Extra Credit: H. for Health/Happiness

link

For this week's extra credit blog, I decided to do the H.E.A.R.T Challenge. I started watching a video called "Alike" it is a short animation film about a father and a son that has been following the same rules/things as everyone else. One day, as they were going to school and work, someone caught the little boy's attention. It was an old man playing the piano and it really amazed the boy however, his father took him away. One thing that video confirmed for me is that people, in general, are scared to do something different because it's not a common thing to do and they find it a big risk to do. 

One new thing (not really) that I have learned from this video is that the father started as a strict parent to his son because he thought that it would be the best for him but he did not realize how his work makes him feel as well until he saw his son started to become paler (unmotivated/unhappy in this film context) because of the rules in the society they're living restrict him from doing what he likes.

This film wanted me to look more at inspiring videos about this kind of thing because it really makes me feel more contented with what I have today such as learning what I like to become in the future.

    Hey Flosie,
    I really liked this blog I haven't watched "Alike" yet but I definitely am adding it to my watch list now. I like the concept about how people in this society become paler the more they follow the rules and make them feel more like the same as everyone else. Or at least that's what I understood from your description of the film.

Introduction to a future Animator 😁

If you've been reading my blog post since the day I started, you have read my first introduction. However, I haven't really talked about myself. So in this post, I will along with questions from the tasks we have given. 😁 My photo from last year First of all my name is Flosie Jane Sazon, I am currently a 2nd-year student studying Creative Digital Media at the  Technological University of Dublin located in Blanchardstown Campus. I'm 20 years old (even though I don't look my age 😂) and I have been living in Ireland since I was 13. This course wasn't actually my first choice even though I love art. My first choice was something about business and language which was way different from what I'm doing now, but I'm really happy that I'm doing what I love. Even though there were a lot of times convincing my parents but everything went well in the end.😂😂 What was the best class you took last semester? why? Even though I enjoyed Web Development and Design Proc...

Game Idea Research

Maze  Inspiration Last week, I started to collect some game ideas and talk about what we like about them. However this week, we have to choose on out of all the game ideas we picked. The game that I decided to do is similar to "Roller Splat!" but in 3D instead because that is the type of game we are learning in Unity. I think that it will be helpful as I can utilize the skills that I learned from the tutorials to my project instead of studying another type of game. I will have more time to develop my game better if I stick to 3D style as well. Choosing this type of game is also a good starter, especially for people who want to make a game for the first time like me. My game will also be played in a first person point of view means that the camera of will be placed at the back following the ball inside the maze. While doing my secondary research, I find countless of game tutorials on YouTube that are related to the idea I am going for. Most of them are also made in Unity which...

Tech-Tip: Animated Gif

  Hi guyssss! How you keeping with the modules? I feel I haven't been doing blogs for ages hahaha. I really miss writing in a more friendly vibe blog since we were told to write in an academic style, I've been trying to do it for most of my blogs. Since this is just a simple task, I decided to write it comfortably.  For this blog, I made a quick and simple animated gif where I compiled some of the images that I took in college during our photography lab. I decided to use these images because I really miss going to college and even though I always get tired walking up the hill hahaha. I always love the sunset view from our campus and it's one of the things I missed apart from hanging out with my friends in C-block.😭  Now I feel sad reminiscing my college days when we can actually go there hahaha. Anyway, I hope you are doing well during the lockdown. Don't overwork yourself too much! Watch anime or Korean drama and I promise you, you will not regret it!! You should try ...
