Reflection
For Project 1, I improved my motion graphics skills by recreating animations and making my own based on design principles. Mr Fauzi’s advice, like using a consistent background colour, made my work look more polished. I also learned more After Effects techniques, which helped me create smoother and more dynamic animations. This project was a great experience to build my skills, try creative ideas, and gain confidence in motion graphics.

Thumbnail Storyboard Process of editing video I combined each frame in Photoshop After, I combined the animation. I try to find the music that is suitable to put in my animation. The music I picked is Fire (Instrumental) and Head Empty. Head Empty is put when the real world. Because it is light and cheerful music it is suitable to put in. Fire is a hot and rhythmic music that is suitable to put in when the battle scene which it's in the imagination. I edited the video in Cap Cut.  Final Video Reflection In Project 3, we worked on creating thumbnails, storyboards, and animatics based on our story from Proje...

We must draw a short bouncing ball animation using Adobe Animate. In week 2 class, we try to use Adobe Animate by creating a bouncing ball animation. In this class, we learn frame rate, timing & spacing, slow in & slow out, timing chart and arcs. First, we create 3 layers: ball, arc, and floor.  Fig 1.1 Layers Next, we draw the floor and the arc. Fig 1.2 The arc and the floor After that, we add the ball frame by frame.

Mr. Razif briefed our exercises and our projects. After a briefing session, Mr. Razif taught us the Parametric Equalizer function in Adobe Audition.  In the Parametric Equalizer, we can focus on adjusting the low, mid, and high frequencies to control our audio's overall balance and sound quality. 1. Low Frequency (Bass) Frequency range: 20Hz - 250Hz Controls: Deep sounds like drums, bass, and low-end noise. Adjust: Boost: Adds fullness and power to bass. Cut: Reduces muddiness and unwanted background noise. 2. Mid Frequency Frequency range: 250Hz - 4kHz Controls: The body of the sound, including vocals and instruments. Adjust: Boost: Brings out vo...
