My House Is A Spaceship

SEM03. G A M M A. PROJECT#03
P R O J E C T :: My House Is A Spaceship


Showreel of this sem's project


This is my final assignment for my GAMMA year. It was a whole new experience for me than my other experiences in the pass semesters. Overall, I'm really glad I did managed to pass my Film and Animation course this semester.


For this project, we had to shot a short movie based on one of the given themes :
+ solo experience
+ polar opposites
+ under the surface


My project was based on the under the surface theme. Below are the project details :





Below is the original shot of the short movie.

This are the models turnaround for this project. I really love the modelling parts of every project that I have involved so far!


Models Development


I was going for the Star Trek Voyager's concept designed, but clearly mine turns out to be something else. Here is the animation parts of the movie along with the render passes.

Animation and Render Passes


Finally! Here's the final product; presenting My House Is A freakin Spaceship!
Aaaahhh...I hate the audio processing part. I used Sony Sound Forge for the audio processing and it was completely fine until I imported it into AE. 

This semester was such a hassle completing this project. My AE kept crashing and MAYA kept on lagging, I felt like I had been cursed with ill fated! Anyway, here's the complete movie.


Final movie


I noticed my lame sound efx attempt. It was so poor. I'm so embarrassed... When I had the time, I will going to re-do it for sure!

Sketch Attack!

These are the sketches I did back when I was in first sem of BETA and back when I had all the time in the world! I still doodling whenever I can though. But most of them are on my study notes. :D


Kouchi Neko

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.” -Helen Keller

Kouchi neko. I love to draw this free spirited cat every time I got myself a new sketch book. This picture always ended up on the first page of my sketch books. Sometimes, it even ended up on random page of my note books.


Mushroom Lover

I drew this based on a picture I saw on one of my friend's desktop. I was attracted to it the moment I laid my eyes on it. Unable to get a copy of the image, I decided to draw it from my memory. I'm sure it didn't look as good as the original since I'm not really good with crayon.


Dream of Doll

This was from my first assignment in the Sketch Attack class, another segment of the Film and Animation class. The task was to complete sketch based on a picture less than 10 minutes and this was the result. 

This was where I stumbled upon the original picture :


Hyde, L' arc en Ciel

Ughhh. Not exactly how I intended it to be. One thing for sure though, I needed more intensive practices.


Naruto

Another sketch I did based on a Naruto cosplayer. It sure didn't look like how I imagine it would be.

L, Death Note

This is the character from the manga turns anime, L from Death Note. But this one was drawn based on a cosplayer cosplaying as L. I experimented with my style a bit in this sketch.




Murasaki

Another doodling I did while waiting for the lecturer to come to the class. Murasaki, or purple in Japanese is and has always been my favorite color. This one was drawn based on a picture I saw in one of Kaoru's comic. Kaoru is one of the best Malaysian comic artists.  My drawing style was so much influenced by her. But I hope one day I may find my own drawing style.


Last Friends

I sketched this based on a picture I saw while watching Japanese drama, Last Friends. I didn't include the red ribbons though.

Last Friends original picture

It was really a nice drama. Too bad, the guy had to die though...he was just a little twisted inside. But overall, he was a nice guy deep down inside.


Getsurenka

This was another picture I drew based on Kaoru's characters. These two has always been my favorite. A cupid who fell in love with a death angel. This one was done sloppily using ball pen and a marker pen.


Joe Cheng

Another experiment I did. I drew this for one of my best friend who is a die hard fan of him.


Me, in the car

Assignment 2 for the Sketch Attack class. We had to draw our own face. So, this is me. This is how I looked like.


Fruity Sky

A water color painting I did during semester break. It was really fun because I did this together with my little sister who had to complete a painting for her homework; while I was just playing around with her spare sketch paper.


Guarding You

Another doodling based on Kaoru's character. I sketched this while I was fighting to stay awake in the afternoon class. It was a fierce battle but I won eventually! :D



Yukata Night

These two picture was drawn based on the same picture my friend took at an even called Yukata Night at our university. The second top one was drawn with my usual sketch style while the bottom was the manga version. We really had fun that night wearing yukata and pretending to be Japanese. :D


Ouran Highschool Host Club, Haruhi and Kyouya

This was the sketch I did based on Ouran Highschool Host Club's cosplay. The cosplayer was really good in portraying their character.


Soul Exorcist

Soul Exorcist is a character from the manga D. Grayman. It is my all time favorite manga. I drew this while waiting for my sister to finish her cheer-leading practice. I tried drawing this using different style rather than my 'copying-Kaoru's-style.




07 Ghost

Finally some chibis! I have been meaning to draw chibi character for quite sometime and when I saw this two pictures while reading the 07 Ghost manga, I just couldn't resist myself. So here they are, the characters from 07 Ghost, both the antagonist and the protagonist.


Me, and the other two

This was done during the Sketch Attack class. It was done based on the picture of me, my sister and my brother.


Reading in woods

This was another painting I did while my sister had to complete her art homework. While she was painting hers, I made this, another water color painting. It's a picture of a girl reading a book to her cats while her two cats listening to her. What's with the cat? Well, while I was painting this, my two cats were watching me intently.



Me, and my best buddies

This is the first doodle i did using my brand new wacom; a gift from dad. Felt a bit awkward with the settings but heck, the pen tool was awesome! I'm loving it already! XD


 Mr. Dark Ink

Testing a different style of strokes. I was supposed to work on my thesis, but I did THIS instead. My eyes needed a break from reading all those texts! >.<'


 A fury fan of Harry Potter 

Finally! Went to watched Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallow Part II. It was freakin' awesome!!! XD Can't believe it has ended after so many years...but then again, there's Pottermore! And I'm addicted to it!


 Jasmine 

A quick 30min sketch I did for my lovely, pet big sister. A gift for her belated birthday. :D Not quite nailed it since she's way waaaay prettier than this!


 Have a cup of tea during rainy day 

Ahhh...a cup of tea while enjoying the rainy day. I love rain! I especially love the sky after the rain and the smell that lingers. Tea anyone? :)



 Ehem. Not porn okay. Haha!

Saw a model with this sensual pose. Can't resist myself from drawing my version. Hehe.


 Red Fan

I've been doing lots and lots of research on Chinese opera for my upcoming project. Now every time I close my eyes, I will see the hauntingly beautiful head piece. Am I haunted? No, no, no, I just need to doodle it out! Hahaha!
