Animation short clip made (13th of November)

Group work with my mates in animation class in the morning was the highlight of the day. Everyone was standing on both sides as I walked in. The guy who was next to me asking if I was ready to take that group work challenge...I mean, let's just have fun. No stress here..

We started to move things around to form patterns whilst the teacher at the front capturing everything. To synchronise with the music it plays, we had to determine how strong an action would be dependent on the soundwave showed on the screen. Sharon suggested us to collaborate with each other because interaction could lead to more creativity. Right after she said it, we all started to move our items closer towards each other...

Towards the end of the class, Nelson and Carson purposely moved their items closer to mine to get my attention, I laughed at how out of nowhere they were when putting two cats and a basketball on the table...>.> After class, I headed to broadway with both of them to have lunch. Most of the time I was talking to Nelson but left Carson behind, he was sitting in the corner quietly two aquarius here talking about the zodiac and such after knowing our birthdays are only two days away from one another. He then showed me his muscular friend's selfies on his phone, and asking me if I wanted to know this person =3=

Nothing much special after lunch time. We two walked back to AIT as Carson said he had to get new earphones from JB hi fi. I sat with Nelson for a bit before he attended his class, then went to find a room to work on my own thingy. An hour later, he came to find me and we chatted a bit during his break. He went back, I went to find another room too because there would be a class there at 4ish. Bet Nelson really knew where I was, after he finished his first lesson, he appeared again in another room where I moved to. He thought that I would be waiting for him to head back to Central together, but I told him I had to finish my work first.

The third time I moved to another room, CO6 was around 5ish. I didn't get to have much time left to edit my music video, so I rather to leave it for tomorrow...

Finally made up our mind to pick which film we would be watching on Saturday. There wasn't that many choices for film fest this Saturday. It would be much better if we could go next Saturday, but there would be another two film fest happening in Newtown, and we didn't want to miss those.

Btw I spent my two hours making this animation short clip which lasts for 23 seconds. All I had to do was to capture the movements frame by frame. I repeatedly made minor changes of all the chosen elements and lastly, everything would be formed as a narrative. By playing back everything I've done so far in these two hours, I was proud of myself making my first ever animation clip, so I showed my parents and owner. Of course, there always will be some stories behind why and what I was making this for. I told them my animation is about this chemical reaction based on bigbang theory in which particle collision was formed, and the birth of the globe (ball in this case) was happening as a result of the first explosion. The ball is meant to represent the journey of the human development through this time machine represented by wires around.

I'm indeed really glad to take this course because I'm allowed to make my imagination to go wild during the whole process. :3
