Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

My final project 'Hunch' , lasted almost 2 months since preproduction to post production. This was the reason why i stayed over in school for the last 3 weeks! technique: i used pastels, and a draw and erase method. so after i finish drawing frame 1, i brush it off, and draw frame 2 over it. this leaves traces of the previous frames on the paper la. of course the limitations (i learnt) is that i cannot have to complicated colors, and too many frames, if not the paper will start tearing as i erase and the paper will not take in the pastels well. and it also means i cannot make any mistakes! cos i will have to restart. i actually felt that this was like a 4d project haha. my workspace!  i 'hid' my camera in a plastic bag so no one would touch it!  bad camera quality, but u get the idea: this is my cubicle, i have a Mac, a camera, lights, walls.  the work table. there is a box to contain my pastel erasings. i seriously think that if i continued doing this project i would die from the inhalation of chalk particles. I sneezed like crazy on my first few days of starting work. that's my F&N drinks, penknife to sharpen the chalk ( it is a disgusting thing to do!) and lightbox. it's messy! Some screen stills:  Labels: work This is a still shot from my digital compositing final project -.- the whole file was 7.7 GB! hahaha the (very slow) mac in school says transfer will take 3 hours. am quite happy with the final result la. Exposing trade secrets - the cityscape is a still image, background is a ramp with 2 colors, with animated clouds, crane is handdrawn via photoshop, flame is visual effect,rooftop is still photo and i was green-screened. lights added via the programme. done in Shake software. The time consuming part was color correction, tracking movements, and ALOT OF DETAILS! but i love my prof! he is DAM ZAI!  Labels: work COMPLAIN TIME! This was an assignment for one of our modules: stopmotion animation - papercut animation this sem, (just) 3weeks to complete including preproduction (planning, storyboarding), production (animating) and post-production (compiling, editing, sound). that's a brief look at the number of photos i took! lighting, animating do finish le back always so pain cos i have to bend and take photo, then arrange all the paper bit by bit, make sure things are in place, REDO if anything went out of place. so now i am really quite sick of taking photos haha. somemore have to REDO. -.- i didnt really like this one. i tink i only like my final project!       a few hours of work would look like this -.- Labels: work First storyboard animatic i've ever done!

T-T neeways, received Prof's email today saying: Dear Benjamin Wong and Tan Lurong: Your poster is very well done. Your grade is an A. Weeeeeee!!! :D Thank God! :)  Labels: work Recent assignment for Digi Compositing was to take a photo in ntu in daylight, change the lighting to sunset or night, and then composite a photo of me/my friend in. Anyways, Shake is the software they use in ILM! so cool. Because of this Mac-only software, i'm comtemplating on getting a mac -___________________- ,cos it really is an awesome software!!! not very welldone, but oh wells. The wonder of digi touch-up and compositing!!!!  +  +  =   quite embarassing to use a photo of ben and me, frontal view, but i had no choice cos i didnt have another photo (with at least a 3/4 body shot) to use!! T-T k bye! Shake is cool! barely slept 4hrs per day ! T-T Labels: work So hard to find a storyboard layout that is nice, clean and pretty! ! So, the result is ...DIY!!!!  This is a 4:3 layout. will prolly make a 16:9 in time to come. Labels: work Quick character sheet and sample scene i did for the recent assignment submitted together with storyboard. Some Indonesian folktale about why the sun chases the moon.   Labels: work Task: This is an individual work. You are given a short video sequence (‘video’) without soundtrack.

Thank God for a good group! :D i enjoyed the assignment quite a bit!     and this is our cast line up ;)Labels: work 2d animation has to be the most painful kind of animation! have to draw everything frame by frame and redraw and redo. but on the whole, i'm quite happy with my reel la. haha.
