summary documentation

My story comes from my old sketch book. Usually, I using sketch book to make a story, first ,reviewing my previous work and then integrate the character and idea as my wish,  so my story board some of drawing come from my old sketch book and  I added some new drawings as well. And then, draw it on computer by Photoshop. next step is put those picture into AE to make animatic storyboard, my subject was about performance and character within digital animation, when I finish the animatic storyboard ,I was try to think different format animation, such as totally 3d animation,2d animation, real-footage animation. Finally, I choose real-footage animation because 3d animation will faced lot of model work, and I am not interesting at 3d modelling, and also not good at 2d animation drawing technique, however, I had film making experiences in the past. I thought real-footage is best choice that makes for quicker process. It should be a valuable subject for me, so at the end of diploma stage I changed my subject, but it was still a challenge for me, because matching mover was unacquainted software as well.

To sum up PGdiploma  phase, I was failed at this stage, that time I was confused about my subject, now that I think of it, because lots idea and new technology all at once. Think back then study new things and struggle with yourself is time-consuming than manufacture. Because I am always like try to be perfect. Especially my animation work, in spite of, I am not good at technology but I would like to try, obviously, it was take me long time at manipulate AE and match mover, after watch some people use Bonjou to match mover from video tutorial, then I want to try is too, it can scale the virtual camera data from boujou, that is friendly use for me ,so I use bonjou as match mover software after my test, I was compare match mover and boujou effect, I will show my process later. Actually, I take long time at study it, I was use just two weeks to product the final composed film and I totally concentrate on that project, and even I can’t sleep without intention at that time. I was just enjoy at manipulate when I understand how I works. My computer working 24 hours when I was sleep, it will render 3d character for next day test, I am really enjoy at this process, despite there is always a lot of problems. But now, I conquer it, so let we have look how the process of my test and final work.

This year’s study I learned how to study by myself, this academic year is a challenge year for me, it is not only rich my academic theory but also training my personal capacity, personally speaking, from MA course I learned I have to take responsibility for my work and myself. And I am deeply grateful to my supervisor team, your rigorous scholarship let me have a clearly critical thinking on my personal work ,I think that will help me do more better at futher research and work, even just study by myself, I think my final work is a strong evidence that provide I reached my goals. I think my final animation work achieved my expected result.

What I am not achieved I think that is about “humours”, I organized a focus group, there are 4 person include myself, the members given some useful and helpful opinion, but it is come down to cross-culture animation, that will extend large amount of academic knowledge, I have not ability to extend this big topic at this year, it will be my next research. Also, I will continue test and study virtual model composed into real-footage at my next practice, because this is valuable research

This is my summary documentation, at the end I want to say thanks again for my supervisor team, David , Andy , Sean, and also thanks for my lovely classmates. My overseas study is colourful because of your accompany with.
