http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IICGkOtJ9E

3D technique is very popular this year. After the movie, Avatar, the director use new 3D technique. In many people opinion, Avatar is a 3D technique milestone and change many visual screen. The 3D Ppojection mapping also want to attract many people by 3D technique.

In this film, it have mapping project on the building. It look not different with other projection system. But the mapping is animating on the building and just like the real material on the building and it like have spirit.

In fact, people have been researched the 3D projection mapping for decade. But people apply those technique in many area: such as animations, movies, media...etc.

At last time, we only saw about 3D animation film. But today, let's us see a funny film and make by clay. In fact, any resource can make animation film.

Sometimes, people usually call that is stop motion. We usually use camera and photograph those clay characters and ground step by step. For instence, two characters hold a pose and take a photo at that time.

After, we a bit of turn characters pose and also take it. We make it continuously and we can get many successive photo.In fact, the rule is traditional animation processing principle.

Next, I like its action because each charater is lifelike immensely. If you notice some detail like food and the chatacters' face. It is very vivid. Such as two chef cook food just like jelly elasticity and cute.

In fact, I do not want to discuss the film's story. Because it is not important for me. Today, our focus on action and source. Althought some people minght question the story which it is very ordinary; However, we must not measure it with only story because source and skill.

A Comparison of Two Posters

The left and right posters describe disaster stories. They also talk about the cities which are destroyed by the disaster. Leading character usually is a nobody in the two stories. The left poster talks about floods, Noah's Ark and prediction. The right poster, on the other hand, talks about volcano, explosion and magma.

The first different is color and layout. In the left one, the color is blue and it uses wide scene, but the right one is red and only focus a city. The left poster layout have flood, tsunami, and earthquake, therefore the color is blue and the symbolize ending or despair. But the another one, the red usually symbolize angry and violent. The volcano burst magma and looks like very violent in this picture.

In addition, we compare the two stories. It also has the same point on two scenes. For instance, 2012 is a flood story and many people are afraid of the end of world in all areas. People are just like many small ant and they feel quite helpless. Only a little of people who have privilege can avoid this big flood. In contrast, people are also scared of the disaster and might die after several volcanic eruptions, but many townsmen are led to a place of safely.

To sum up, the two posters’ ending are not different. One ending is flood all over the world and only some people are rescued. Other ending, many people are safely. But they are equally interesting.

Last month, we saw the 2010 Winter Olympic's animation ad film. Now, let's us see another funny animation film "Quest". This animation film are celebrated by FIFA World Cup. Brazil usually come to mind when we think of soccer. FIFA World Cup have been hold eighteen World Cup.

The Brazil soccer term have been into the final qualification for eighteen consecutive word cup and won the championship five times. The soccer is a very important sport for Brazil.

The animation short film that I like motion and huge ground. The characters in this film are vey active. I think it is the symbol of one. At first, the children are playing the soccer and the ground change very quickly. More and more characters appear in the football field gradually.

In this film, children, adolescent, adult and even big rock man are very happy and vitality. For the animation film, the motion decide that animation's good or bad and this film use the motion successfully even if the robot or rock man also have spirit just like alive people.

Although this short film is a coke bussiness film. But a good animation film is not limited in creative film or award film. However, let's us enjoy with FIFA World Cup and and encourage all football terms.

This film's content is about we have to economize on water in any time and a simple act also be a super hero. We not neglect any detail things even if the thing is very simple and small. We used very exaggerative way and communicted my faith. I like this film is the film's technique is very funny and cool. I pride myself on this ending film because these virtual tropical fishs were made by myself.

This animation short film made in July,2008. In fact, It have three short film and this film is one of them. This film was made by a team in Star TV company. The team contain two animator and three apprentices. When I was an apprentice in Star TV company, I also joined the team that made this short film. In my apprenticeship,

I learned many about animation experience. Its like shoot a film and synthesize film. For me, its very important experience.

The 2010 Winter Olympics

The 2010 winter Olympics were hold in Canada. In fact, I am not enteresting in it. Why do I want to mention the 2010 winter Olympics? Because one day I saw a funny short ad animation and it is a 3D animation.

This year's Olympic symbol is based on an inukshuk. An inukshuk were native people in Canada and they were construct their village together. I think this animation structurs eventually came to represent teamwork, friendship and hope and these are Olympic spirit.

The short animation describe five player pull rope hardly and Five player's face, race and culture are different. They combine five continents gradually and five contients become a original huge contient.In fact, the Olympic's LOGO is five difficult color cricles originally. I think this animation conform the original Olympic spirit.

MRT creative animation contest

My short animation not have aaward in MRT creative animation contest at March. But my friends and I were surprise many not very well animation were selected. Not only my friends and I but also many people doubted injustice that the MRT creative animation contest.

There have thirty animations were selected but actually have nine animations' author were classmates and they only Sophomore. The first animation' auhor also studied the same collage with another eight students.

Their teacher even said their collage have no fame in Taiwam so they only want promote their collage's fame by many contests. This event happended many coincidences that mnay people not doubt the contest was injustice.

Some people criticized judge have no professional ability. The news also reported this event. But MRT company and judge only saied thay will improve at next time. Many people were very angly and said they have no sincerity for this event.

After this event bursted, many people already have no faith in official contest that goverment hold. But I don't give up my mind and participated many contests even if MRT creative animation contest minght not a impartial contest.

Happy Buddha's Birthday I

I participated in the contest sponsored by Chinese Buddha's High Young Adult in March. Chinese Buddha's High Young Adult held a design contest to celebrate Buddha's birthday.

The Buddha's birthday contest's item contain Creative Goods, Graphic Card and Animation short film. Without a doubt, I chose short animation because I have not confidence for my paint skill.

I spent one day construct my story, layout and characters. At first, My story is Buddha's life that distribute Buddha was born in India and he was a prince. He had a wealthy family when he was a child so he didn't know what is poor life, disease and died until he went to village. He started his ascetic life and became respectable Buddha.

Furthermore, I designed the characters. I collected some of about Buddha characters and refered to before awared works. I desided my style is cute characters. I think the cute characters is smooth-faced and mass people embrace cute and simple style.

Next, I use simple layout and simple action because I think the contest is serious and formal activity for Chinese Buddha's High Young Adult. Although creative and funny is important for a animation but some have to consider what is the subject and theme. I chose conservative way to show my short animation.

To sum up, the layout and color are also very important for a animation film. Although your story and characters are vey well. If the final film's layout and color is very ugly and inharmonious. The film also not a good film. After this contest I understand that making a film have to step by step.

Pixels

Last weekend, I saw a short film on the Internet.It is very cool. This short film's contain have many charcters' element is pixel.It is just like its name. It is made by a studio and this studio is OneMoreProduction.Patrick Jean wrote scenario and directed it.Matias Boucard was this film's graphic director.

This film described that the 8-bit monsters attacked New York. Every thing would become 8-bit pixel if they were attacked. Finaly, the world in the film became 8-bit pixel and the earth didn't run away from this disaster. The earth became "a cube".

If you looked or played Nintendo or other video game about ten years age. You are not strange to those pisel characters in this short film. They are very popular character at that time.

The film is not only simple 3d animation film. It combine real scene with 3d animation.I very like this film that use many cool effect or combine real with virtual. We usually call it Virtual Aynthesis and see this technique in many movies.For example, Transformers, 2012 and Avatar...etc.
