Our lecturer, Ms Faridah, welcomed the students and gave them highlight of the wonders of what the Diploma in Interactive Media Informatics can offer to potential students. She then demonstrated student projects which utilised current sophisticated technology such as Maya, Flash, Adobe Photoshop and After Effects.
Students were then treated to an exciting hands-on activitiy on how to edit photos using Adobe Photoshop. Junior IMI student Nicholas Leong who was from Greenview Secondary had the opportunity to demonstrate his skills he had learnt from IMI by teaching our potential students how to use selected features of Photoshop to edit photos of celebrity Justin Bieber and Rihanna which include changing the hair, eye colours and manipulate their facial features.
The session ended on a positive note with interesting sharing sessions of IMI students' (Freshies, Junior and Senior) experiences in the course who were also the helpers for this session. Our guest students from Greenview listened attentively with sparkles in their eyes as our IMI students shared what they feel about IMI and why they joined IMI. One of the students said that he had joined IMI because he wanted to explore into the depths of how animation comes about and all the wonders of the internet technology in existence. Indeed this was the best part of the event which is most memorable and heartfelt moment for all present.
Below are the quotations from the students who shared their wonderful and meaningul IMI experiences:
"The reason why I joined this course is because I am interested in 3D animation and learning how to make wonderful effects. So currently I learned how to make websites and create my own self-promotional kit." said Fauzan Khan, IMI Freshman.
"I join IMI because i was interested in learning 3D. Maybe in the future with the skills I acquire from this course, I plan to join Lucasfilm or Pixar." Nicholas Leong, IMI Junior student.
Below are the photos which we had taken on this event:
