Week 2

11^th Nov 2013

Having discussion with lecturer and tutor of the STI form. The feedbacks from them were the learning scoop for this project is too small. However, I've been asked to refine and rethink about the platform that I am interested and want to learn. I done some research on some video in Vimeo, I found a video that inspired me in this project which call Not Such a Good Day by Natty Boonmasiri (video below). This video is interesting as it formed with mixed media, using clay for the character as stop motion while everything background behind is 2D. Other inspired video that I found is Carpe Diem by Dimitri Kozma, that the animation made up from mixing techniques such as the stop motion with clay animation, graphic animation, 3D and 2D handmade, cutout animation.

However it comes to my decision as I would like to execute mixed media interaction animation in this project as 2D for the background and 3D for the characters.

12^th nov 2013 onwards

Discussed again the idea with lecturer and tutor, however they asked to think about the content which can match the platform and giving more interaction to the user.For example, create two buttons and each button will link to different outcome. After all, I having severals days of brainstorming the ideas and storyline. I have also done some research on 3D max and Cinema 4D, I have research that Cinema 4D is easier to learn, and contain few useful tools compare to 3D max.
