical orders of architecture and employed a decorative vocabulary derived from ancient Rome or Greece. The most common building materials used are brick or stone. Commonly used colors were red, tan, or white. However, modern day Georgian style homes use a variety of colors.

Italy- Rome

I went to Rome for the weekend. The weather was well nice. The architectures are interesting n nice.
