AV Induction

In these two photographs I tend to take the first one in a low frame rate in order to make a blurred effect of people’s movement, and the second one in a high frame rate, to capture the frame during a fast movement.

What is presentation?

Presentation, is a communication of a journey, or a story, it offers opportunity to present ideas, thoughts, concepts and resolusions of a problem. It is constructive response, meaningful information. To do a presentation, is to choose an approprete language, and to know your audience. It should explain who you are, your role, what you are doing, how you got there or planning to get there, and in additional, the plan of mocong foward. Yet a presentation is not about the presenter, not about what the presenter sounds or look like.
A presentation should be prepared, essentially knowing the subject, to keep it simple, instead of using clip art, do the drawings and photos. It should not contains too much text, easpecially avoiding bullet points. It should be readble from 2.45 meters away. Cue card and notes on presentation software would help.

Photoshop Induction

During the session of the photoshop induction, I developed the skill of animating in photoshop, simply such as the slow interaction between the background and the foreground, in other to create the simple movements.

Photoshop Induction

Started with a bouncing ball, then added hands and feet. Apply the essential principle of animation of  squash and stretch to a bouncing ball, a digital form of the  bouncing ball flip book that have been done before. The procedure I used was using layers and convert them into frames in the animation clip timeline, which is a easy and straight forward way as all the layers is visible to ensure the volume and the movements of the object are correct while drawing.
