Reflection

Experience 

This semester has been easier than the first semester. The reason being that I was more experienced with the Adobe apps and how to schedule time for productive workflow. But It was also very exhausting as, its almost been an year since the pandemic and we all have been stuck at home all this time. I feel there was more work than the previous semester, especially all the modules combined, but I managed to get through it without much trouble. Waking up in the morning has been difficult since I tend to stay up at night working on assignments because I'm more productive at night. I even also missed a whole week of classes when I got sick. But Mr. Vinod is easy to reach out to and got the adequate feedback even if I didn't attend the class.

Observation 

I noticed that the amount of feedback given was much less and vague compared to last semester. I think this is because the lecturers wanted to let us work on our assignments more independently instead of handholding through the whole semester. The lack of feedback definitely did not hinder my ability or workflow.

Findings

I found that my ability to come up with ideas and bringing them into my assignments have significantly improved and also become faster compared to last semester. I think it is because We worked on different types on assignments from different modules. I also found that I wasn't as stressed as last semester, because I was always on track and didn't fall back on any assignments.

Advanced Animation - Project 2 - Production

 Project 2 - Production After Animatics and acting was done, we moved onto setting up the set in MAYA. I used a rig for my character called Jasmine Rose by Ahmed Shalaby. I first imported my Acting into Adobe animate and listed out how many frames each scenes used and blocked it out in MAYA. I made set before I did this. Figure 1 - Animation Blocking After I blocked out the scenes I started animating scene by scene. After animating the scenes I added rough lighting to see what it would look like in the final render. I rendered the scenes in this lighting for feedback. Figure 2 - Project 2

Project 3 - Digital Surrealism The objective this project is to create a surreal artwork in photoshop. Below are some examples of digital surrealism. Process My main idea is to use the first cyborg piece I made and put it into a cyberpunk city. Cyborg image of me Image for background - Artwrok by Chin Fong  https://www.chinfongart.com/art I used quick selection to cut out myself into this image, after using healing brush to remove some of the ninja character which was already in the image. Then it was color matched I used the brush tool to add some glow from the pink sign onto my body in a new layer Saturn image I want to add Whale image I added to the sky, Inspired the the song Gojira - Flying Whales More whale Images Whales and Saturn added in Next I brought it into Adobe after effects for animation. My main idea for animation is to add rain fall into the image. I started by adding the CC rainfall simulation in after effects and playing around with settings a bit. Next step addin...
