final animation outcome

After suggestion of Mr. Fauzi, I had changed how the penguin move according to the music.

fig 1.22 animation final outcome 19/11/2020

For concept of this surrealistic dream, I want to show that even if I grew up, I will still keep a young heart inside of me. After I had confirm my concept, I start to collect my photos and how to express it. I want to show 'the mini me' is in the hot spring as I am relaxing. There are plenty of penguin around me because I think they are really cute. I think how the way that 4 of them showing up according to the music is really cute as well. Not going to say, but the gold fish is actually represent the 7 second of memory as I am always blur and forgetful. I had also applied golden ratio in this project. As you can see I had put the gold fish on the point of golden ratio. It is the first thing that will catch your eyes and following by the penguins and mini me and finally the building. I had also chose the picture of 'mini me' having the same color of the golden fish. I did the animation of 'mini me' is hiding and protecting by the 'bigger me' from the huge golden fish. The size of the 'mini me' is the smallest, following by the golden fish and finally is the 'bigger me'. 


FEEDBACK 

week 12: Mr. Fauzi said that he would like to suggest me to animate the second composition. The idea is quite unique when I put my 'mini me' inside my head. I might proceed with the animation and consult by Monday.

week 13: Mr. Fauzi looked at my final outcome, he said that I had done a good job. He said that I had completed the animation and I could focus on completing my e portfolio.


REFLECTION

Experience: We were introduced to After effect for this project and because it is a new software that I had never touch before, so I am scared that I am not able to complete the project with this software. Luckily, Mr. Fauzi taught us about how to use the after effect and I think the way he teach us is really useful and after I had tried using it, I think that actually it is not so difficult to use.

Observation: I had noticed that it is quit important to make use of the projects and fit in something that you would like to show, so that you will be happy during the progression of the projects.

Finding: Through out these 13 weeks, I think my photoshop skills had improved a lot compare to the first week of me that I don't even know how to use pen tool. I found this project quite interesting when Mr. Fauzi showed us roughly how to do it and I already starting to think what concept that I want to show.
