ohya

and the usual have some video too

oh whut ? name cards

yes name card designs for next week
as animation students i propose we all du flipbook style namecards
ohlol

besides that later today we're suppose to draw some
caricature for illus so we can join their ranks
can anyone still draw caricature ?

anyway, have some unofficial unfinished pixel78 theme song
v1

v2

whoop poop soup

well, there wasn't any meeting yesterday so nothing new

here's some relatively old videos


oh, a chinese animation

sleepy

mm, well, small marketing meeting,
proposals almost done, next week they
plan to start gettin some sponsors,

the galleries they'll target are
maps kl, sunway convention center, and pjlivearts
(toa gallery no need sponsor cos already suppose to be ours, haha)

besides that, there may be an audition for pixelman/ladypixel
along with actor pedestrians


oh, epic, such a big word


raymaaaaaan, although i'm one of those conservative ppl who thinks the 1st is the best

so apparently you should download this

an order by mr ho, lol

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2141551/dgforum/GRAD%20CAMPAIGN%20WEEKLY%20EVENTS-2.pdf

besides that, don't forget the talk on thursday at 2


i can't stop laughing but they have quite good planning and editings

oh, nice advertising

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3179855

oh and some not halal video

oh, i haven't even finished

posting all the callarts yet and now
there seems to be a flood of annecy stuffs

well puh

so anyway the logo is delayed again
it cant really open it to public though, else it'll drag
but they'll put up some previous works for them to decide
plus the progress works i think

so jon broke down the future weeks into certain categories
eco, arts and crafts, acg, taste, and pixel weeks
eco will have a lot of recycling
arts and crafts will have a lot of arts and crafts
acg will have a lot of anime comics and games
and pixel will have some pixel related stuffs
quite straightforward really

the viral marketing will start sometime soon
probably will take 10-14 days in all

there'll be one more garage sale this friday

oh, and there'll be that taksun talk next monday
so we'll only have at most 30 minutes for ourselves
and the week after that is our last monday class

oh, some toystory3 intromovie thing


oh cool


but not as cool as this, hahaha

hey ho, as you may know

mr ho wants to make 4 points

the graduation submission folder in 3dlab3 server
pass up demo reel and website portfolio
demo reel is default pal ( 768 x 576 )
and the weipeow options are either
3 pictures
2 pictures 1 5sec vid
1 picture 1 10sec vid
1 15sec vid
(pictures are in template thing)

i think g2 also combine cos our whole class
only 2 cd, demoreel and website
yiling and mr ho will help compile

oh whut, johnny depp is voicing a moveh ?


and some gobelans

sum the lum on mon

well, mostly it's just better start fundraising soon
and some reminder for tomorrow

bring your best works to narrow to top 3 by lecturers

there'll be a garage sale event on friday
so we need to donate each person 3 things
if cannot send to pjs on wednesday
then bring on tuesday and pass to class exec

and now some videos

why yes, more bp related stuffs


so cheesy

oh, and that mr ho thing, at 10

sum sum of sat sat

meeting at colonel sanders place
mmm, should do it again more often

anywho, the logo is almost finalized,
monday should be the day we present it to the class

marketing team has come up with some public events
which involves boxes, cds, complicating cameras and
possibly a power ranger act somewhere in the middle

one possible location for final exhibition
is MAP KL, i've no idea where that is

the people bidding system looks like it will be operational

oh yea, one type of fundraising will require recycling
so everyone don't throw away any newspapers or bottles or cans

finally, a simple credit system will be implemented
as long as everyone come and do some work on events
should be no problem

outside of that

next week will be the 5th week, on the 6th we all need
to pass up the weipeow thing, website and demoreel
you can still get the weipeow thing here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/845954/dg_078.psd

mr ho is thinking of everyone bringing their best work
on tuesday, seems everyone should be coming to school,
and getting the lecturers approval there and then,
select the best 3 pictures or videos and submit to peowpeow,
wait, well, sumbit to us first so we can
compile the cd/dvd so we can pass to sra

kay then, here's some weird mario thingamiebob

summary of saturday

nothing much really, some of the major things
can't be done till the art direction is settled

treasurers decided on just public bank

dtp managed to get a few information on the prints

marketing has come up with a potentially great outline
they say it can even be possibly be applied to any
of the art direction

daniel seems to be on the art team

pr has some oh exciting events for this monday

oh ya,stephen did mention that this monday there
maybe some people coming in to give some talks,
if he can't get them, we will have more time
for ourselves la

plus there seems to be some sentence
typed in my notes page
"Sofia has established herself as sprawesome kthxbai"
hmmm ...

here's some more repeated calarts

so this saturday

there's no class
but for board people (or bored people)
there's meeting 1-330 at f3

some calarts


and oh snoopy

wei peow template

got from mr ho
the one we need to pass up around week 6
download download
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/845954/dg_078.psd

lydia says

there's only 109 people
puh

summary of monday

that guy from class, whatshisname
his email is weipeow@toa.edu.my in case you missed it
cos he very fast show only
submit edited psd along with jpeg or vid and title it eg mm05_name

- meeting -
additional ideas for theme has been put out
145% (we all give 100% plus more, also represents number of students)
1+1=2 (something about communication + design, i wasn't paying attention)
Genesis78 (origin of everything, beginning of batch78,
do something that has not been done before)
Area78 (dangerously creative, "we are all freaks" and need to be contained)
Supernova (each of us are little stars,
we gather for this grad thing to make an explosive event)
Chromosome78 (it's like we all have some extra stuff in our dna)
Team Theme (you know, work together and stuff)

7 in total, i think there'll be a poll on the forum
can go vote and everything must be decided by monday next week
all themes must be easy to explain, simple and catchy said marketing dept

fundraising starts now, or soon
rm500 put up a show, rm5 also put up a show

actually we may not have 145 ppl could only be 120

treasurers settle bank by saturday
art team think of potential logo design
copyrighters help with themes
dtp get sponsors from paper print dealers
paper samples prices anything notify marketing team

jon says
may june planning
july aug execution

stephen says
manpower important
who is on duty during events
Pr an event management need to know
who is free at what time
no point exciting over an event if nobody wants to help

besides that, it's been said that dg ppl would not
give full effort for this grad campaign
i think, try to prove them wrong la

and lastly, that phrase stephen always say
that kill your baby thing
he got from some belgium artist i think
his name was jan fabre

and i'll be reposting the calarts videos
just in case you all missed some

puh

summary of saturday meeting

motto or theme
"taking risks for success"
"dangerously creative, area 78"

mission or objective
unite batch and have fun

they've decided to have the exhibition outside
and not in the one gallery, puh
reasoning is that there's a lot of works to show
(i would have said something but the decision was
made before we came in)

fundraising ideas
carnival day (which includes some video game contest,
guessing jar, card game, bidding on people and etc)
some photo contest
freelancing
movie night
yea

forum looks a bit done

looks like it is this one

http://batch78.motionforum.net/
it's still under construction though

recap

(if you read emails, there are some repeat of info)

everyone - "ideas on how to get moneh"
pass it to any of the members of the board committee

saturday - there'll be some meeting of the boards
(jon said either 130pm sat, 8pm sat or 2pm sun)
(dg ppl can come late if 130pm)
the rest of the ppl can continue sleeping or classing

last tuesday stephen had a meeting with jon and i (sofia was sick)
(i believe we all have the right to know what's going on)
so basically here are the points :

1, pr and event management division can have 5 more extra ppl
(they can elect them themselves but at least 1 from Interior Design)

2, photography division can have 3 more ppl

3, marketing division can also but not so important

4, we must set up some website (forum) where all can gather gather
most preferably MM ppl, or website team do wan
(zafri suggests when we register for the forum we must use our names and class)
(eg zafri_ad, jon_il)
when the forum goes online i'll post the link on the blog

5, by next week monday we must have a solid art direction and logo
along with rational, mission objective

6, he stress some more on art direction must be quick
can have one or more

7, marketing proposal sent to stephen so he can print letterhead

8, a schedule outlining the remaining weeks
we have about 8 weeks from now

oh totally forgot

welcome back to school, hahaha, last sem everyone
(what's with all this president thing)

bbq at 7 you say

BBQ~

i was told that there is a BBQ at yutoshi's on the 21st April(Wed) and of course we have to chip in to buy food, everybody in DG078 is invited. As for how much we have to chip in would RM10 be enough?

Please comfirm by monday and give a reply so we can know how many people is going.

future life will be a game

it's a point (pun slightly intended) frequently brought up
where everything we do is similar to an xbox 'achievement point'

some annoying bean dogs

yeenee called me

this applies for g1 only
she said she has important meeting on wednesday
so the presentation is postponed to thursday
thursday 4-6 that is
like 3 hour gap between class

so i kinda need you all to say if you prefer class at 2 or 4
oh, and how was zbrush ?

oh, new youtube layout

what if mary poppins was a bone chilling horror movie ?



would that subsequently make the 1980 psychological horror
the shining a happy family movie ?
you know, the movie with the scene where jack smashes
the door to his wifes and sons room with a fire axe,
proceeds to stick his head in and says "heeeeeere's johnny"

Hi DG078-1 Group 1,

Attached are those selected students that required to do presentation on week 12.
On top of that, I would like to send you details regarding to the submission (on week 13 the latest). Please refer to the following:

CD
- website root folder: consists of all of the web documents, images, artworks, media files, resume (.pdf and .jpg[optional]), etc.
- raw files folder: consists of all of the raw files related to the slicing of web design, and resume design (.psd, .ai, .docx, etc.)
- references folder: consists of resources and references that obtained during research and development (files, images, online URL, etc.) as credits for the resources
- readme file: if there is any notes you would like to highlight.

Workbook
- should have started with brief elaboration of the concept and or the theme chosen (e.g. the rationale of it)
- should have documented the whole progress of the research, design, and development for the portfolio website
- should have added with screenshots or thumbnails of websites (with URL provided) that had inspired you
- should have added with images that had inspired you
- should have added with sketches of the website design, one version or more than one versions, as well as the general site structure or grid system
- should have added with a few screenshots of final design of your portfolio website
- should have included brief descriptions and reflections throughout the whole progress

P.S: The content of workbook is not evaluated based on the quantity, but the quality. It doesn’t need to be very lengthy. The important thing is clarity of the research, design, and development progress.

And for the coming two weeks (week 12 and week 13), it is gonna be your show time. So get ready for the presentation. Everyone has to attend the session as support to your classmates though you are not presenting on that day. Those presenters do make sure you look smart during your presentation day with proper attire.
Be confident and good luck.

Sincerely,
yennee

she probably said a similar thing for group 2 also

whoa, she sent 3 times

well, it's actually all different but still same,
so hardworking, here's what she sent :

Hi DG078-1 Group 1,

I would like to inform about the cancelation of class on next week (3 Feb 2010) since I will be on sick leave for one week. Replacement class will be held on week 8 exploration week. So the next class will be on 10 Feb 2010, Monday.

For the second weekly evaluation on the week after next week (10 Feb 2010), basically you all have to improve and further develop your portfolio website based on the comments and feedbacks given from us (me and tutor) during the first weekly evaluation. For those who did not turn up for the first weekly evaluation, there will be no replacement anymore and you will get zero marks.

So for next round, basically you need to provide the following:
- propose new idea or refine the current idea (if you are advised to do so)
- continue doing research and to document every progress as well as development on workbook (e.g. references of websites, books, graphics, animations, navigation design, etc.)
- provide brief descriptions on workbook to explain on the research you have done (e.g. as in how those resources inspire you, etc.)
- provide more in depth or detail sketches that are able to show your proposed interface designs, layout designs, and navigation designs
- site map can be produced as well in order to show the overview of the website structure and hierarchy
- do think about the colors schemes of the site (e.g. you may design digital layout of your web pages using Illustrator and/or Photoshop)

See you all then. Have fun working with your portfolio website.

Cheers,
yennee

plus she added a supposedly updated version of the 3 lesson 4 files in th first mail
she sent to everyone so can download from your mail

todays marketing notes

the one in class

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/845954/2009%2010%2022%20marketing%20note.rtf

in case anyone was wondering

the editing and compositing class there's no like

weekly assignments need to pass up only the really really

final one which the lecturer placed a folder in the server

but anytime you can show him your work and he'll give critique

well nvm

heard news there's none of that

2-4 friday thing, so no need to come

well ok

now vincent wants the representative

thing next week and to remind him that

g2 has a class before his

this friday some of you may have heard

there's going to be a video camera

'how to use session' at 2-4 which yongkang

said he'll tell us where but hasn't yet

we're waiting on pohhui to remind him

on where the location will be

i have received information

that this fridays class,

that show movie and presentation one,

is 930 at J3 ah,

but everyone come early to transfer files

to the class computer,

oh and vincent said one representative of

every group come early next week to gamble

for a place in the A1 A2 place thing

daaah

it's a big file

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/845954/Biz%20and%20Client%20Mgmt%2008.zip

for business

well i was a bit confused when vincent guy

changed the thai restaurant thing into something

more general, but i think it's a bit better cos not

everyone can cook nyonya and or thai

anyway the files from the lecture i'll post tomorrow

cos i only got half of them from ben now

or is it later today

in case some are not clear

on what to do next week animation

important one is sack must be finished

fully rigged and textured and stuff like that

i think

then some animation tests

like running and jumping

du one or more

then maybe 10% blocking for final animation

and optional are

more refined pose sheet and that playblast

thing if haven't pass up today

i was told

for visual storytelling class

monday (5/10) done storyboard and book

friday (9/10) finish the short film

can start shooting film anytime

friday (2/10) no class cos the replacement is on 9

so fast have to finish the movie

extra class

you know, that optional one which

you don't have to go and intended

only for those who have trouble in

class

yea, it's on saturday 4-6pm

after group2 class in 3d dglab 1

if saturday is not a good time

can always change next week orso

so kevin said

he wants to have an OPTIONAL extra class

for weeks that the lecture is too hard and

wants to know when we prefer to have it

he's free whole day monday, friday and saturday

there is no

business class tomorrow

so next weeks assignment

just 3 things :

one

animated storyboard timing

pal, 25 f/ps, 768x576 square pixel ratio

two

sack turnaround

with texture and wireframe

same setting as above

three

sack keyposes

on a4 or something

like a4 size jpeg

digital

not paper

or something

yea

what she said

Friday replacement class for Visualstory Telling

Replacement class will be held at J3, same time as monday, said yong kang

the adventures of priscilla

i thought it was a nice movie

cos

the beginning was funny

anyway, got homework for that

they want an essay on why you think

the movie was good and i think they

want to hear the technical side more

so the essay is somewhere around one

a4 page, nothing too long

oh, and friday replacement class for

last week monday

same time same place

be there be square

thanks mr symph

anyway, so i hear there's going to be class on

monday (14) instead of monday (28) as the schedule says

bummer i say

but pass around the info to those who don't know

animation storyboard

kevin wants to have a unified storyboard layout
for the proper animation storyboard we start
doing on week 2 and show on week 3
i propose we use this layout

http://dg078-1.googlegroups.com/web/2009+09+16+animation+storyboard.jpg?gda=1nOqgFYAAACKPVJzkUhXF5-QDzTzVtAGbnGzFgQBK0Y0F_nmUh__Oh5X9cgbNFzsKh1LxWbCkVNHr-VXx3CLTyqbYCY7JyibWSRz-Detb09CwKfN2BgOPBPhGuxsWDLdLep2NLleRSE&gsc=mWixvwsAAABFCqD1L8kuxjfvRMQCwkYV
