CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS

FYP Spec Of Life Animation

Story Synopsis:

–An ungrateful person, who was never humble to those around him, suddenly was involved in a natural disaster. When he regained "consciousness", he finds himself in a dead city. Realising and regretting his past mistakes, he wakes up to find himself in the hospital and turned to become a better person.

•The story for this animation was inspired by a true story from a survivor of the Padang earthquakes. While he was under the rubble, all he could think of, was his family and the people he cared about, and also asking for forgiveness from God for the sins he did. And after he was actually ready to die, he got rescued 3hours later.

So i've decided to work on the short animation using a semi realistice-cartoon concept with textured background. So that it may add to the feel of the story, and its chaotic/damaged surroundings. I had fun working on this project, both animation and audio. Hope you enjoy watching the animation. =3

Animatic: What if She's an Angel

An animatic made for a project in school with a team of friends which forms Anivian Production. =p
We were given 3 different music to choose from, and were told to make an animatic out of it. So after drafting out our storyboards, here it is.

For those who does not know what an animatic is, an animatic is a form of a drafted animation. It can be made from a series of still images edited together and displayed in sequence or from the storyboards. An animation however is a completed work.

Updates

Making some quick update.
Blogger.com recently had a new thing going on, and we decided to test it out. So we're currently making some adjustments to the site and still is.

so hopefully we get this site a new skin. cos right now, some parts look a little misplaced. XD

and that's all for now.


other updates.. well..

We just finished our very own Design Show with a group of graduating design students from different courses and moving forward. yes, we're close to graduation. we're gonna miss that little place we had in that design school. it's been a whole crazy experience and a life journey. from a little seed we were, we had grown into a young wonderful tree. after graduation, some of us would have to go through the "Days of Men", while others choose to either go for work or studies. and hopefully we'll continue to grow and be that huge tree that will grow flowers and bear fruits of success.


To all of our friends that we have made along our journey,
lets keep in touch <3
May us grow to be that somebody that we want to be.

Cheers,

Coca Cola Ad & Ring Parody

The video above is an "advertisement" my groupmates and I did to promote Coca Cola. This video is our final assignment we did for our Video Fundamentals module. My groupmates and I choose to do a mix of the horror and comedy themes. To make the story interesting, we add in the Ring movie character, Sadako. The message we want to bring out is even ghost cannot resist the taste of Coca Cola. Enjoy:)

There are four of us in the group.

FYP Project Infinite Love

In my online portfolio, I only upload the first 5 mins of the short film Infinite Love. The video above is the whole short film. Enjoy:)
I hope that through my short film, audience can understand the messages I want to portray and understand the morals behind the story. The story itself is common and simple, but I want to emphasize the point that people knows and understand the problems happen between the father and daughter. But some people still make the same mistakes.
I want to bring out the messages and the audience can really understand what it means. For those people who made the same mistakes can use this as a reflection on their actions and avoid making the same mistakes in the future:)
Story Synopsis
The story of Infinite Love is about a father named Teck Hua who is always willing to go extra mile for his daughter, Lynn and sacrifice himself for her. No matter what Teck Hua did, Lynn is never happy with him and never sees him as her father. Teck Hua never gives up; he believes that one day Lynn will understand his love for her and accept him as her father. Lynn never appreciates Teck Hua’s selfless love and takes it for granted. At last, Lynn finally realise Teck Hua’s love, unfortunately Teck Hua died in a car accident. Everything was too late.
