Meeting With Mike, Dan & Jared

We are not suppose to update our blog right now since we have submitted our work today but our tutor Mike Smith have gave as permission to do so regarding our meeting today with Jared and Dan. The meeting was about our final film, which we had submitted on Friday that we have gone over the time limit because our film was about over 5mins long so our tutors helped us to cut down unnecessary part for the degree show. Most importantly we had an issue with the back ground sound on certain part of the film, which i wasn't aware of since Alex and Prince had both worked on it Thursday. So viewing the final film with the background sound was first time for me and i do agree on what the tutors had suggested as to do. Both Alex and Prince used a music, which did not suit with the film and will some how put off the viewers. So with that said we will work on it this week and it will be ready before the degree show. But the meeting on the other hand did go positively as we received very nice comments particularly Jared said as quote "your film is technically professional" this really made our group so confidence yet surprising and it really did make us smile and proud of our work as we walked home:D. So I like to thank Mike Smith, Jared Taylor and Dan Dalli for their wonderful comments and for their feedback and suggestion.

Individual Submission

Monday is the final submission deadline and i have everything prepared. I have three folders called Artist, Animation and Technical and in these three folders i have placed all the work i did for Glitch film. So tomorrow i shall submit my CD to Dan Dalli before 10:30am so i can be free!

I also like to thank the members of the group, which are Alex and Prince for taking me in their group and for their hard work. We as a group worked well together, we shared ideas and listen to one another and also we have every time meet mini deadlines that we have set for group and individually. Last of all i have enjoyed working with them and hoping to work with Alex and Prince in the near future.

Also like to thank Dan Dalli for giving his feedback and his suggestion on how to improve the film and made us really boosted with confidence due to his positive feedback.

Last of all i like to thank Robert Newman for his excellent sound effects, which really made the film come alive. He has made the sound so perfect as I and the group have imagine.

I believe that our film Glitch, personally is a unique film, which we have successfully translated the story to the audience as their been so many improvements, terms of changing the story, manage to add humour and add some mystery feeling to the viewers, which personally I and the group felt. Overall I am very proud of what we have produced for this film, the film has come out the way we have wanted because we have successfully improved the story in the terms of how, when and why method

• How - does virus form
• When - does the virus happen
• Why - does the virus happen

At first it was really hard to think about it and as a group we have come up with many ideas but wasn't that great to translate to the audience because it did not make sense. So i have gave the idea to the group of why not having certain object going inside the computer and creating a virus some how. Orb came to mind because it is different and wanted to make the story more interesting yet simple. Because i have manage to come up with the idea Alex and Prince have given me the huge task to take care of this scene. So looking now I personal think i have successful translated this term of how, when and why method and hoping that the viewers think that way.

Group Submission

Tomorrow is the group submission, we have prepared everything to submit and burned the final film into a CD to hand it in to our tutor tomorrow 19/06/09 :)

Sound Editing & Compositing Final Film

We have received the final sound from the Robert Newman(sound guy), which is unfinished but the sound effect is amazing. So we decided to finish off the sounds our self. So we went home that day and did the sound individually and meet up on Thursday 18th and compare what we did so we can choose, which one suits best. I did not come on Thursday due to family problems but i did do my version of the sounds, which i will upload here at the bottom, so from what i heard Prince couldn't find any sounds but Alex did, so we have used Alex's sounds. Whereas in the morning me an Alex came in that day but Prince was late, so me and Alex both worked with the ending background music of the film to the credits together and decided to have terminator theme music because it resembles our film "man vs the machine" and to add humour, below is what me and Alex have produced. Furthermore when i heard the music with the credits it made me emotional of the hard work me and the group put into as our name was on the screen :(



So finally we have finished the final film and ready to submit on Friday 19th and when we all saw it, we were very proud, excited and looking forward to the degree show.

Below are my sounds i did, which Robert(sound guy) missed out:

Virus Attack

Police Attack

Glitch Evil Laugh 01

Glitch Evil Laugh 02

Light On

Robot Voice

Error Alert

Error Voice

Computer Turn On Intro

Redo Final Storyboard & Anamatic

The film story has changed from the previous storyboard and anamatic we did, so the group has decided to redo them both. Below are my final storyboard and as for the anamatic i could not upload it as it was too big.

Glitch Film Logo Designs

The group decided that we should produce a logo for our Glitch film to promote the film that could be used in our posters or website. So below are my logo designs that i have produce to show to the group.

Glitch Film End Credits

So i have been given the role of producing the end credits of the Glitch film and have planned out the layout of the credits using trapcode form and particular on After Effects, which are the following:

• TITLE - Glitch BA Animation 2009
