SENimation News Update 1 July 2009

Hi Guys,

Sorry that I haven't been uploading/updating for while because I'm quite busy on my presonal short film "Satay Satay" and also directing a 2D & 3D hybrid animation called "The Collision".

"Satay Satay" is on its way to completion. Only 4 more shots left to be animated and then I'll move on to compositing stage. Music is composed by Jimmy Ho who used to work with me in "Poles Apart (2007)". Sound design by David Williams. Both music and sound are in progress at the moment. Yeah, I can finally see the way to the end of the path...

About "The Collision", which is a short film that I work on with the co-operation of Jessie Goh (producer) and Kelsie Chan (producer + original story). Music by Jimmy Ho (Again! haha, he's too awesome. Just like why Steven Spielberg always uses John Williams' music and Tim Burton always has Johnny Depp in his movies.) Well, "The Collision" is actually completed but we can't post it out yet b'cos we wanna send it to competitions and festivals. Anyway, I'll talk about this more in the next post...

About what I'm watching lately? I'm recently watching a web animated clip called "Story from North America" which was created by Garrett Davis and Kirsten Lepore . I can not remember how many times I have been watching it thought. The song itself is just too catchy and the animation is so freaking funny. 3 words, "I love it" and I have decided to share with everyone who visits my blog. Please check it out their work.

Well, about the design, I'm using SENimation Mascots to promote my works in order to get recognised. Hehehe, there is a Chinese phrase said "One arrow 2 birds". I think you know what I mean.

VFX is normally been done in high tech softwares nowadays but how many people will still be doing handrawn VFX? I did all these VFX test in Flash and After Effects, combining the latest technology and my traditional skill. I'm actually drawing and animating some of the effects frame by frame in Flash then compositing it later on. Please take a look.

Happy Mother's Day 2009

Before: My mom spoon-fed me when I was a kid.

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love.
