Storytelling Project : Final Project and Bibliography

I wanted to create something that was more than just a sports story – I wanted to use boxing as a metaphor for life. With a monologue and rap beat in the background, my film aimed to inspire and motivate viewers to keep pushing forward, no matter how tough the fight may be.

Several important lessons were taught to me while making this video. First and foremost, I realised how critical it is to have a clear vision for your project. With so many creative options accessible, it's easy to become sidetracked or lose sight of your initial objectives. However, by remaining focused on my vision for the picture, I was able to make decisions that improved the final result.

Another thing I learnt was the value of teamwork. I got the services of a brilliant musician to construct the rap rhythm while I wrote the story and made the animation. We were able to create a unified and effective film by working together, which would not have been feasible without both of our efforts.

The concept of perseverance was maybe the most essential lesson I learnt. The process of creating an animated film is time-consuming and frequently difficult. There were times when I considered giving up or settling for a less-than-ideal outcome. However, by pushing through those doubts and continuing to fine-tune the video, I was able to produce something I am quite happy with.

Perhaps the most significant lesson I learned was the importance of experimentation. When using new technology or tools, it can be tempting to stick to what you know or what is comfortable. However, by pushing myself to experiment with Eb synth and explore its capabilities, I was able to create sequences that exceeded my expectations. This experience reminded me that filmmaking is a constantly evolving field, and it's important to stay curious and try new things.



In the end, creating this boxing animation film using Eb synth taught me that AI-powered tools can be valuable assets in the creative process. By using these tools in conjunction with traditional filmmaking techniques, I was able to create a unique and impactful film that resonated with viewers. Moving forward, I am excited to continue exploring the possibilities of AI in filmmaking and see how it can help me tell even more compelling stories.

Finally, synthesizing this boxing animation clip showed me that filmmaking is about much more than technical abilities or creative ideas. It's about having a clear vision and persevering through the difficulties. I intend to continue making important and compelling films that engage with audiences by applying these skills to future projects.

Degree Project Ideas......

Image
Thus, the summer is over and school has resumed. Do you know what you're going to make for your degree project? was the first query. I remained silent, but I knew exactly what I wanted to try and create. The entire summer, I had in the back of my mind what I ought to cook. However, I was clear on VR after receiving really favourable feedback. I was ready to work over my comfort zone in VR and create a work of art that would wow viewers. INSPIRATION  I have watched more films this summer than I ever have. I was really interested in producing films. I was curious about the work of great directors like James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, James Gunn, and Christopher Nolan. What makes their films so unique and how do they think? I spent the entire summer watching and analysing the majority of the films by the aforementioned directors since I was so curious. It amazed me. By the end of the summer, I was certain that I wanted to be a filmmaker and director. I also watched

Making of the Planets..

Image
In addition to creating planets for my project, I also wanted to create a template for the planets so that I could copy and paste them, changing the material and colour nodes to create a completely different planet. This way, I could use the template as often as necessary to create a bizarre planet for my degree project. First Step: Configuring the Sphere We start our journey by constructing a basic spherical, which will serve as the basis for our magnificent planet. To ensure seamless transitions and accurate detailing, we'll add a UV Sphere primitive and use Blender's user-friendly interface to polish its edges with a Subdivision Surface modifier. Step 2: Materials Addition: Enlivening the Planets Now that our sphere is in position, it's time to harness the magic of materials to give it life. We'll explore Blender's material editor and use the adaptable Musgrave texture to create an aesthetically appealing surface. Through the manipulation of characteristics li

The Davinci Result and Part 1 Post Production

Image
 While working on a certain nebulae sequence, I encountered a big obstacle in my attempt to provide engaging VR material. I tried my hardest, but there was a lot of distracting noise in the footage, which took away from the intended visual effect. I set out on a quest of investigation and testing to save the sequence and improve its quality because I was determined to find a solution. I found a potentially effective solution after researching other options and talking to other creators. DaVinci Resolve is a potent video editing programme that is well-known for its strong noise-reduction features. Equipped with this fresh understanding, I enthusiastically tested this method in the hopes of reviving my problematic nebula sequence. I nervously awaited the best outcome when I applied the denoising algorithm in DaVinci Resolve after importing the video and carefully tweaking the settings. I was astounded to see the nebulae's actual beauty emerge as the noise progressively subsided and
