Animation Fundamentals 22.4.2023 - 10.5.2023 Johnny Lam Wee Zhe (0363436) Bachelor of Design in Creative Media  INSTRUCTIONS   FINAL PROJECT - PHYSICAL SEQUENCE ANIMATION This is the final project for Fundamental Animation. In this project, we are tasked with using the same character that we designed from the first project, similar to that of project 2. This time, the character would be doing an action, whether it be fighting, running, chasing etc. At the start of the animation process, we have to plan out the action before we can start animating. The lecturer has recommended us to use motion actor video for reference on the character and suggested a particular youtube channel. I have chosen this specific video for a reference: Fig 1. Motion Actor - Log Combo I specifically choose this as my reference as the character uses a large hammer as his primary weapon and this weapon tends to be heavy. Most of the avail...

3D Modelling 22.4.2023 - 10.5.2023 Johnny Lam Wee Zhe (0363436) Bachelor of Design in Creative Media  INSTRUCTION     PROJECT 4 - CHARACTER MODELING This is the final project for this module and we are assigned to create a 3D modelling of our own character. The lecturer has encouraged us to find blue prints of characters on the website due to time constraints and not having enough time to design our own characters. Since Courage the Cowardly Dog is was my favorite cartoon as a child, I decide to pick a character from there. My original plan is to create a 3D model of Muriel so I download the character turnaround sheet of her. Here is what I've download:   Fig 1.1 Character Turnaround Sheet of Muriel As I tried to model her out, I begin to struggle with creating the model after her and have not been able to figure out how do so, especially her head area. Looking up online for guides proves to be rather fruitless so...

Sonic Design 22.4.2023 - 10.5.2023 Johnny Lam Wee Zhe (0363436) Bachelor of Design in Creative Media    INSTRUCTIONS     PROJECT 3 - AUDIO STORYTELLING For this project, we are being tasked with creating an audio book of a popular fairy tale of any choice a provide narration, voice acting and background sounds and music. It is recommended that the source of the fairy tale should also have visuals that can be compiled into a video form.   After several searches, I found a website that tells children's fairy tale and some of the fairy tale provides multiple illustration of what's going on in the story. For this project, I decide to choose this older version of Cinderella. Fig 1. Story Berries Website As the dialogues are spoken by women (which I am not), I decide to have a voice actress to help pull off the dialogue portion of the story while I myself will be narrating the story. I will be recording...

Sonic Design 22.4.2023 - 10.5.2023 Johnny Lam Wee Zhe (0363436) Bachelor of Design in Creative Media  INSTRUCTIONS   PROJECT 4 - GAME AUDIO PROJECT Planning For the last project of the semester, we are tasked with creating our own audio to be inserted in a selection of soundless gameplay. The audio must be recorded by students and should not be obtained from others sources in the web. For this project, I have decide to pick the Child of Light gameplay as this is one of the gameplay that the lecturer has not shown us as an example and do not want to have the samples affect my work. The first action to do is to write down a list of sounds I need for this project by observing the elements shown in the video, as well as what other possible sounds that can be served as the ambient sound. From there, I list down my own sounds into a separate categories into actions, proximity, ambient and interface.    Fig 1. Sound Eleme...
