Step 1: ( Task 5)

From the 4 actions I have to finalise 2 actions where I would add them into my final animation. The action that I have chosen is exercising and rope jumping.

This is the final outcome of my final task animation video. 





Animation : TASK 1 ( THE ANIMATOR'S SURVIVAL KIT )

TASK 1 ( THE ANIMATOR'S SURVIVAL KIT )

Book review.

    In the beginning of the book, It tells us about the history of animation which happens to be created long long ago. This book also tells me about who, why and how animation started off and the names of the first few animators whom makes it big and well known like Walt Disney. Animation is hard to make and many animators made it out through solving and considering tough problems and also its very time consuming. Animation has now taken over the paintings era as now people has the desire for more as the dull looking paintings is now replaced by animated lively moving and also talking drawings, characters, scenes. This is also somehow a fascination to artist as they can now make a drawing/painting move and talk to present their messages and meanings to their audience.

TASK 5 (FIELD TRIP / PRESENTING SKILLS)

On the 9th October me and my fellow classmates went on a trip to The Royal Museum and Little India, Brickfields to get to know more about the cultures in our country. While on the trip, we were too given tasks to complete during the trip and I'm in a team with my friends Jason and Mesh. During the trip, another two of my friends Farhan and Chuu also strolls and hangout along with us. Our theme for the task is " Togetherness", for the task we are required to take pictures related to the theme and put it into Microsoft PowerPoint for presentation when we are back.


The PowerPoint presentation of our tasks.


The plants outside of the Royal Museum shows togetherness as they are all together and not alone.


Friends who brings fun, laughter and memories whenever we are together.


Taken on the way out from the Royal Museum. The peoples are walking in one and shows togetherness.


The difference between friends and Best friends is they would never leave us and being together with us at all times. No matter what and where.


Family is the most important and strong when it comes to togetherness as family are the ones who wouldn't leave no matter how, what, where and why. Also, when you had problem you cant solve or face alone, family are always the ones standing by your side and give full support.
