Hey guys, Alvin check'in! A new Academic Year 08/09 has just started and I am a Senior already... time really flies when we are having fun.

From the previous posts, Alastair and Raymond have shared their views on what have we done and what will you be doing. There might be some changes to the teaching plan but I guess overall its all about the same. Oh, you guys are very lucky to be able to use the new computers for your 3D lessons. We encountered some problems on the older computers as the specs were at the minimum. Since you guys are first to use those new computers, be sure to take care of them and keep the labs clean!

Last semester, we, the 3D students were given 2 assignments to submit for 3D Special Effects. The subject is about using Adobe After Effects and Autodesk MAYA to create effects to enhance an advert or your very own demoreel. A demoreel is basically a visual media portfolio to impress your client or boss more effectively. Alastair has posted his demoreel in his post. Anyway, I have uploaded my Assignment 1 for you guys to take a look and also to promote ONESingapore at the same time. I used Typography and Poverty as my concept with reference from ONE Website. Voices are contributed by my friends. Ms Cherry and Ms Natasha also lent their voices into this ad.



Anyway, for the other 2 specialisations Distributed Multimedia and Edumatics, I think I will leave it to the guys from there to talk about it. In the mean time, ciao!
