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...

Unity Tutorial 04

This week's tutorial lesson was very straightforward and easy to follow. I also did not have any problem with the Unity tutorial videos and the software this time which I am really glad about. I learned how to apply codes that can destroy the objects when the collision is detected. I also know how to add the "Game Over" message in coding if the farmer missed feeding one of the animals. The tutorial lesson also taught us how to spawn the animals at timed intervals so that the animals will appear randomly on the game. Here are the things that I learned for this week's Unity tutorial: Lesson 2.4 New functionality: Animals are spawned on timed interval and walk down on the screen and the animal gets past the player without getting fed, there's a "Game Over" trigger massage at the left bottom of the screen. When the projectile and animal collide, objects are removed right away. New Concepts/Skills: Create custom methods/functions InvokeRepeating() to repeat c...

Time Strategies

Ancient clock As usual, I have been trying to start my last blog for this week, but because I procrastinate so much I never ended up doing it.  I feel like I always keep saying (I'll do it tomorrow morning), knowing very well that I am actually not a morning person!😂 . Anyways.... I am doing it again, moving away from the main topic. *facepalm* Today I will be talking about the time management which is ironic for me as I have been procrastinating before doing this blog. We were given multiple articles to choose from and read at least 2 of them to help us manage our time and keep our head on track with college work. Even though it is only the 2nd week of semester, we already have plenty of things to do, whether it is a tasks or labs. I've already found myself overthinking and feeling pressured to be able to submit the work on time. I also find it hard to stick to my planned timetable for this specific module that I created last week because there are tasks that kept coming. The...
