FFA231; Mechanics of Motions: Analyzing Characters.

Image result for dinosaur on toy story

On our last class, we watched an animation film to analyze characters. We watched Toy Story and asked to pick a character to follow.

 Chosen Character
I decided to pick Rex because I remembered him the most and I thought of writing about him even before the movie starts. Rex is a plastic, green, Tyrannosaurus Rex.

 Traits
In the movie, Rex can be seen as a really supportive character because he's always supporting Woody who is the leader out of all the toys. He is also a very determined and persistent character. Even if he is a Trex, he doesn't have a scary roar so he always practices to get better in roaring. In the first bit of the film, Rex tried to scare Woody but Woody doesn't seem intimidated at all. Rex is also a very insecure character. He's not confident with his own roar and he always thinks that he's annoying whenever he tries to scare other toys. Other than that, Rex is also an indecisive character from my observations. When Woody was accused to try to execute Buzz from Andy's toy collection, Rex was torn between trusting Woody or other toys. He hates any kind of confrontation or arguments but he slowly and reluctantly turns against Woody under peer pressure but still have guilt for not trusting Woody.

Role
Rex is a supporting and side character in Toy Story. He's also a character that gives the film a little comedies. He can be seen mostly as a loyal Woody's supporter.

Goals
In this film, when Rex was first introduced he already tell his ultimate goal which is to have intimidating roars. 

 Fears
One of his biggest fear is if Andy got a new dinosaur toy, that is more ferocious and intimidating than him. Other than that, he's also terrified of Sid Philips, Andy's neighbour who likes to torture toys and using toys for his scary experiments. This can be shown at how Rex responded terrifyingly when all the toys noticed that Sid is home early from Summer Camp.

Exaggerated trait
Rex's exaggerated trait would be innocent. He's indecisive, determined, gentle, kind, caring and hates argumentation. He has this childlike manner and lack of self confidence. He also wants to be loved and played with his owner, Andy. 

Relationships
One of the most obvious relationship is with Andy, which is his owner. Rex seems to be the only dinosaur toy that Andy has.

Next, Rex's relationship with Woody which Rex seems to respect him as the leader and his friend. He also had some problems trusting Woody when he tried to execute Buzz but he ended up feeling relieved that Woody is not a bad toy.

Rex is also close with Buzz who helped him to roar better and increase his confidence.

FFA231; Mechanic of Motions: Week 1 (September 28th 2017)

Rope & Coil and Impromptu Acting Hi, the first class of mechanic of motions left me with shock because I never thought we had to do physical activities like acting and doing exercises with friends. Apparently this class actually will help you understand how different people or objects interact with the environments or different scenes. In the first class, we had two exercises which were Rope and Coil and impromptu acting. Unfortunately, for the first exercise I couldn't participate because there were only two girls in my class which wasn't enough people for the game. But just by looking at the boys, they had to make a group, stand in a circle and clinging to each other as if you're somewhere really high and standing on a rope. They were challenged to organize the circle by name in alphabetical order. If they break the circle they were considered lost or 'they fell from the rope and probably die'. These boys actually succeed the game and no one dies. Next

FFA233; Digital Ink & Paint: FINAL.

OH MY GOD HI ITS FINAL ALREADY. Can't believe its already final week full of presentations, submissions and headaches. But here it is, my final work for Digital Ink & Paint. With the theme of steampunk i came out with this. My main idea for this work is obviously underwater probably because being on the ground is mainstream. Playing around with colours, brushes and effects has been fun with photoshop but I still couldn't get used to sketching on photoshop that's why I use both Paint Tool SAI and Adobe Photoshop. My work is 100% paint without using any superimpose.  This class in many ways have improved my drawing skills and more. The class was also interesting, fun and full of knowledge. Having a very supportive and great lecturer is also a plus too! I'd definitely miss this class and also my classmates 💕 RAW Photoshop file HERE
