Tampines at War

This was done in visual effects class back when I was in ADM. Which was actually last year. Outside the window was actually another block of flats, which I replaced digitally. Kudos to Donald Sng for his fabulous acting.

First lesson was pretty good. Now should I still drop it?

WIP: Concept Art for FYP III

Davier — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 03:54:56 +0000

It’s the last week of school, and it’s been a crazy last week. After back to back Business Law and Western Film History examinations I had to rush preproduction work. Managed to complete the above three paintings and a 16 frame colour script within 2 days. On submission day we had to run after our professor to the bus stop just to hand up our preproduction DVD. It was also the first time I brought my tablet to school because I couldnt stand the solitude of working alone in my hostel room.

I’m also one of the lucky few who haven’t finished with their submissions. Still got one more to go – Graphic Storytelling. Woot.

As you can see from my posts, I’ve been producing truckloads of work as the semester ends. Tried a different style for the last image, which has gotten mixed reviews. I don’t really know how to make a chinese landscape painting look colourful and blend into the rest of the shots. Much to learn, I still have. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Eternal Sunshine of the Teaser Trailer

This was done as a final project for my motion graphics class. We were tasked to make a teaser trailer for a film of our choice without any original footage from the film. I chose Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Done with Adobe After Effects and Boujou. Music from the OST. Image of Clementine from the motion picture. Background footage shot with my LX3. In case you’re wondering, the words on her face are quotes from Joel and Clementine in the film. Wanted to try something experimental.

My motion graphics class is having a screening tomorrow (14th April) at the ADM Auditorium at 7pm. See you there!

The Nightmare

Another piece done for Graphic Storytelling class with Sonny Liew. We had 3 weeks to do this, but as always, I ended up rushing it the night before class. I told myself to stop doing that but somehow I still do. It’s a simple piece. We were asked to do something about a nightmare or the worst situation you can imagine yourself to be in. I thought that being dead while you’re still alive was a pretty crappy situation to be in. Second page after the break.

I have been coming back to hall from school at 5-6am in the morning almost every day, and I usually crash on my bed without the chance to tidy up my room. It’s in a mess now. There’s just too many things to do. I haven’t been home and to church in 3 weeks. Every conversation I have with my parents are quick ones because they usually call me during class or while I’m in a group discussion. I don’t like it. It’s bad for me and the people close to me.

It’ll be over soon.

First Attempt at Matchmoving

I thought I had some free time, so I attempted to learn something I’ve always thought was very cool: matchmoving. Turns out a simple matchmove like the one above was quite easy, with Maya Live and a Youtube tutorial at hand. The tough part was making it look seamless when compositing in After Effects. As you can see, I have yet to master that aspect. The live plate was shot using my beloved Panasonic LX3, starring Zhiwei, my cafe shift partner. Ok time to get back to my real work.
