The process making gasing

Subj : 2D Animation

After I make the story now I need to make the storyboards and need to think how to begin and make introduction for my animation. First I need to make a scheduled for the each frame I need to set the time for each frame. My animation should not more than 2 minute therefor I need to set the time nicely.

When I want to make this animation my lecture have told me how much drawing should I draw it count like one second contain six drawing therefore I must make 720 drawing for my 2 minute animation. Although it only take 2 minute animation but the process to make 2 minute animation was a very hard time for me.

For introduction I just make the view of the house zoom in and than go to the 3 kid next to the house. I think it will look ok because in my opinion we want to know something first we look from the surface therefore if I want to make audience keep to look at my animation I should attract them to see what happen next in my story.

For the drawing I made some of my drawing manually but some of my drawing I made it using Photoshop. In my opinion some of the drawing become easier when we do manually but some are not.

In this subject I also learnt how to make a background for some of the image. actually in animation character is not only thing that play a role to make our animation look good and interesting but sometime we can only use the view of the background as some of the part in our animation. This is because if we know the character only but we does not know where the place or what is the background of our animation it will make our story does not have a attraction. For me a good animation is when we manage to do a great character with a great background because  a great staging will make the audience feel the situation that we want to make like the situation in the evening at the village.

REFLECTIVE 
= I learnt not all the improvement in technology is a good thing sometime we need to go back in time do some of the thing manually and it will give you some quality and some of the feeling like to appreciate what the animation have to trough when they want to make some of the entertainment for us.
=I also learnt not easy to make an animation we only watch the finish animation on the television but we does not know the difficulties that all animation have gone through to make we sit and smile in front of the television.
= Other than that I also learnt how to apply not all but some of the basic principle of animation into my animation. This is because if we make our animation but we forget to apply the basic principle our animation our movement in animation will make it look like rigid and not interesting.  

Gasing

Subj : 2D Animation

On this task we need to thing something or a story that is have some culture. Because of this task were same with other subject so I decided to make one story but have two subject on it actually it is 3 subject the story.

I made the story about traditional game that I always see when I was child. My story is about 'Gasing' or in English we call it 'Top' it is a traditional game from Kelantan and it be played all around Malaysia. Gasing not only popular among the children but it also played by adults.

Gasing is a game that is made from wood that can be spinning it comes in many shape and size. Other than that gasing also have many type and each type have their own unique. For example the type of gasing such as gasing jantung, gasing piring, gasing kelamar, gasing telur, gasing berembang, gasing melayu, gasing cina, gasing buku benang dan gasing pinang.

For my story I want to show that the important of each part of the gasing that will make the gasing spinning perfectly and will spinning in a long time. This is some of my narrative for my story :

Introduction

In a village there is one boy name Abu. He has 2 best friend names Ah Seng and Mutthu. Every evening they will spend time together playing gasing. One day while they playing under a big tree in front of the house suddenly Abu’s mothers call him. She asks Abu to help her go to shop and buy some groceries for her. Abu leave his friend for a while.

Climax

While Abu goes to the shop his friend stops playing gasing and take a break. Meanwhile in the same time gasing, string, nail and Tapak Uri start taking to each other. They argue who is the most important part in a gasing game. Everyone wants to say that he is the most important part compare to each other. After that they start to fight to each other.

Ending

When the nail, gasing, and string are fighting each other suddenly Tapak Uri comes and tries to stop the argument. He explains to them that all of them are very important to make the gasing spin perfectly. They understand and befriend again. At the same time Abu comes back from the shop and get his friend back. They start playing the gasing game and they enjoy playing the game.

Closure

            Every situation that has been created has its own advantages and importance. like a top, they need each other to ensure that the top can spin properly if one of the top part of it is not perfect, it cannot be spinning tops with balanced.

REFLECTION

= From this task I know more about the history of the gasing and know the function of each part of the gasing.

= This task make me remember all the joy moment when I a little kid compare with nowadays majority the kid does not know what is gasing event they do not know how to play gasing. Kids nowadays always with their smart phone and I think it is not a healthy lifestyle.   

Making A Flip book

Subj : 2D Animation
Task : Structure 

flip book is one of the way to do an animation. For this time I need to do the basic principle of animation into a flip book and it will make me more understanding about the principle of animation.

Making a flip book is not easy and also not to hard, what we need to produce a flip book is the quality paper. If we just use a thin paper it will make the flip book difficult to flip and we cannot see the movement smoothly. There is good and bad using a thin paper, the good thing is we can trace the image easily and easy to make a movement with a nice arcs but the bad thing is when we flip it there is some page will not flip and it will be skip some of the movement.

Other than that when make a flip book make sure use a suitable size of the book because when you use a big size but have less pages it will be difficult to flip and at the end we cannot see what it's about.

 Other than that for me it is difficult to maintain the size of the image if we not use the light box. I cannot estimate the space between one action to another action and one pages to another pager therefor using the light box help me a lot to solve my problem.

There is some of the principle of animation that for me it easy to understand and easy to draw it in the flip book such as squash and stretch, arcs, and follow through and overlapping but there is a some for me it difficult such as the secondary action. I have difficulties to understanding what is actually mean by secondary action and lastly I use you tube and watch the example of the movie that is show about secondary action and FINALLY I understand what is secondary action. Secondary action is a movement that happen after the primary action such as an ant fall into the jelly the primary action was an ant will be bouncing on the top of the jelly and the secondary action was the jelly will be shaking.

When making a flip book we must draw the drawing movement a little by little so we can see the nice movement. From here also I understand that when we want to make the animation move faster we can draw the image with large space between one page to another page.

For the finishing of the flip book we must make sure that the end or the ages of the flip book are same so that it will be easy to flip and there is no page will be skip.

2D ANIMATION (TASK 2)

Subj : 2D Animation
Task : Movement

In this week we do some exercise that relate to topic for this task such as
# life drawing
# fast character sketch
# fast movie sketch
# perspective

# LIFE DRAWING
We must draw our own class mate action for me at first I feel that this activity was difficult because I'm not use to draw people in a short time. furthermore I don't like to draw a life thing especially human. At first I only draw a stick men to represent the action after that  I get to used to the draw it little by little.

This is my first drawing, I made a stick men and than I feel that drawing stick men also not easy we must understand the actual position that we want to draw and then the drawing will look nice and can understand what actually the person do at that time. When we not understanding the position of the position our drawing of the stick men will look so messy and will make other person also not understand what we want to show.

This is my second drawing, for this drawing I almost understand what and how to do the live drawing and I start to love draw live drawing. When comes to third drawing I feel enjoy drawing the human at any position because I understand how and what should I do first. First we should know and understand the position very well after that try to feel the feeling of that position and start draw the structure of the human.
#FAST CHARACTER SKETCH
Fast character sketch we need  to sit down together and we need to draw face of our friend that sit in front us according to the order that give. We are ask to draw in 5 minute and use a limited line.
For me I think it was fun and it challenge me to think what should I draw that will look or  represent the character of my friend and this is my art work.

# PERSPECTIVE
     For this subtopic I love to make it because when I was in form six I have done it but I'm not remember how to start it. Therefore I must start from beginning try to understand what is actually means by perspective. At first it look very confuse and I don't know where to put the focus point. but thanks to Tomie he help me a lot in understanding the concept of perspective.

This is my first try drawing a perspective, I think I have forget the rule and how to draw a perspective that why my drawing look like a rubbish...huhuhhuu... But try to identify where is my mistake and try to understand the concept of perspective.

 
And here it is, this is my second perspective drawing of the studio. I think I have understand the concept of perspective and I think I like it. Therefore  I continue draw a perspective of the corridor of the studio and this is my drawing.

Perspective is about how we see the thing the more closer the thing to us the bigger it in perspective drawing. Perspective drawing have many type such as one point of perspective drawing and two point of perspective drawing it depend on what we want to draw.
