IV-Here I pronounce...the "2MRD.inc"

2mrd.inc- a funky and fresh animation studio which focuses on creating short filmsfor an audience of all ages and cultures. This is accomplished by the creative ideas applied to our innotative stories to create films for everyone to enjoy.

Week 3&4 we were mainly focus into the winning pitches and formed a group of 4. Out of all winning pitches, I've joined Marc's pitch which is the dancing monkey.

Once our team got up together, each of us were mean to create some ideas for our company logo and name, and it was pretty struggling at first. For the end of the product, we have came out with "2mrd.inc" which stand for Marc,Micheal, Reck and Douglas. It sounds simple however it looks awesome with our final product!!

Here is some of my initial ideas for our company logo, but it just not good and unique enough compare to the final one!!

III-'D Rabyz' Concept Pitch

First assignment was the concept pitch. A storyboard were asked to create for short animation, and here is the synopsis of my pitch:

A bunny was in a classroom writing an open topic essay for his examination entitled "I want to be a superhero'. Upon writing his essay, he wondered what would happen if superheroes existed in the world. The next thing he knew, he fell asleep and dreamed into the very character he was writing in his essay. According to the sto0ry, this superhero had ridden the world of bad guys and evil and was hailed a hero to all. Being the hero that he was, he enjoyed the feeling of glory and being adored by all as the city's idol. Soon to be rudely swoken by his examiner Mr. Cow, he promptly realised that he hadn't begun to write his essay and he was on the lines of being out of time. Filled with anxiety Bunny tried to rethink of his dream that he had just experienced and attempted to transfer into his paper but after several moments, nothing could pop up into his mind! At the end of exam, Bunny's exam paper remained empty and got a solid egg for his test because of it. Bunny walked out the exam hall crying with pain and regret for there was nothing he could to do change the fact that he failed. Bunny then slowly walked out sobbing. changed his clothes and took off into the air to save the world. Whoever knew that Bunny is an actual superhero.

Here is my storyboard!Well, initially was hoping mine would get chosen since I have put lots of effort into it, but unfortunately it didn't been chosen!!SAD!!

II-Walk Cycle

This week is actually my first time playing around with Adobe Flash. Initially I thought drawing stick figures is something that everyone that can do it EASILY, but the outcome is sort of different than 'usual', which I feel my walk cycle seems RETARTED and UGLY!!lol..More practice need to be done or else I wont be able to catch up!! =.=

Guess this is the correct walk cycle that we mean to learn....Sigh....Seems hard to me tho.....=(

I-What a MISS!!

I missed out the first two important lessons. However my coursemate, Simon Kong taught me some basic stuff about the flash which is quite interesting, especially the animation. Although flash seems easy and fascinating, however more practice needs to be done. Can't wait for next week!!
