Reference
Before we started learning about stop-motion animation, we were asked to find  3 favorite ones and talk about why we like it.
.
Fig 1.1, Clay Boy Compilation
There's not much to explain, cute and funny video. Just really like the effort the creator make this character and very good stop-motion animation which can make me laugh for a while.

Fig 1.2,  Lost & Found | Oscar Shortlisted Stop-Motion Animation
I really felt the existential crisis, bliss, and ascension he was experiencing while his last bit of being was unraveling mid-flight to save his love. These kinds of short animations always make me feel like there should be some happy ending in the end, but all I get in the end is just an onion.

Fig 1.3,  Fresh Guacamole by PES
I remember first seeing this a few years ago when I was in middle school and thinking the animation was so cool, but now I'm rewatching it as an adult and seeing so much more unsettling symbolism that really speaks volumes in Current Year.

Stop Motion Animation
After we had an idea and tried to make stop-motion animation in class, I already had some ideas about making stop-motion animation.

So in my plan, I always like Spaghetti Western, this kind of heroic film that depicts the wild times of the American West and Mexico and has subverted the heroic image of traditional movies, forming a unique violent aesthetic type.

Proposal:

Work on and Editing:

So I spend quite a lot of time drawing all the material I need and cutting it out, and when ready I start do the shooting.

There is no picture when shooting because when I shoot for my stop motion, I use my phone for the whole shoot.

Final Outcome

Reflections

This project is really fun and challenging for me. I don't really have a stable hand to make my stop-motion animation look stable. I also spent quite a lot of time getting all the material and drawing I needed even until I was a bit rushed on the shooting. I feel like my animation can make me better if having more time. Overall, the experience in making and shooting stop-motion animation is really fun.

Instructions 2. Reflections Instructions Exercise 1: Quantifiable Information Exercise 1: Quantifiable Information (10%) - Quantify raw data and visualize information as a photograph - Visual representation of numerical data that allows for easy interpretation and analysis. Instruction: Gather a set of objects and separate it into category such as color, shape, pattern, and other quantifiable factor. Example: 1. Box of Lego 2. Jar of button 3. Jar of marble ball 4. Set of colourful rubber strap & more. In this exercise you're required to quantify our chosen objects and arrange them into a presentable layout or chart. The information must be presented as is, and you need to arrange the objects with relevant indicators written out with pens to help you to visualize the quantity and data. T...

Feedbacks 3. Reflections Instructions [ FigJam Board ] Task 1: Proposal Development For the requirement, we need to work as groups in presenting an innovative concept that introduces unique social, cultural and/or economic value to the intended target audience within your chosen field of specialization. We also need to  conduct research on current technology and design trends that influences and benchmarks our area of specialization. Case studies with analysis reports on product/service functionality and effectiveness, technical innovations and challenges, aesthetics and design appreciation are required to support your new project proposal. The project must address the ‘gap’ where you have discovered and realized ideas and solutions that creates and captures value in a novel way. For our ...

Instructions 2. Feedbacks 3. Reflections Instructions For Task 1, we need to doing a self reflection for our works in Application Design 1. By the design suggestion, I will do step-by-step accessibility review across the flow and do a structured feedback based on layout and interaction.  Screen 1: Splash / Welcome Screen Fig, 1.1, Welcome Page [before and after] For Design Suggestion: Add a semi-transparent overlay behind the text buttons to ensure consistent readability against the image background. Increase touch target spacing between "Log In or Sign Up" and "Continue as Guest" to prevent accidental taps. For  Structured Feedback: Clarity : Visually appealing but readability is at risk due to image background. I nteraction : B...
