Rusaboy

We were given an after effects assignment to make a videoclip for any song.
I chose a song called "Francis" by a talented franco-canadian chanteuse who goes by the name of Coeur de Pirate.

The animation is loosely based on the lyrics, she is talking about a guy she used to know named Francis. Though they don't see each other anymore, she still remembers him. Kind of bittersweet. The deer (rusaboy) plays Francis, wandering around the girls mind.
This is only a part of the song. For the full song you can check it out here.

P.S. the video is originally high quality but since the video uploader for this blog is kinda crap, please bear with me, yeah? :3

these drawings were done for a project where we had to propose certain improvements to websites we got to pick ourselves. one of the aspects we wanted to fix for the website we chose was the visual. the pictures they had were just way too stiff. so we attempted to make more 'friendly' looking buildings as the restaurants are targeted for families. i was in charge of the designs and this is what i came up with :)

originally hand drawn and then outlined with fine liners and coloured in photoshop.

a statue i found interesting from the peranakan museum.
we went there for a school excursion and we had to pick out stuff that we think
represented the peranakan culture and hand in a drawing of it.

it's interesting how during our ancestors' (including the peranakan ones, of course) generation it was just plain simple that we had to have a god (like the statue i made a sketch of) or the God to worship, some bigger power(s) with the task of taking care of us, the planet, the whole universe. having a religion, having something we strongly believe in was just, well, logic.

now religion is accused of being some twisted conspiracy theory and God or gods are shifted to be a fragment in a human's mind merely to help us oversome our insecurities, someone we "imagine" so that we have someone to run to when everything goes wrong. religion is now somehow the opposite of what's considered logic.

how did this shift? how did this happen? does religion no longer suit these modern humans (who instead devote their body and souls to technology) anymore? we think we're so much better and advanced than our ancestors with all our modern technologies and so-called theories.

but are we really?

the hungry little reindeer

yep, based on my own personal experience.

CARMA

first ever stop motion :)
a group project with my old classmates, eve and ana in 2009.
was loads of fun doing it. you can never go wrong with silly ideas and good buddies.
always wanted to do another stop motion, a personal project, but haven't had the time to do so yet.

for now, hope you can enjoy this one!

in an older post, i once posted some pictures of a 3d model
i was working on at the time.

here is the continuation of the same project :
the blendshape a.k.a. facial expressions.
with this step done, my character can do
"oohs" "aaahs" and "ooh la las" :)

the final animation was done ages ago actually, i'll try to post it soon!

Dory's Rant

Dory's rant from the awesome Finding Nemo.
this was done as a warm up before doing a school project.
we had to get an audio clip from an actual movie and do a kinetic typo out of it.
before doing the real deal i decided to start out with a short clip.
even though it was my first time but i enjoyed doing it very much! ♥
