我想,沖涼的時候可以看電視。
我想,洗碗的時候可以看電影。
我想,睡覺時可以聲控音樂的開關。
我更想,隨時隨地隨心地看和聽到自己想個知的事。
不用按掣,不用花時間去選擇,就是最快捷的方法。

some tips about design

我覺得咩叫做有心思去做design,好可能關個包裝事。
就好似一本書係米一定係一本呢?其實可以書中有書!
而每一頁係米一定要一樣呢?其實又唔一定,頁面可以有大有小!
書邊係米一定要整齊呢?其實可以起狗牙!

所以要識包裝!呢個係我D排最大的啟發!

開心小發現

今日我手洗我條褲,加左一硯粉後,有一秋的泡湧出,之後慢慢逐個爆。每一個泡都在反映我的臉,而我的臉一個個地隨著泡的爆破而消失。
可有暗示什麼?不知道。可能是夢想的破滅吧?
這情境放在ANIMATION應該蠻有趣~

A megaball drawing sends a convenience store spiraling out of control.

Great story.
- Flashback - it's out of my expectation. I thought the lady in the beginning will win the lottery but she's not. And at the end she came back again because she was a policewoman.
- Character - It's quite surprising that all ppl became villain to get the prize coz i thought the policeman must be a just man and the black man is victim. However, they kill each others and no one is the winner in the end. The plot is really out of my expectation.
- 1 single line - megaball - consistent story - to show that everyone is greedy and has a dark side.

Good shooting & cutting skills.
- The hand-held scenes help offer a exciting atmosphere.
- Beautiful shots - background and foreground is well-composed.
- Good cutting skills that the scene outside the convenience shop with a "band" sound is an good indirect way to describe someone is killed.

Funny cartoon


Fantastic video by Michiel ten Horn c.s.

I love this amusing cartoon~Love the characters, love the scenery, love the fudge style...
It's crazy but very creative.
That creature is somehow like a chicken, somehow like a potato...
He goes through many different places such as the sky, the cave, the ice land with lots of strange mouths and creatures behind moving their bodies with the music. The story is very creative that you never know what happen next but you will follow the character.
On the other hand, the music really help push the animation forward and make it energetic. So choosing a suitable background music with your presentation style is important.
Compared with the "Between Bear" before, it is evident that they are in different styles. One is full of mystery and straight line, another one is naught and illustration style.
I think sometimes good creation does not really relate to the social issue or hard experience. Instead, you can create something fun and cool like this short cartoon. Thus, both movies are excellent works no matter what directions.

It's another great short movie with high shooting skills.
It's a rider profile which shows the tough environment the rider face during his practice. 
The shooting skills is really outstanding. 
One of the reason is the topic helps a lot. Since the rider provides the outstanding cycling skills, for example, overhead turning with a bike, it really increases the excitement. 
With the slow motion and various views of angles, it is really eye-catching to audience.
Moreover, it used different views of angle. Close up like splashing the soil when the bike goes pass, pan with middle-shot like dipping his head when he meets a brunch covered with snow, bird-view of cycling through a desert helps describing the practice situation.
Furthermore, although there is not much really to tell, such a beautiful scenery, color and song is already worth to watch because it's a low-cost but high-quality production.

This is an excellent animation that has good story-telling skills and extraordinary aesthetic screen. 


1. Story
I was a bit confused on the first viewing but I understood more after watching few times. 
Some people were going ahead towards something initially. This leads us to follow the story to see what happen next.
The first idea come to mind is about environmental issue, esp. the melting ice in the polar. 
It is because there is a white bear laying down on an ice and floating on the sea and it seems died. Luckily, the white bear revived by the help of the butterfly. The first idea come to mind is about environmental issue, esp. the melting ice in the polar. In the beginning, the bear cut his fur. The reason behind is the increasing temperature makes the bear to cut it hair to cool down. This story maybe ask us to help bear to survive.
Although there may be misunderstanding about the story, I don't think this is a disadvantage. Meanwhile, it provides room for imagination.


2. Aesthetic
It is a beautiful 2D animation with harmony color tone which increases the mystery of story.
Moreover, the characters are special in sharp straight line while the scarf is blown softly make a contrast to the character. I guess the reason behind is to show tough-minded character.  Moreover, the skills of shooting and composition is excellent. Sense of movie is full of the screen. Combined the mysterious background music, the screens are visually-pleased.

Simple is always beautiful. I think my honour proj style can be like this, with simple characters, background and story. Making it abstract is another direction coz it increases the mystery and makes room for imagination. These two points i will bear in mind.
