28.08.19 ( Week 1 )

We start our class with the briefing by Mr Martin, we were informed of what we going to learn in the coming weeks and also a rough introduction for our final project. Mr Rafiz also introduce us about sound-making and also required us to buy a good headphone which is the studio headphone. It is important to have a good headphone because the sound come out very different with the others headphones.

Next, we did a small exercise of trimming some short videos which firm by our senior.

Next week, Mr. Martin will teach us how to cut out the unimportant scenes and make it into a 50 seconds short video.

We were also required to find 3 stop motion videos that we like. There are too many good stop motion videos but these three video makes me want to continue watching it.

First, the makeup stop motion video by self acoustic

I have seen this video for a long time ago, and i did repeat this video for few times so i still remember it. I also think that the moment she wearing the contact lens is really realistic, the screen turns clear from blurry.

Delicious Stone

This is a foumous video that i bet many of us has watched before, i really like it. I like the sound effect of the video and how he turn the stone into a cake

Pigun : Break the ice

This is my childhood memory, i still remember that i have lots of the "pigun" cd. It is very cute and fun.

We started the class with the students showing their own 3 favourite stop motion videos and explain why they like it.

If i want to make a stop motion video:

My stop motion idea is make a stop motion video that come out with some thoughts and bring message to the viewers. I will use Clay or paper for my stop motion character. The visual style is like simple and fun

After that, Mr Martin continue teaching us how to trim the video shorter and remove those unimportant scenes and also teach us how to make the sound come out first before we see the sence.

Here is the final outcome of it:

After a break, Mr Rafiz give us our first exercise for sound production, it is about to make the audio (eq 1-6 ) sound the same with the original audio ( flat ) that he gave us.
