1st assessment for Animation III

After a whole trimester, I'm back to having a animation class now. And here is my 1st assessment for the class; A kid's reaction to his parents arguing.

This one is actually more difficult than I thought. Feel like I could've done it better though... Orz

Oh well.....

Sleeps and Dream

I was chatting with my friend the other day. I told her about this story ideas assessment of mine. She told me a pretty useful "tool" to get stories inspiration. From your dreams in your sleep.

Everybody dreams, some realise it, some don't. But if you felt like a had a long interesting dream after you woke up, try and remember it as it might be a great story idea to work on.

I started writing down some dreams that I thought was interesting after chatting with my friends. Trying to recall your dreams is difficult as dreaming is part of your sub-conscious, but after you grab a piece of puzzle of your dream, you'd be surprised how much details you can recall from it. Even if your dreams aren't necessary good stories, it also fun to write them down and share it with your friends some other time!

TMNT

TMNT. The turtles were part of my childhood. Now here comes a remake movie of them, and yet I couldn't feel happy about it.

Why you ask? 1st, the director(I guess this sums up a lot). 2nd, this trailer. You can notice some bad CGI in it ald, cheesy lines, and don't get me started on their faces! I mean, yes their outfit and weapons are kinda nice, but the faces? Damn someone give me a bucket standby!

The thing about movie remakes, if you're going to make one, please don't destroy it, cause you're destroying our childhood memories as well.

Alice in Wonderland

Watched the movie a few days ago. My 1st thought was the author must be really high while writing the story. Hahaha!

Well, kidding aside. It's truly amazing for the imagination the author has shown in his story. There's absolutely no logic in it, and yet it's so enjoyable and amusing! I didn't really get the grasp of the movie when I was a kid because of the messed-up logic(or maybe my english weren't good that time), now that I watched it again, I enjoyed so much more than when I was a kid. It's such a brilliant animation movie! Shows again creativity has no limits.

Fun fact, the movie was based the novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and it's listed under the genre of literary nonsense. Hahaha!

Love Story

Almost every movie and story has romance in it, no matter it's an action movie, comedy, animation...... People just like to watch a good love story.

Love story movies are quite common now as well, most of them are teenage movies and are quite awful to be honest. I'm not exactly a big fan of romance movies, but exactly because I don't like this genre of movies, when I watch a really well-made romance movie, I'd be much more impressed. Again this just makes me feel, it's not about the topic, it's not about the genre, it's about how you make the plot, how you create the story. It's about the author!

So if a story is bad, that just means the writer has a really poor skill.

There's not much on there just yet. But I'll try and be more active from now on~~ 

Sense of Humour

I love stories that has humour in it. Stories that are all serious and intense are sometimes great, but most of the time are tiring to watch. And even though I like humour, I don't mean overacting crazy comedy actions, I mean something more like a small funny action, or even just a line, that randomly in between stories and tickles your bone. Like how in the movie Avengers Thor quickly says Loki is adopted after Black Widow accused Loki for mass murder.

Humour in between stories are great, they're funny and interesting, and most of the time act as a relaxing substance, let you have some room to breathe in between the intensive scenes. One of my favourite artists stjepan sejic, also known as nebezial in DeviantArt. I especially like how he uses jokes in his artworks and comic. His works reminded my of myself when I was younger as I too always like to put jokes in my comic, some of my jokes are pretty bad though. Hahaha!
