LECTURE
Week 13 is a public holiday. That is week was supposed to be the final project
submission, but Mr. Yusoff decided to extend the deadline. He told us to
balance our composition by having at least 50% of photography elements and try
not to animate to much movement in order to maintain the aesthetics of
photography.
TUTORIAL
Mr. Yusoff send us those videos to help us understand to Advance features of After Effects

PRATICAL
Draft
Originally, I planned to use the 3D glasses as a projector. I then decided
to scrap the 3D glasses idea in favor of anaglyph effect. I then decided
to have the tone of the poster in a whimsical style, by having bright and
cheerful colors as background.
Idea Inspiration
I then understand from Mr Yusoff that he prefers realistic images thus it
was a challenge to encapsulate MASAKI's influence in my art piece. I
researched a little more on perfectionism, my personality trait and I
stumbled upon the book written by Sara Shepard. I then incorporated the
roses motive to highlight that I look at the world through rose tinted
glasses.

Draft #1
I was working on the composition on A4 but then I found out that is required
to be 1080 x 1920px, so I change the size.

Final
The background from the drafts did not suit my personality very well, I
felt the roses in the backgound and the bright colours are too loud for
me. I then decided to change the tone of the backgound to a more claasical
rococo art style. I then switched the roses from the backgound to the
clouds. I incoporated crude drawings on the raindrops to make reference to
MASAKI's work.

Final Video
After completing my poster on Photoshop, I then
imported my poster to Aftereffects to animate it. I originally intended to
have the top of my head to spiral off, but I realized Mr. Yusoff is not in favour of too much animation, thus I decided to have the top of my head fly
off like a rocket. Once the top of my head is opened then the water droplets
drizzle into my head.
