WEEK 14:
Submission
EXECUTION (PHOTO ANIMATION) II
I started to continue adjusting my animation. Based on the feedback that Mr. Martin gave, Mr. Martin said to connect the cloud and castle together, so I'm adjusting both layers.
I also planned to add twinkling stars in the sky, I used this:

This is how it looked like:

I just remembered that AfterEffects can't read some settings that we've made in Photoshop, so, I changed the starry images into stars that I made using brush:

Thus, I started to finalize my project since it's the week of submission. For my animation, I added this soundtrack. It's a good song from Ghibli that made like a music box song:

Artist Statement:
"Nirvana. An ideal place where it doesn’t exist in reality; a place where one can feel peace without suffering."
With this “Self-Titled” Project, I want to represent myself, someone who really loves fiction, surreal things, with touches of dreamy and calming feeling combined with childishness traits.
Through this design, I want to present my feelings about my ideal world. Using contrasting elements (e.g. whale and airships) in one place, I want to describe the idea of freedom – where we can dream of anything that we wanted to be. Some elements (e.g. castle, cloud, stars) were used to represent the dream of a little girl, being a princess. I want to deliver the representation of the “princess” in my own Nirvana.
This is myself, someone who likes to dream about things and I’m the princess of my own world. I feel calm and peaceful when I’m in my world.
3. Google Slide Progression

FEEDBACK:
- General Feedback : n/a
- Specific Feedback : Already good, but the castle will be better if attached to the cloud. Overall good progression, good composition, well done!
REFLECTION:
Through this project, I learnt a lot; especially about AfterEffects. I was so blind when Mr. Martin taught me about AfterEffects at first, I have to rewatch the lecture and searched for some YouTube tutorials to catch up. Because of this project, I have learnt more skill for animating in AfterEffects. The key is to keep being curious and thirsty of knowledge.
