我看過了polyU 和 dgc grad show 之後,
真的是有分別。
poly:
一、作品真係做得好fine。
不管主題是好或壞,最低限度應該係3C: complete, clean and clear.
這樣看的人才會明白你個msg,亦給人一種professional 的感覺。
二、exhibition 的佈置
不要浪費空間。
太過迫或空洞是不能接受。
太空,可加一些大型海報或裝置。
太迫,可減些裝置。
三、website 係有心思, 亦有大肆在fb/search engine 做宣傳。
不要做一張jpg 放在web 當係整左個website, 很沒動感和草草了事。
今時今曰,誰不會上網check 幾時開show? 所以網站是十分重要去promote student's works.
dgc:
一、souvenir 有心思。
這是王牌,即是最impression.
每年都做得不錯, 而且有各重各樣的souvenir 令人覺得不吝X。
希望下年大家會吸取經驗,做得更好!

freelance 的檢討
一個Freelance, 可以把我做到忙個不停。由十一月到二月尾,從不間斷的電郵、繁繁複複的修改、接完個又一個的電話,統統佔據了我的寶貴時間。
當中有可笑的,有可惡的,有可喜的,有可悲的,全到要一一記下來,好讓我將來回味這份「辛酸」。(其實不是那麼辛苦啦~)
一。可笑的
二千的收入又入又出﹣原本不應該我落訂,但時間關係,都係我出住先~
網上check color 係唔得ga!因為會轉左做RGB!
二。可惡的
之前又話冇野改,proofread 左勁多次都仲有野改!唔到最後都唔話人聽!
點解D 老細成日都揾唔到==
三。可喜的
有利是收gua?
ricky真係對我呢挺新手幾好,又俾紙版我睇,又不停幫我搵D平的printing company~
我真的被他的誠意打動了。
加上佢知我第一次print booklet,教我關於紙的特性,又幫我整埋die-cut, 排版,又教我要做MARK UP,又話會俾freelance 我做,我今次真係出路遇貴人啦。
四。可悲的
有幾晚通頂==多了黑眼圈。
太多寶貴的時間浪費了。==俾番D青春我呀。。。
今次問題多得很,由其事溝通方面。
1. Kipling 應該編緝好所有資料,包括proofread所有英文grammar, 用字(原來單位數字應該用英文字表達,雙位數要用阿拉伯數目字去表達,另外最好全都用全寫,例如Fr. --> Father), 這樣我作為designer 就不用做過多editor 的工作。
2. 大老細成日失蹤,搞到個design dum 來dum 去。
3. 我應該要成日打電話去吹人地做野,因為每日的office hour真係很快過去。
Printing problem:
1. CYMK
一定要記得將所有圖轉做CYMK,否則會有色差。
2. Create Outline
小心地check 晒所有字係created outline.
3. Bleeding, registration marks
4. 用Ai 會好D,方便整film
5. 如果用騎馬釘,頁數一定係4的倍數。
6. PRINT DUMMY!!!
一定要整個DUMMY俾印刷廠做較對!否則就有咩錯漏你負責。
7. 搞清楚紙質,而紙質通常有3種:光粉紙,啞粉紙,書紙,"saturation rate is in decending order".
Printing company:
1. 記得mark up!
Design 本身唔包printing, 如果要print, 一定要個客俾錢!
2. printing 前一定要問清楚個客有咩要改,最好叫佢print 個dummy 出黎做較對。時不時要用加錢、或印唔“CHI“嚇佢唔好再改,因為會煩到printing company 同自己。
3. 搵相熟的會比較放心,有時仲可以話埋俾你聽個job 可以收幾錢。
總之以後我每次做booklet/printing 之前都會看這篇文一次。

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~

Your Lucky Day from Dan on Vimeo.
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.

Excellent Motion Graphic
WIRED Design Conference Title
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/wiredbiz2010/
Movie:Takuya Hosogane
http://www.hsgn.tk
Music:Taoka Takashi
http://web.me.com/digitaltaokatakashi/digitaltaokatakshi/digitaltaokatakashi%40mac.com.html
Agency:BOW
http://b-o-w.jp/#
Tools:AfterEffects Cinema 4D
It is an excellent motion graphic. I love it! It's very cool.
Sounds effect and the animation is excellently matched.
Initially, the "attention" sound is repeated from high to low volume while the graphic changes from large to small with fluctuated lines. It's a cool opening coz it attracts people's eyes and ears at the same time. Then, it amplifies the "attention" sound and adds more electric sounds followed by the vivid vector graphics. The creator added many interesting scientific elements into this short motion graphic like statistic graphics (pie chart, line chart, bar chart...) to present "disruptive" feeling. In addition, the flashing frames really constitute the disruptive, scientific atmosphere.
Such presentation skills is visually-shocked and really impressive.
After watching it, I realize that beatifying the design is very important coz people will judge it by the first impression, no matter what the story/idea is. Thus, high presentation skills help a lot with the idea.
