~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

• 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.

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....
