Final Assignment: MTV making...

This is my first MTV production for a design module nm3208 in NUS. It kind of exciting and fun while filming this. We went through alot of pain, laughters, fun and "Hor-Lan"... Haha...


catch it @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Ue2NWla3k

This MTV tells a story of 4 students not knowing what to do for their MTV. They met up almost every other day but they still cant come up with a good idea. This drags on into the one week study break and finally they gave up and just throw in what they have in their mind. Apparently their mind is full of shit... Hahaha... or maybe MY mind...

You will see that the MTV started off in clips that have no link to each other and slowly to clips where you will see organised dancing and even "concert". This is to show that we still do not know exactly what to do at first, hence the messiness and slowly as we are completing our project, more organsied stuffs. A process of learning perhaps?

I kind of like this MTV alot... hahaha... I like the music, the song, the ideas, the people. Not that i'm self-centered or what.. but OUR MTV ROCKS!!!! hahahahaha...

Assignment 3: The New-Old Story... Huh?

Ok this is not exactly my new story but this is a storyboard that i drew for my own animation like 3 years ago? Haha... I "haven" got the time to make the animation yet though. At first I wasn't really ready to show this story but come to think about it this might be a chance to "force" myself to use this story...

Haha... anyway i did a small change to the ending to make it a little sad just to toy with the emotion for a bit... Haha... Sorry i the pictures are abit low quality... hope you can still see the "storyline"...





Ok... The story ends up till this part... But just for the fun, the picture below is the original story. It just ends with a little tingle of sweetness whereby the girl saw the photo and thought of the same memories they had...


Oh well, I'll try to upload the one that i thought of, the super lame and no link story with a valentines love theme...

Assignment 1 Revisited...

Okay well this is just for the fun of it... For you people out there to laugh abit while doing the tedious work of commenting and defending... When i was thinking about the Dream Poster i suddenly have this idea which i drew out on my sketch book... I call it the Shaolin Percussion Dream!

Haha the story goes like this. The high monk of a temple has a son. Wow right? Anyway that's before he became a monk. Then 3 years after the son, Elvison, was born, he ran away from home to become a monk, leaving the mother and Elvison to struggle and suffer in order to survive.

The mother frequently reminds Elvison how heartless his dad is, although Elvison can see from her eyes how much she misses him. Elvison's father refuses to see his mother no matter what 'cos supposedly he had cut of all ties in the world.

Elvison vow to get back at his father. He knew how much his mother loves and misses his father and tries all means to get him to come back. Even to the extent of giving up his musical dream to become a "pirated" monk in his father's monastry.


JABA THEATRE PROUDLY PRESENTS:
THE SHAOLIN PERCUSSION DREAM!!

Assignment 3: Pictures Story... AGAIN??!

To be honest, this assignment started off as a dedication to all those singles out there. The purpose is to show that among all the happy couples in the world, there are still some people who are "left out". This would serve as a reminder to the attached people out there: Dun neglect your friends!!!

The original concept is to show everything in pairs. Flowers, animals, objects such as chopsticks, shoes, food such as "You Tiao" and "Butterfly"... Then I'll slowly zoom in or out or do some transistion to reveal the single and left out object of the same kind to kick off an introduction of "being alone".

Then I'll add in pictures of singles in the middle of the street or among couples. I'll show these singles doing things alone such as watching movie, eating, playing arcade and stuff. I'll include a picture with a person sitting at the stairs alone playing his guitar, back facing me and I'll photoshop the surrounding to make it looks as if he's playing in the dark except for a dim spotlight. This is to further emphasize the idea of "lonliness".

And then I'll end of with a kiss of humour with a guy sitting in front of the computer smiling with his nose bleeding and a box of tissue paper beside him. Oh well, if you can understand, I wun say anything about that eh...... Hahaha...


However I realise that we MUST have a story behind our photos when my fellow calssmates presented. Hmmm... isn't this similar to our nm2208 assignment as well as our Assignment 2? Personally I feel that telling a story with pictures and showing an emotion with pictures do NOT differ much, but showing an emotion can be more abstract and fun and allows the audience to think and guess. I like it that way. I love to be abstract.

Oh well since we needa to have a story, I made up a story on the spot and change my originally alot of unattached people to one single person and show how he spent V-day sad and alone. Then i added a twist of lemon such that he may look sad alone on V-day but actually he's enjoying the time along, doing alot of things which guys love doing alone... ALONE...


Ended up I dun quite like this idea any more... =(

So I actually thought of a more fun story since we MUST have a story for our pictures. Anyway will post it up later... Please look forward to it... (O__o)

Assignment 2: My day is about dozing off...

Well... Assignment which uses pictures to tell a story. This time on a website. Firstly i think that 180kb is way too small. Given the current technology, the size limt 180kb is really a redundent limit i think. But anyway, a chance to learn resizing i think...

I'll be retaking some photos then i'll get them uploaded as I think that my work here is quite "soggy". Originally I was thinking of a comic style story, hence u will see many impossible scenes here but I dun have the time to do a comic style frame. Will try to do it for the final version. Anyways... So here goes...

Woke up from sleep, stretching...



Doing the usual morning routine stuffs...


Rush down to get a bus to school...


Suddenly Godzilla crush the bus and I was shocked in "comic style"!!


It send me to "cloud nine" with one powerful sweep of its tail... Note the motion blur of the tail...


I landed on a lamp pose, in "battle clothes" and a slight motion shadow behind me...


With some preparations, i flashed out my sword in the middle of nowhere...

I fought the Godzilla...


And smash it into two!!


The bus jerked, and I woke up. Well just a dream i guess...


And as i approach the school, I dozed off in the lecture room.


And the ZzzZzz monster who always appears in my sleep time came and disturb my peace... AGAIN...

Comments: Last 2 pictures can be taken out. They do not have an obvious link with the previous pictures.

Well initially i have a completely linked pictures. 13 in total. Due to the limit and my incapability of efficiently reducing the size of the pictures, I had to remove some of them...

Anyways gonna retake and photoshop all the pictues also... if not no fun le... haha... gonna try different styles his time... Yeah!!


Assignment 1: So that's how a BAS^_^D looks like?

First assignment is on Dreams. What I have here is a poster based on a made up story for a theatre play. The story goes like this:

There was this guy, A, who knows this girl, G, for a very long time. Their friendship lasted ever since they know how to speak. They had always been the best of friends even though they went to different schools in different point of time. And of cos, A would dream that they are not as simple as "best friends".

Then G got to know this guy, B, who promised to love G forever. However, for some reason A knew that B is a BAS^_^D (closure) and tried very hard to persuade G to leave B but as we all know, when someone is in love, everything is good. Thus she refused to listen to his "rubbish". Left with no choice, A rejected an offer to go further his studies overseas to look after G "in the dark".

Until one day, G decided to go for a vacation with B to Thailand. A wanted to sneak over as well but his mom got sick at that point of time. Being the only child with his dad working overseas, he had to look after his mom and pray every night that G will be fine. He sent G away at the airport. And G never return home. That was the last time he saw G, who now only lives in his memories.


Few things to point out here... Note that only the guy is wet from the rain. This shows that he is sacrificing himself for the happiness of his best friend. I also drew it such that the rain conceal his tears.

He is also holding a small umbrella. The umbrella signifies care and concern and protection. In this case, it's featured so small 'cos the girl doesn't appreciate and hence made his good intentions "useless". Suppose you were to use a small umbrella in heavy rain, isn't it useless as well?

The BAS^_^D is drawn as a wolf in sheep skin. This shows that he had disguised his true form from the girl and cheat her of her feelings. What a BAS^_^D!! I wish I can give him a flying side kick!!

Note that the shadow of the guy is wearing a square hat. Thats the graduation hat. Notice also the rain water kind of make the shadow appear twisted. This shows that his dream is being sacrificed and he chose to suffer to bring happiness to the girl.

Sacrifice is also shown in the back ground where there are only dark clouds above the guy and dead grass on the grass patch behind the guy whereas there are flowers all over the grass at the girl's side.


Then I made another version of the poster. I wanted to add in more "dark" elements and hence chose grey as the main color. This adds on to the sureal'ness of the poster as well. Kind of like this more... hahaha...
