3. WEEK 12: Execution & Post Production
3. WEEK 12: Execution & Post Production
After creating 3 different compositions for my digital poster, I decided to continue work on the last one. This poster is more into my soul as it titled as “A Conversation with the Stars”. I talk to the stars when I don’t know who to talk to, and sometimes I feel like no one can understands me more like they do. I used to have someone really close to me who was as excited as I am with the stars, we used to watch the stars together and just sit and talk for hours. The stars have been the silent witnesses of my journey and I feel so connected.
4. WEEK 13: Animation & Finishing
4.1 Video Progress
fig 4.1.1 video draft #1
I continue working on my final poster based on the one I done in the previous week. However, I decided to make it more simplified and contain less explanation. I basically used the same concept but this time I make myself smaller because my mom said the previous composition was a little weird. This poster is portraying me working on my laptop, with a camera and a tripod, and also a printer around me. This is basically what I do everyday, caught up between school and work, with these three things. I do most of my work on laptop, doing school work and editing videos. I film my videos with my camera and tripod, but not this camera shown exactly because I only own a budget pocket camera hahahah. And lastly, the one I am having the love-hate relationship with, my printer. Not this printer too, this one is too expensive. My printer is basically the heart of my small business, it can’t run without it. In fact, this printer has a lot of problem, so everyday I will have to deal with a lot of it’s issues. I still stick with the starry skies background because it just explain my soul and there is no way I am excluding it. The stars have inspired me so much on doing what I am doing right now, on helping me going through things I am going through. Whenever you are feeling down and unmotivated, just look at the skies, and see how the stars are shining for you!

fig 4.1.3 final poster
This is the final animation i created (or at least I thought it was final). It is just a simple one with thousand hidden messages. For the background music, I am using my current favourite song from Sleeping At Last, Saturn. It is literally the most beautiful song I have ever listen to. The song is very peaceful yet deeply touching. The lyrics are very strong. Everytime I listen to this song I immediately reflect on life, it makes me travel back and forth in time. I have so many stories with the stars and I feel so connected to them. The stars have inspired me so much in many stages of my life. I want everyone who sees this feel the same way as I do. All the objects in this video are the things that I can’t live without. My laptop, my camera and tripod, and my printer. They are my partner in crime, all of my work revolves around them. The animation I did is not that obvious, but if you focus on looking at it everything is moving slightly, including the paper in the printer paper tray, the camera, and even my own body. I mainly focused on animating the stars and the lighting. I think it turned out pretty nice.

I added the song lyrics because Mr. Fauzi said there was too many empty spaces. I actually have so many more ideas in mind on how to animate the entire poster but it was hard to make them come to life since I am still new to After Effects. Well, there is still a lot to learn but I am happy with the result so far!
