These three weeks are too busy with animate part.
Only can animate 1~2 clips one day. Because we pay attention to details, we need split lots of element for characters and props which parts would have activities.
As for 2nd intensive, we upload two clips on Youtube as an example to show how our interactive animation work.
After decide not use real world photography as material of background, I use Photoshop to design an animation scene.
These three weeks (include mid-break week) , we are start doing character design and go out to shoot for background materials.
Finally I picked my concept from last semester which is an interactive 2D animation called “Fatty Love Rescue”. I collaborate Cici and Nitami as group members to help me run this project.
How has my practice changed in the studio?
In the studio, continues practices and digging new ideas are achievements and rewards. This class opened my mind. At beginning, I understood the pro and cons of cellphone video, which I can use its advantages and avoid those disadvantages. The depth of cellphone focus is short and quality of videos are not as brilliant as professional cameras. But by wisely using, cellphone video can make marvelous images. Mobile applications in smartphones provides significant assistance for improve efficiency. As certain, editing footages made by smartphone on desktops can add effects that are unachievable for mobile apps. Editing on desktop is only more complicate than editing on smartphone. Smartphone is portable, has more possible angles, less preparation, less support equipment, faster and easier uploading, widely sharing and spreading than traditional camera. As an important instrument in new media era, smartphone is playing an irreplaceable role.
At times before, I have not utilized smartphone for making video projects. However, with many practices recently, I found that smartphone is a flexible and interesting filming tool. I will constantly think and innovate my shoot skill and filming methods, which is undoubtedly meaningful.

Affordance: Proximity
Based on previous two iterations (Iteration 1; Iteration 2), I decided to use a small comedy as my final project. For expressing affordance-proximity, I create a story that two characters chasing each other and getting closer and closer. The robbery idea came from the part of “Philip Bloom, Barbie Camera Challenge” and I learnt a lot from this video.
This semester I participated in two collaborative project: One is “when I open my eyes” which I am the main driver; the other is “Life with Coffee – Latte Warms the Heart” which I participated.
