individual specialist project #191 - individual specialist project part 74

This is my 70th blogspot post for our individual specialist project.

Continued from where I had left off ...


Today (November 18th 2015) - Post production
I continued working on the post production
for my pitch video trailer. 

Today I was able to finish re-animating 
the text of introduction to the trailer.

From there I complied the shot and exported it out 
in after effects. 
It seems that when I exported it out
something didn't seem to the right with the sound files
to which i had to cut off some parts off to the dialogue and 
the music itself was louder than it should be (lower than the dialogue).

When I sync the png files with the dialogue it was off
the animation was playing at 30 frames per second to which it was 
supposed to be playing at 25 frames per seconds.
I exported the png files as 1920 x 1080 to which it supposed to be 
the same file size as the flash file that way the
images will sync up to the dialogue perfectly 

So currently  I am now  re-exporting
all the shots as png files in the right dimensions
and re-exporting them out again in after effects.


Plan for the rest of the day:
Is to re-export all the shots as pngs.
So that tomorrow I can re-import them into after effects
and have them sync up with the dialogue.

individual specialist project #190 - individual specialist project part 73

This is my 69th blogspot post for our individual specialist project.

Continued from where I had left off ...


Today (November 17th 2015) - Post production
I continued working on the post production
for my pitch video trailer. 

Today I did some re-recording of a dialogue piece
for the introduction of my pitch. Since in one dialogue line 
it becomes louder at one point then suddenly it becomes low again.

Before that I went on to this website 
to find some bgm that fit with my pitch and I have found two songs 
that I can use


Other than that
my plan for later tonight and tomorrow
is to re-animate the text to the introduction of my pitch.

individual specialist project #189 - individual specialist project part 72

This is my 68th blogspot post for our individual specialist project.

Continued from where I had left off ...


Today (November 16th 2015) - Post production
I started working on the post production
for my pitch video trailer. 

I first begin exporting all the files out from flash
(the introduction shot of my pitch)
from there I used Adobe Media Encoder 
to change the settings and the compression of the files

and later I used Adobe After effects 
to put all the files together.

I am currently working making sure that the sound works well
and later if it does I'll add some bgm music to it.

About the sound ...
some of the sound files sounds loud in the way that I want it to be
but in the other files they become lower again. 
I wonder what I can do to fix that.

individual specialist project #188 - individual specialist project part 71

This is my 67th blogspot post for our individual specialist project.

Continued from where I had left off ...


Today (November 13th 2015) - Production
I continued working on the production
for my pitch video trailer. 
This time working on the other features part

This is what I have done for it ...
(colours are off).
Other than that the production for the pitch video trailer
is finally done. I can start with the post-production next week.

Reflection
How did the week go?
Everything went smoothly but I did have some troubles along the way.
1. I was having trouble when combining the chinese chess board game mode
with the rpg battle mode. One of the file just didn't appear correctly.
2. The animation for the text took me a whole school day 
to work on for each shot.
3. All production stuff for this is done now
so i'm glad that i can focus my attention more 
during the post-production.

Continued from where I had left off ...


Today (November 10th 2015) - Pre production
I did some voice recording for my character Liu Bei
and spent the whole afternoon working on that. 
My voice actor for Liu Bei is Savin Kheng.
Now that it has all been recorded 
I can finally start to work out the timing of my pitch video trailer.
There might be some animation involved with it, so who knows.

Coming up soon ...
will be the production of the video pitch trailer.
