~RelationShrimp~

After 7 month,finally this day has arrived. The day I putted down the last stroke to the film. I know this is not the best film ever but I did put in lots and lots effort in to it. This is defiantly the best piece of art work I produced in Sheridan,I am very proud of it. In here,I want to thank everyone who ever helped me on this film both physically and mentally, really appreciated, this film couldn't finish with out you all. Too many things had happened to me during these 7 month, once again thank to people who gave me strength when I was weak. I feel ready for the next chapter of my life, thank you all and wish you all the best~

Deadline of the film...

This is the most updated version of my film. This is also the best I can pulled out before the dead line for the student screening. There are still many places have to fix and scenes have to complete. However I am glad this film has finally came together. I am really looking forward to polish this more for the industry day, wish me luck!

2008 Sheridan BBA Animation graduate's character poster~

One of my peer gathered everyone's film characters and put them together in to this poster, it looks wonderful~ Thanks Alan!!!

Promotional Package~

Got sick today... so I decided to take a day off from the film and worked on designs for the dvd cover and business card. * fixed the spelling mistake on the card. Thanks for Felipe's reminding.

Testing Testing~

This is the another test run from clean up to compositing. As you can see it has many mistakes but I sure learned a lot from this attempt. with this experience now I can finally able to see this film as a whole and understand what to beware of in clean up, scanning, labeling, coloring and compositing. It really helped, I am glad I did it because of it, now I have more confident of what I am doing now. I know this is not a really pleased result to show on the blog but however I still decided to post it out because it's a important mile stone in my film production.

About the film~

This is the most updated of my working process. Few of the scenes were changed therefor the timing is slightly different now. I hope the new editing and refines enhance the film.

This is a quick testing for photoshop clean up actions I got from a friend. It worked out quit well, if there no "accident" this would probably the final look for the whole film~ Thank you James!!!

Blue&Orange~

Played around with colours~

Shark boy

Played around with PS again. Maybe it's time to pull out some decent painting instead of just playing around with filters -_-

Rough Animation#2

well, just finished all the rough themes but still, a lot of revision will need to be made with in this week. Hopefully I will have enough time to do all the fixing before Sunday so I can move on to clean up stage by next week as I planed to~!

Helpless girl...

Played around with PS for a while at the end of the day and its how it turned out.

Valentine's Day~

I was playing around PS when I done for the day, didn't mean to create anything but it end up like this. I quite like it.

Rough Animations~

This week is the mile stone for 50% rough animation done and this is what I have so far, Many themes need to be fixed but so far I just want to get every single theme done and if I have time later on, I would go back and enhance more. Take a look~

Damn~! it's COLD...

These pictures were taken yesterday in Toronto. what a freezing day!but those pigeons looks so cute though lol~

Colours~

trying some colour for both character to see how do they fit in to the mood.

Locked down!

Final got the characters locked down, but hasn't make up my mind for the colours for them. Have been busy with animating since the semester started hopefully soon would be able to post some line test videos out.

Sleepy...

Slept for 3 hours and life drawing for 6 hours... not a good idea -_-

Reel #4~

This is the 4th editions I came out with... again, I have changed a lot of things, and hopefully this version can get the message across to audience. I have received many wonderful fee back from many people, thank you all. I was taking all the advices very serious and tried to make a film that contents all the ideas and gags. But after all I was confused, I realized that I can't possibly to produce a film that everyone likes. Therefore I decided to make a film that would please me the most and wish the humor within would make you enjoy as well. Once again thanks for all the great ideas and suggestions.

Life drawings

I really like this pose. Wish I had a bit more time to make it more complete.

Rough reel #2

After heard many advices and making changes finally another rough reel was produced. In this new versions I changed many scenes and gave the story much faster rhythm. Thanks for people who gave me advices and new ideas, really appreciated. The goal of this rough reel is to get the right timing and to test if those new ideas works out well. If there is no accident I will start to make a more detail version of it(hopefully). Still welcome for any advice for improvement. Thank you~!!!

Life drawings

Life Drawing from today's class. Again, trying to looking for shapes, caricatures and forms. Quite happy with those two drawings.

Layout for the film

I was trying to create a layout that shows the over all atmosphere for my film. I spend roughly a week on this piece but it didn't turn out quit the same as I had in mind it was very frustrating. Thanks for people who gave me critiques, I understand where I need to improve now. Hopefully the next one would reach my satisfaction. Feel free to make critiques, thank you~

Panda kicks in~Ha Daaaa~~~!!!

DreamWorks's next feature film "Kung Fu Panda" coming up at June 2008. For a long time haven't seen any Chinese related animation comes on big screen. The five Kung Fu masters repersent the most commond aniaml kung fu fighting style and add an extra one, the Panda, it makes the story alot more intresting. All the characters seem welly designed and the animation looks awesome, can't wait too see it. Here is the link to the official website http://www.kungfupanda.com/

CAST

Tony Leung 梁朝偉

Tang Wei 湯唯

Joan Chen 陳沖

Wang Lee-Hom 王立宏

The latest movie direct by Ang Lee, the Oscar wining director he is also the director of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Brokeback Mountain. I watched it during the reading week. I have to say, it is another master piece done by Ang Lee and it moved my heart deeply. This film has such depth that I believed only watch once is not enough. The story is very solid and staged nicely with many beautiful shots and music but no cheesyness. This movie only be showing in the selected theaters if you have a chance, watch it, and you wont be regreted!
