Anyway.
My individual presentation yesterday didn't turn out so good. I have stage fright, so do pardon me. Being quite unsure about my own ideas are most likely the factor of my stuttery and panic. I had to admit, just like Alvin had commented, my ideas were very similar. One's going into the world of MOI, while the other's popped out of an alternate world, but still gets led into MOI.
How very creative of me.
Which is why having teammates help tremendously. Having Hana's and Jocelyn's idea put together in the same pile of ideas under the same group helps a lot. Integrating the ideas would definitely come up with something original.
Just like rojak:
Now doesn't that make you hungry?
Though admittedly I am not a fan of the dish, I still think the Indian rojak is a very interesting dish; you mix what seems like randomly selected fruits and vegetables (some rojak have fruits, FYI) and mix them together yet put them under the same sauce and it becomes one dish. Quite similarly like how we came up with our idea today.
We met up rather early (Hana was late though) and we discussed - first sharing the full story of our two ideas and then choose which would be good to mix them together, and add more things to make it a group idea with improvement.
In the end, we mixed mine and Hana's, using mostly mine as a basis for the concept. You guys should be able to tell we're pretty animation-orientated, though I'm not so sure if the other two are going to animation. I have to apologise to Jocelyn though; we couldn't think of how we could integrate her idea into ours, as the storyline of her idea was too distant and strong independantly from our more documentary-based storyline. I hope Jocelyn would contribute a little more ideas in the future 'cause we definitely need it.
So, after a couple of hours of discussion, we have already came up with a pretty rough storyline that we'd be telling Amanda and asking her opinion about it tomorrow. Hopefully it would be a good response. As usual, my only worry is our process of doing it. Gotta rush rush rush.
I'll give a few hints to what our video might be like:
- definitely a mix of animation and video (duh)
- humor would be thrown in most definitely (everyone loves a few laughs, though it's hard to call me a humorous person so I'd pretty much have to rely on the other two on that...)
- look out for interaction between animation and live-footage!
- unusual camera angles, probably
Yeah, that's all I'm sharing - might be too much or too little, I don't really care since we're gonna be showcasing the video at the end of the module anyway.
Sorry for the rambling. I enjoy writing long posts with failed humor.
