Memorable Advices

Yesterday was my motion graphics presentation for MTV + me... and it is a pleasure that they have invited Joey Khor from Hue Visual Lab to give us comments..instead of giving subjective things and stuffs.. basically it is wat provide the industry fulfillment and requirements.

Eventually i know mine work isn't that convincing at all... so i'll just go for it and explain and finish everything.. so when he comments.. feel bit bad from wat i heard from him..which he says it looks more like an motion advertisement rather than a piece of real motion graphic..or mayb because it's in a linear way of doing it, so it is kind of not interesting..

I have bit of cooldown for couple of hours and i'm ok with that, cause previously i never learn properly in the tools i'm suppose to be and now i receive my own penalty..erm well i deserve it and once i managed on the tools..time for execution is a bit less..but so far i'm happy with the outcome although it runs from my concept a little bit.. it fulfills the skills technique and most of the methods and principles in motion graphics.

Soon after that Joey gave a small talk and sharing on the industry needs and what motion is much more about... i was deeply encourage by his sharing because he knows what we are doing and how we are going through, and that everyone has his own time of difficulties and tough times, he mentioned that no one is starting with perfect, and yet a good motiongrapher not only uses After Effects tools, but he/she knows how to bring out a value of something, when a project is being done through motion, and in that not many people can do so. Eventually we were reminded on not to have a thought of being too fresh and newbie, so we ignore the projects and trial-outs.. because for him every piece is a new work, and must be done properly, in studying what your client wants and how to bring the project's value out.. we are designers, not artistic people, we do commercial things, but not free stuffs.. So that was kind of encouraging me.. He do mention that those who can succeed well are those who have experienced failures and managed to learn and re-capture everything again.. so that boost up my level of encouragement again..xD

While Joey left, Joanne mention a few different stuffs again.. the real place for us to learn is to be outside the college, where it is a bundle of new professional stuffs. A big sentence which is to screw up the $$$ when we work, cause if u go more than it, you can't work well! that is how every freshgrades of designers thought... Value comes first, then only money comes after you..

Finally, i was hoping that this term's results wouldn't be dropping till i got a D... cause i do feel that this term i din learn as much as i can from group works..but few negative points.. delaying, postponing, grumbling, ignoring...etc... I just think how am i going to continue to the next few terms?if some of the group works are still unavoidable? and you might have to meet up with the same group members? if there's no choice? People tend to ask me wat happen to me in this term, and frankly speaking..i don have what it takes to show my parents, those who are close to me, and especially God what have i did on my artwork..
before each refinements of work i can say it is totally like a shit work.. imagining i have 1 deadline in 2 days and we haven have a final layout from fresh oven yet! Cool right? either fail it by means..or pass with regrets...so still a deadline coming in.. a big thanks again to joanne for the advices in changing to a more better ones, and thanks for giving few days more to submit.. thank God for everything even though sometimes things tend not going really well, screwing up part of my life sometimes.. this term has never been easy for me, and not gonna let this happen again..cause it's like "hexx"...

A decision has been made for my next term elective subjects.... 3d for multimedia design + advanced motion graphic (=.= grp work again). This 3 weeks holiday, gonna brush up my skills in all these time-based media.. learn all the skills online, study some design values and make sure i get everything prepared for my portfolio and internship period next term, may the lord has his grace to be on me to be able to do so, and as i uphold everything to him, let his will be done.
