Project1 more ideas

As we're read through our storyboards, more ideas come to mind. Jame's has a idea that actually really interest me man, and kaya had completed a cool swirling effect. Man! this team is going way up!.

Now im gonna learn how to do light sabers! :D I'm just really afraid i might go off topic.

!!FOCUS IS THE WORD!!

Today was a rest day for me, went down and have a few bball games with friends.
Now back to some warming up in flash. Off i go!

Storyboard

well, since i'm blogging, i will share about our storyboard.
we came out with the draft storyboard and went for consultation.
everything seems fine and wahidah seems no rejection of our idea.

things that we are missing in our storyboard will be duration of each keyframe,
the sound effects, the visual effects, the background music and nevertheless, the script.

now we have went for the 2nd round of story boarding and i think we have a clearer vision of what we want, so we have a nicer and neater storyboard this time.

everyone seems tired including myself as thurdays there will be presentation for P1 and HnC.
hope everything turn out well for both..

Applause KMJCO ppl!!

all the best!

Opss...i think we have alot alot to do,
after planning out the time line.
We distribute the job evenly thorough ourselves.
Only to find out there is more to be done.
We have done research on after effects.
Getting a vaugue idea of how is every thing done.
prduction week will not be starting untill next week.
so we have to get everything done by this week.

Project proposal,
the sotry board
time line,
talent sourceing,
mood board.
.
.
.
the list continues on and on and on.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=dvargHmD_2bRUg_2bMXTHL3BmA_3d_3d

thanks so much...we needed to finalised the idea and source of it..

your help is greatly appreciated..


CHEERS!

happy sunday everyone, btw..

Timeline, Deadline

We have rough idea on how our final would look like, and aiming to have the moodboard done by mon.

Kmjco ftw.

Production Planning

Planning
Today we had a little short discussion on what should be included in our production, things there are to be noted of before filming.

eg. location of shot, background noises and interferences, angles of shots, materials used etc.

Location of shots wouldn't be much of a problem as most of our shots will be taken in school.

Everything in Team Kmjco is moving at a smooth pace.

Matthew

Rough idea

today our group came into a conclusion and most of our idea is about to be completed
we picked out good points from each of our idea and develop into something good.

everything seems smooth at the moment and we are doing quite well.
anyway, our final will be more of an animation than video.
i'm not going to reveal much this moment till storyboard and finalisation is done.

so keep look out for our updates on the final idea.

at this moment, share some video that gave us the idea...CHEERS!!!

BRAIN~~~~ STORM~~..
this is a whole day of thunder and lightning.
We need a whole new set of knowledge
for moi p1.
i think many people decided to not make it simple.
Hence we must not fall back and take a easy way out.
we have a alot of reference to look for a lot of videos to look and research waiting for us to do..

Individual Presentation

Well, today its about individual presentation.

3 of us shared our ideas within the class and
everything seems quite ok.
Wahidah gave us valuable advice for changes and i felt it really useful.
it allow us to improve our idea...

well, share our idea here as we dun really using it
only for some areas.

Matt's idea:

1.Animation Clock which talk about time management in design school
2.i forgotten.. LOL

Kaya's Idea:

1.Reflection where there is mirror around us and we will be doing different explanation of modules or so
2. i forgotten again.. LOL

James's Idea:
1. Some introduction and interviews on students and local film maker, Boo Jun Feng (www.boojunfeng.wordpress.com)
2. similar but more demoreel style..

kk...want to know more of our idea and concept, come on over and talk to us, we willing to share with u..


JAMES

kaya.

Well today,
it's individual development presentation.
we had to present our 2 ideas that we want to develop
during the final presentation.
Compared to what we did for Exercise one.
this is quite lousy as i would put it.

Well looking from this we had actually quite alot still to work from.
many of the ideas we still very rough.
For now this is hard work. =)

damn tired.

Im still up doing my project proposal. Have been redo-ing cause i didn't read the brief correctly. And yes, always read the brief and understand the questions. This is very important.

Today went to find my friend who has just joined the design school at SIM.
He needed some tips and help for his work. So i told him all the things i've learned from drawing essential module. It actually helped him, especially the measuring of proportion.

Observation drawing, using the pencil to roughly estimate the angle of the object/thing.

Im off to do my proposal.

Matthew

short update

well, its weekend and everyone should be preparing for their individual.
i'm much of brain storming for ideas and preparing for presentation.
i'm still considering of doing a story board at this stage.
well well well, since i'm working, i have to ton over night again today..
haiz..

all the best to everyone..

Friday-Feb 13!!

Well, its a Friday the 13th and in the western, they believe is a bad day.
however, to us, i felt it was kind of a pretty good day as presentation goes quite well.
i think i would share abit about the presentation. i think our presentation was
pretty good, my teams member and me have presented quite well.
i felt quite pleased when wahidah has commented on some of our point in the positive way.
although there is also 1 or 2 points that are negative, i felt that is where we should improve but
not grumble about it. there is some points that we missed out in the presentation but it was in the proposal.
the result of why we did not include because the presentation was long enough for us.
i have received comment from my classmate about our presentation and we will definitely work into those areas.

share some recaps that we did last few days.
our brain was generating for ideas and evaluation for the past few days.
its mainly about brainstorming of ideas, concept and solution.
how did some of the interesting ideas that i personally think it was interesting came by?
Fishing is one of the activities that we wanted to included but our problem was about communication and technology.
so i recalled i played before an arcade game that is about fishing.
the idea struck into my brain with the mixture of technology and communication,
the elderly is able to teach the youth, the original fishing method and the youth is
able to showing the elderly the new technology of fishing in the computerise way.
less time consuming and under a cool condition environment.
and other than this, we are thinking of idea how to make our idea unique.

it was quite tiring for other classmate and us having history design culture and MOI P1 together.
however, i believe this will be the life that we will be having in future. i have prepared this life
since i entered ITE where they also trained us to prepare for the working environment like some of my
friends in ITE doing now. Having presentation here and there, not only helps us in our presentation skill but also
how to prepare ideas and solution for our client in future. i think we have done a great job at this stage with my team.

*A ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO KAYA, MATTHEW AND MYSELF!!!*

and now, i would share something that i have encountered within my team.
i'm not sure how other of my group members thinks, but i felt there is some
misunderstanding of communication and idea when we are brainstorming of idea.
As my personality is quite stubborn and kind of demanding, i quite resist of changing idea.
but i think sometimes i insist in my idea because there is a reason behind it.
i apologise to my kaya and matthew if there is any misunderstanding between us.
just speak out if there is.
well, afterall, i really happy to work with them together because we all have a common dream that we
are targeting for, which is animation. thanks for the understanding these few days.

James.

Tired, work 100% eneregy 5%

Kaya.

Whoa massive project work.
Left us lost track of our time Big time.
Well somehow we managed to finish our project in due time,
Handed up some decent proposals.
But the Presentation had been push forth to the next week.
Grateful but, it had left me in some pretty deep problems.

Anyways, for the past 2 days we have seen some of the advertisements done by professionals and how it they wanted it to portray to reflect their missionary.
This has left us a idea on how to do the project proposal,
and many of us saw the significance of missionary.

Project Proposal

Monday, Feb 9.
We started our class at 1, leaving more then enough time for us to rest.

Class started off with a little exercise. With our groups gathered, we were to discuss and gather all the information we have on writing a proposal. What to and not to include in the proposal.

We had our little agreement and disagreement session, but after a little explaining, doubts are cleared. What i have learnt is to speak out and explain when needed to. Overall the discussion went pretty well.
No rejection of ideas, just explaination.

After all that brainstorming, everyone was given the project proposal guide my our lecturer. Guides to include in our proposal are,

Title Page, Design Problem, Background, Objectives, Message, Description, Timeline, task and milestones, Roles, Logistics and technical implementation, Budget, Research and References.

When class has ended, we're off the celebrate Shaun and Angelines birthday.
COOL!?

Survey Links

Hi, just pop up into the blog for a moment.

our survey is done and hope anyone who saw our blog could
just spare a little time to help us fill in the blank
its some simple and short question.

15min Consultation

Basically, we are on the process of surveying people
and gathering information of generation gap.

processing useful question in our survey do helps in our research.
we are looking into the main few causes of generation gap because we want to
bridge the gap by making different group of people to understand one another.

i would say currently we have done about 25% or even more, we will be doing survey on different groups of people that wahidah pointed out clearly to us.

its quite complicated but we have to understand the result have to be even or rather fair.
we have to concern about the race, gender, age, qualification, living environment and more.
so now, we understand how to do a survey correctly to get a accurate answer.

i would like to share some website that i mention earlier on in my respond.

“Sprout”

www.sproutdesign.co.uk



“SCA Packaging UK and Ireland”

http://www.scapackaging.co.uk/en/Innovation-and-Design/Design-process2/




“A clear design statement gives the general outline of the problem to be solved, as well as the purpose of the proposed solution.”
Examples can be found in

http://www.technologystudent.com/esignpro/problem1.htm





Observe the design process and the research methodology:

Hope you guys enjoy the website
(would update more of the it soon)

Fourth day out of comfort.

Work completed : approx. 10%
research starts on doing exercise one.
What is generation gap.
It is the difference of attitude and values between a generation and another.
How to close up generation gaps?
Now with better medical facilities and lower birth rates.
people are getting OLDER each YEAR.
like you and me =)
well, we have decided to do both qualitative survey and quantitative survey.
internet sources such as online question asked on yahoo or Wikipedia or even forums.
Well i guess our presentation from all the different groups will be around the same.
survey to people of the age from around 12-19 are expected.
Why them you might ask.
as they are the most probable people to have a generation gap with the older generations.
As during this age group they are subjected to change according to their surrounding elements.
and as for the older generation, whom is comfortable with their current lifestyle are rather unwilling to change to fit.
Hence cause generation gap.
as for the "how to"s
we have to do further research then..

3rd Day Of Moi Project 1

Matthew

A very early day. Having to wake up early while my brother from rp gets to sleep for the rest of the day. The holidays between polys are really different. My free time hardly matches with my family and friends.

Victric thng, a former student from tp. He was invited to tp, showing us a few of his short film productions. He's film has also been send to the film festival.

He help us understand the different films that other country has. exmaple like a short film production done by him mole, it was nice and interesting to watch, something different from other films. But sadly this film wasn't as interesting to the europeans. He said it was quite "common" to the them. Can't expect a Wow from them. This actually brought up to my mind, that research is very important, knowing what your cilent most wants and don't wants.

Victric thng didn't actually planned to become a film director said by himself.
And also to him, most beautiful things in life are not planned and happen naturally.
I strongly agree to this, most youngsters including myself, ain't sure what they want for the time being. We just need time to know ourselves better.

Little advice i remembered from the talk. Filming the story with your heart and soul, expressing what you want the audience to know. This is the main focus of having a good film. Sure having more angles and lightings will make the film better, but losing it's focus of the film is bad.

I've learnt a little something from Victric film is that, staying at home and thinking about what to do won't do any much good. It's always better to explore, go out of your door step and take a good look at the outside world. Capture and create ideas rather then forcing ideas out.

I'm still quite clueless whether is it animation that i want, or is it video but i'm sure i'll find it out soon.

2nd day of MOI P1.

James

Today is the 2nd day of MOI P1.
it was quite in a chaos because we have to prepare a presentation
in less than an hour about design process. Although we wasted quite sometimes
on searching of computer, but i personally think that our information provided was sufficient.
Well, now we have understand what is a design process and how it helps us to make or plan things easier.
Presentation in class is quite useful as we are able to get advice and comment from lecturer and classmates that
allow us to improve our presentation skills. It also helped us in presenting our ideas to client in future.

i will share what we have learnt in class today.

>What is a Designer Role?
From my point of view, i personally think that designer have the responsibility to solve problem in a
innovative way that profit the user and social.

Now i will share my point of view and researches about design process

>What is a Design Process

-Discovery
The objective of the Discover stage is to act as a ‘phase of divergent thought’, where the designers and other project team members keep their perspectives wide to allow for a broad range of ideas and influences. In this stage of the design process, the company is asking a question, posing a hypothesis or identifying a problem by analysing market data, trends and other information sources.

Taking example of the creation of laptop. In the past, there is only computers and it is not portable. it is inconvenient for user that need to use the computer in the public as it is too bulky to carry around and it has to be operate with electricity. So this is the problem encountered by people.

-Define
At the Define stage, a combination of the ideas or directions identified during the Discover stage are analysed and synthesised into a brief with actionable tasks related to new and existing product or service development. The Define stage ends with a clear definition of the problem(s) and a plan for how to address this through a design-led product or service. In practice, the Define stage ends in a project go-ahead through corporate level sign-off.

As mention earlier in the discovery section on computer, people are facing using computer in the public. Now designer are finding possible solution to solve the problem.

-Develop

At the Develop stage the project has been taken through a formal sign-off, which has given the corporate and financial backing to the development of one or more concepts that have addressed the initial problem. This include creative techniques and methods such as brainstorming, visualisation, prototyping, testing and scenarios. The methods and working processes are in many cases similar to those during the Define stage, but are this time focussed on bringing the agreed product to fruition.

Now, the designer have to create prototypes of portable computer and looking for problems from the current product that they invented.

-Deliver
It will result in a product or service that successfully addresses the problem identified during the Discover stage. It will also include processes for feeding back lessons from the full design process to inform future projects, including methods, ways of working and relevant information.

Finally, the final product is out. But this does not mean it is totally ready for market as they have to get feedback on the product and improving the product.


This is what i have understand and learnt about design process for the 2nd day of class. With the knowledge enhanced from Wahidah and information shared by our classmate, i think i have understand well about the process and how it helps to solve problem. Wahidah has also shared a few website on design process and soon i will edit the post for the useful website.

first day to doom

kaya.
Today is the first day of MOI p1.
quite a hectic start for us freshies,
i sure it left most of us lost on what to do.
So here is what i understood.
During the mass meeting, i understood that we must do a visual portfolio.
and our target audience will be the next generation of MOI
and our very own parents.
Ideas to be generated and shared among group.
Generating ideas could be easy but pick a possible one would be hard for us.
The production will be far to talk about it now but i would very much like it to be animation thou.
Oh, i almost forgot about the ground rules.
To our disappointment it is too much constricting,
however to our long term benefit.
So, the first exercise is about the older generation,
to create bonding younger and older generations
and to let the older generation to lead a healthy lifestyle.
So, here is the blog that we are supposed to do and the first post.
About :Exercise one
to lead a healthy lifestyle more exercise.
to close generation gap, more time spent with family and less work.
