computer graphic assignment 2

in this semester, our computer graphic class's teacher taught us about the software "Flash". It is a wonderful tool to create simple animation. In our assignment 2, we were asked to create a short flash of a topic "1 Malaysia".

the short flash i created only consist 15 seconds. the following are the steps i done for my assignment 2.

step 1:
in order to manipulate every object easier later, i divide everything in to different layers and name them accordingly. after that, i press F8 to convert everything in movie clips.

1 create layers for every object.jpg

step 2:
i create folders to sort related object into the same folder, so that my documents are more organized and easy to be review.

2 create folders to group related object.jpg

step 3:
my flash was based on the movement of pictures and words, so i 1st made sure that my background is always in view till the last frame by pressing F5 at frame 360th.

3 makes sure the background stay till the last frame.jpg

step 4:
in order to emphasize on the word Malaysia, i made the word swooshed out the screen by using the swoosh effect under motion preset. after that, i made sure i create another frame of the word "Malaysia" till frame 360th after the motion to insure my typography did not disappear.

4 use motion preset to create swoosh effect.jpg

step 5:
i then used motion preset again to create zoom-in-2D effect to the Chinese kid image.

5 use MP to create zoom in 2D effect.jpg

step 6:
i used zoom-out-2D effect under motion preset to emphasize the main race of our country, and on the other hand, i made that image zoomed out is because it is a picture that showed happiness of children and togetherness.

6 use zoom out 2D MP.jpg

step 7:
as i had already used 3 effects before hand, this time i did not use any special effect as i do not wish to overdo the flash. i used empty frames before hand, and by the time i reaches frame 175th i press F6 so that i can insert the image.

7 no effect due to over use.jpg

step 8:
i used fly-in-left effect under motion preset at frame 218th to start the message that i wanted to show in this short flash.

8 use fly in left MP and add new frames at 218.jpg

step 9:
on the 2nd text, i played with slow to fast zoom in effect for the word "power" byclicking the object , then go to motion edition, drag my simple slow button to +100, and lastly made sure i i clicked "simple slow" at the basic motion, so that my effect will works.

after all the setting, i start dragging my word from the end point to the left, so that later on it will zoom into the image.

9 use M edition to make it slow to fast.jpg

step 10:
there is no effect on the words " ruin everything...." with the same reason stated above. but made sure the image start showing at frame 272th.

10 no effect as well.jpg

step 11:
on frame 315 to 337th, i divided the key frames into equal proportion of 4 to make fade in effect. the effect was done by clicking the picture before hand and go to properties, under style select alpha. then i adjusted the opacity of the object accordingly to show nicer effect which is very uniform.

11 click object, devide section, and select alpha for opacity.jpg

12 adjust the alpha to control opacity.jpg

With all the steps above, i had done my assignment 2.

creative study assignment 2

The Enchantments of Music in Creative Multimedia

This is the 2nd project in creative study in semester 2. We were told to use all the method learn from this overall semester and product a final project which is related to creative multimedia in a groups of 5. Our team members consist of

Melisa Yee Pik Lian

Tang Lee Yin

Yong Hooi Khim

Wong Yi Vonn

Jesynthia Lim Sher Meen

after a lot of discussion, we came to a conclusion to do a project based on the title "The Enchantments of Music in Creative Multimedia" the following is the process of what we had sketched, mind-mapped and in the end product a short video clips consisting of music with drawings.

this is the 1st mind map that we came to. after consultation from our lecturer, we found that the mind map is unsuitable as it is too general and does not have a focus of topic on it.

this is the 2nd mind map we came to conclusion. however the info was too little. so we redo it of the 3rd time and came to the final one that we all agreed on.

after that we picked up some random word in order to find some characteristic of the random word selected to relate to our topic. the leader then wrote an essay of 800 words to describe what are we going to present about.

random words

essay

the next step that we do is to come up wit some sketch that is related to our topic

sketch 1

sketch 2

sketch3

sketch4

sketch5

sketch6

sketch7

we then took another consultation with our teacher. the teacher conclude that our sketches consist of something in comment, which is a flow which represent the flow of music. the lecturer suggested that we use hands to make it looks like it is dancing with the music, and we took that option and turn it to foot steps.

sketch2

sketch3

all our footstep frames was edited using photoshop with an original footstep so that all our group members will follow the same image as we goes along then edit process.

one of our group member is responsible to do the edit of the music to make some part to fast pace while some to slower pace. our leader are responsible to do the final combination of the video with the frames produce by others teams members. while the other 3 members produce frames over frames of footstep to suit the music.

i like those invention very much as it is a very convenient.

week8-- exercise

by using a random object (cat)we were asked to create an object that is scary and look harmful to human that can last for 100 years.

the characteristic that i choose from the cat are below:

tail (long)

to create a trap that will tangle or hang a person who pass into it


fang (sharp)

to create an object that is sharp on the surface so that no one can touch it

eyes (glow)

to create an object that is so bright that a person can not open their eyes when they are near the object

fur （surface)

to create a surface with dark gray color which look slimy and sticky


claw (sharp)

to create a protection to the object that will cut a person hand if they try to take the object

color ( yellow)
make an object with yellow color to show a sign of warning by our sub-conscious mind

week8 -- random words

this week our teacher say that most people always look for easy way out. whenever we faced a problem we tend to react by avoiding the problem, that is why we are outsmarted by other people. Just like a donkey been partially blinded by a blindfold, and the only thing it can see is the carrot hanging in front of him.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZeB2QU_u8tDLjnTUJL2-KzI9TQtgca926avcNa0nqobfAwFkCyhNMClhmguMSQvpRsXBr2cqUa3mfFoDuFHtthAfTR6umPMsBIBo04zkUWpwx4naUBmY6sriGtB0Vu_m7orzDIwC_A6Me/s320/donkey.gif

this indirectly means that in desperate moment, we will show an opening for smart people to attack out weak spot.

however, with correct method we can gain what we wan. for example, people use stereotypical answer to avoid the real reason behind a change or obstacle.

one of a creative way to solve a problem is to pick a random word out from a random source, take its characteristic but not the word itself and make it into a effective solution.

Mr. Radzi gave us 6 picture to let us practice on analogy as our homework for this week. and here is what i have done.

concept of love ( chili )

Loving you is like loving a chili.
you are hot by looking,
you are spicy when taste.
however,
you kept a distance from everyone,
by flaming us when we touch.


concept of life (cards)

throughout our life we made new friends just like making cards,
everyone of them represent a status,
good or bad, useful or useless,
it helps us a lot during emergency,
the friendship are easy to create and easy to destroy,
over use it create trouble,
appreciate it makes our life road brighter.


concept of man (sheep)

every human being is like a sheep.
everyone of us are as different and interesting as a sheep,
kindness inside of us that could be manipulated,
we could be useful to the community,
if,
we tried.

concept of happiness ( clock)
Just like time represent gold,
it brings happiness to us,
and memory to be remember.
once passed it cannot be reversed,
appreciate it while the time still clicking.


concept of pain ( ice-cream)pain is sometimes like an ice-cream,
we know it is harmful but we still craving for it,
sometimes it hurts us,
and caused side effect,
no matter how it hurt us,
it will melt through time.
