Robortz Propagand

It has been a long since last time I work on an animation project
However, wanna make it clear here.
I and my group mate Gogosilly wrote the script for this piece and the animation is done by Xtranormal. What a super online program~~!

This is an edutainment piece that we did for introducing the idea of Propaganda
It will definitely make you laugh for times~~

TVCs @ Capa Adv 2010Summer

These are the TVCs that I had taken part in when I was working at Capa Advertising

They were mainly played on RoadShow on the bus.

The first three videos are done for Ca-C. In this project, I did whole job on the pre-production, such as the storyboard, the design of the chat-room background, the little icons, the Ca-C characters, casting the models and animating the 3D tablet.

Then also I followed the whole process of the production and post-production with my colleagues. From screening to dubbing to publishing, I had been learned a lot and a lot!

 

The following one is the first TVC project that in my career. Similarly, done the storyboards, cast the model and believe it or not, I composed a bit as well~ Although it was just the few-keyboard notes at the beginning, this project really gave me a good start for understanding how TVC is produced in the real industry. (This is the whole version with all the animation that I made, it's a bit sad that some of  the animation was taken out, anyway, this's reality~~ Let me show it here la~~)

 

The last one is the TVC that I was just responsible for the post-production. Choosing the right shots was really a challenge~ And it's also fun to do the animation for the flying bottles~~

[Illustration] IronBird - promo poster 01

This is Animia from "IronBird" illustrated in the army school suit. Although there is a new design of the suit, anyway I would like to let it be the first promo poster for my animaiton piece which will be done this October ^^

To learn more about the story of IronBird (my self-directed, animated narrative) and watch the animatic of the intro animation, please refer to the previous post.

Cheers!!

[Animation] IronBird - Intro animation (animatic)

IronBird is the story that I wrote as an animation series program for TV with about 50 episode.

Plot of the story:

This story took place in a world which magic and science co-exists with each other. The magic in this world is the ability of people to sense the flow of the air particles (AF -air factors) and control them to do many kinds of things , such as light up fire in the air and fly!!!

And IronBird is the flying machine invented according to this magical power by a prince and a princess from two nations which are next to each other.

IronBird helped to imrpove two nations' economy and people's lives. It one of the triggers of the war.

The war lasted for 30 years. Our story starts 20 years after the wars ended. Animia, our protagonist was a 15-year-old girl whose dream is to be the top IB pilot of the world. She trained herself hard on flying skills and finally got the entry to the Nation Army school and trained as a pilot solider.

There she would meet her three teammates. From strangers, to friends and from friends, they became the most-trusted- partners after missions, adventures and challenges.

However, after the light of happiness, Animia didn't know that she was already put into the centre of a trape!

"A wounded swan will transform into a crow."

The finish OP animation will be released in October this year, see you then ^^

[Animation] IronBird - Animia test animation

This is the test animation of Animia, the protagonist of IronBird, showing her fighting action.

This test is done frame by frame in pencil drawing then timing time in AffterEffects.
As same as I said before in old posts, frame by frame animation is just sooooo fun!!!!

[Animation] Sk8er Boi animated mtv (PV)

After showing all the characters in illustration, I would like to present you the animation piece.

H.M.Remi's Animated Sk8er Boi MTV (PV) is a self direction project of one of my subjects. Avril Lavigne's Sk8er Boi has been my beloved song since I was in junior high. Yet, back then I didn't wholely understand the lyrics (English is not my first language) and the meaning behind the story (was too young~~~). However, I like the rhythm and the story I hardly understood in the song. Therefore, I have been hoping to visulize this story story through animation for a long long time!!! The thing was that I didn't have the skill......

But now, I have the skill and I can do it!! Yeah!!! I am really a dream executant XD!!!!! I researched on youtube and discovered that there have been already many people animated the story which made me feel a bit frustrated for a moment (I wanted to be originally and the first one to do that!!) But I understood that if I let this chance go, I may not have another to make this dream which last for 7 years come true. So, in order to make it more original, I decided to apply the traditional Chinese painting style as the style of my piece and give the characters new personalities which would be more Asian (I target this MTV to be broadcasted in Asia, e.g. Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, China and South-east Asia).

To understand the Sk8er Boi's characters more, please refer to the former posts. Hope you enjoy it ^^

[Animation] "WEN"

Finally, it's here now~~~

"WEN" is a frame by frame animation. As my own pc died before I went into the animation process, I had to draw all the frames by hands (I don't remember how many papers I have used). Then, borrowed my friend's computer to paint the frames in photoshop so that the clouds still look like what I planned them to be. Thank you! My friend!!

And then after painting, is to put them into the right timming with the music in affectEffects.

Special effects were added in this stage as well~~~ Enjoy~~

[Animation] "WEN" test animations01-04

Heeee...... I will tell you what they for later~~~ (unless you have read the posts above ^^)

These are frame by frame animation tests. Frame by frame animation is just BRAVO!!!!!

[Animation] 3D lips animation

My first try of animating a 3D character to talk last year.

It was so enjoying to making it talk, just like I was giving live to her!!!

The character is downloaded from a 3D animation education website: http://www.highend3d.com

Go and have a look there if you are also interested in 3D animating, there are many tutorials and also forum to sharing animating experiences. ^^

[Exhibition] Class Mini Exhibition 2009

photo: Venus Tse

"Fetus" is the theme of this exhibition. To hold this exhibiton, I think is like a rehearsal for us to create the big exhibition at the end of this year, our Graduation Exhibition!!!

Rather than showing our animaiton pieces, our task was to design the space with projections. Having just 1 week to set it up, it was really a unforgettable memory!!

The following is the animation I did as part of the screenig in the space, of course it is related to the theme~~~ I named it "Truth of Frogs" ^^

[Animation] Puppeteer

This is embarrassing to watch back xD!!!!

This is my first animation done in afterEffects and the first time I really used photoshop to paint in spring this year........

Look at the creepy photoshop line and colors I did!!!! ROAR!!!!!
I was so concfident about it when I just finished it, but now......

Anyway, human have to face their own past!!! I must be brave to face it!

ANYWAY!!! I still love the story and the message it evokes.

Puppeteer is a story about how the remaining humans live after the world ended because of the fatal pollutions human made.

What or who is the PUPPETEER? Can you get it in the animation? ^^

[Animation] This is Joy-HongKong (motion graphic)

I missssssss Hong Kong so much!!!!!

This is another motion graphic exercise, hope you like it~~~~ Hope you will like Hong Kong as well ^^

[Animation] Die for Oil Sucker (motion graphic)

Actually, this is a piece of motion graphic rather than an animation, anyway, just let me put this into the animation category in this blog~~

Basically, I am not a person who like making ironic art for politic....

Anyway, again this was a class exercise, sooo, you can't say no to your tutor about the project , right? ^^

So here you are, using motion graphic to visualize Jello Biafra's Die for Oil Suck soundtrack. The part that I had in this piece is just a part of his whole piece. If you are interested about his protest about the politics in the US, just goggle it, you will find a lot of his info.

All the symbols in the motion graphic are designed by me with illustrator and photoshop, then I animated them in aftterEffects ^^

[Animation] Magical Partners (3D)

Magical Partners are the first 3D animation I did from modeling, rendering, building skeleton for it and then animate it, a lot of fun, just love animating bouncing objects XD
Enjoy!
