Ok well as you can see, "Animes" have influenced me alot as well as "Games", giving me a range of ideas for storylines, characters and animations.(See it in some of my work).
The Key elements I love about "Animes" or "Games" is how it catchs the attention and interact with the audience in a way, for example playing a "Game" your following the characters like your them. As for "Animes" watching every episode+movies gets you really attached to the characters feeling all senses of emotions, from sadness to joyful.
I started to be this way with the "Animes" im watching lately (eventhough im this way along time before lately), I cant seem to wait 1 week for a new episode of both "Naruto" and "Bleach". I also love the drawings and characters that are created for "Anime", as well as the counterpart "Manga".
Compurer games, well im a big fan off free online games from shoot ups to mmorpgs,
example are "S4 League" "Gunz" "Flyff" "Lunia" "Snow Project".
The intereaction in games are really appealing to every audience since its a form of entertainment.
(Will be posting pics of games i play sometimes as well as talking about each and animes too).
Eventhough I am heading towards audio/visal next year, I am also interested in animation+3D+website which I will still do in my own time.
Mainly wanting to combine video and audio with animation 3d (bit of it) doing special effects .

Own Compare
Thanks to sonny for showing the first link, lol this is sooo weird and crazyyy, yet the anime is very cool. Nice to see a music video with nothing related to what the song got created for.
Anyways this is just a simple compare i am decided to do, Eventhough not related to a area it is two of my interests about me (Music and Anime), as well as comparing practice with simularities.
The music video is about Wizard of Oz (yes strange) all happy/childish like, but the song was writen for a Anime:Soul Eater, which is about death reapers/demons/madness etc.
Seeing how there completey opposite of eachother is pretty interesting.

Dragon Ball= My Thoughts
Ok anyone seen Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z/GT when there were little ?, well they are remaking a movie of it based mainly from the manga.
Special effects seem pretty cool and loving the tech in it (space bike that bulma uses), though the actors seem weird and strange = they have the guy who plays spike in buffy as piccolo, and a white guy playing goku (asian in the anime/manga).
They also messed up the storyline :(, on the other hand I will probably watch it just cause of the special effects and curiousity of a live action dragon ball movie.
This is one of them times they should stop making cartoons/animes into movies with live actors, it ruins itself alot, though i may be wrong after I watch it.
P.S. the trailer is cool though!!! :P
Narrative Coursework 1: Part 3: Flash Narrative
Ok was my first flash narratives, storyline based on boy traveling to other worlds.
I am happy with this eventhough had alot of problems with script (didnt stop sometimes etc).
Though I did want use a song for different parts like battles but couldnt find out how to place a song and stop it, then start different one.
P.S just found out I found more script problems, it deleted some scripts by self -_-, and since I was in rush on friday I didnt see this till now, so i ended up just saving it on cd.
Got to love script <---sarcasm :(.
Hopefully teacher will check my blogger for this final version, or ask in presentation on tuesday.
Flash Narrative by ~LightDuo on deviantART
P.s i really really dont like Deviant Art, it prevents alot of things such as deleting ur own comments etc. I have posted wrong msgs too people and wouldnt even let me delete them.

Deadline 12th December (Talk)
Yay I finally handed in the work on time and finished my flash narrative story,
it was annoying me because the script wasnt working at all, it didnt even stop with the right code.
Anyways i fixed it in the end and will upload later since I have to register for deviant ART, but first im going to sleep. Lack of sleep makes me feel really bad, I didnt even sleep yesterday.
First I needed finish my frames *drawed characters from scratch on flash|* this was weird I had to color in my characters with paintbrush, it wouldnt let me use paint bucket.
On the bright side, Anime:Naruto Shippuden, New episode is amazinggg (still prefer episode 86-87 cause great music + Shikumaru fight was too good.
Anime:Bleach, New Episode= wasnt that great to be honest, mostly talking and not much fighting with annoying characters.
I would love to create animes (after knowing flash is insanely hard to draw stuff from scratch).

FUTURE NOTES FOR ME:
Use Photoshop to draw then import to Flash.
Or longer then 1 week to do a project that may require to draw characters and objects from scratch. (hard on Flash)
Exporting on Flash is in SWF File Format.

Drawing objects with shapes etc is easy to color in and draw (lets you use paintbucket)<--Flash
Script is annoying!!! I kind of did ICT in the first year of college and hated it because of programing c++, script is just as bad. Im lucky I can handle html and know it.

Anime ;)
So it may not be a pathway i want go to, animation but it is a interest i like alot and would be doing in my own time, using flash.
It is also a part of me, my own indentity, I am a very big fan of anime as well as other things.
Omg Anime:Bleach+Anime:Naruto are getting really good, and the ending to Anime:Neo Angelique Second Age :( so sad. This just reminds me how important storylines and characters are not only in animation but in films, it gets you really into watching it as well as having feelings while watching.
Animes which are to many, so put ones like look off/seen few eps, and (!) means seen all eps or ones so far, * means favs

Ideas for Narratvies Coursework
This is my brainstorm I did in my own time, since Ihad many creative ideas before I ecided on my final outcome, this is a useful tool to get out ideas.
Thursday 27 November 2008
Wow pretty interesting
I thought this was so funny and wow on flash, I want to create one mixed with different animes, it seems really cool and interesting.
Combining the most unlikely pair ever, both pokemon and naruto which was pretty impressive.
As much as I like animation/animes/flash it isnt a option for me in my 2nd year, because I dont want to be a animator as a career when I have to choose a pathway, although I will be doing it in my own time.

Narrative Coursework 1: Part 2: One Shot Film
This is my one shot film, where we had to do some sort of meeting without using camera movements, expect one. We had a camera man called Daryl, and the idea we had was thought up by the group, the idea was to have a meeting at the vending machine, for example a queue with a person taking a long time to choose something.
So in a way we were meeting with the vending machine, this followed the brief since with such a wide title as “The Meeting” this could suggest anything.
We wanted to be different from other groups by not just doing something everyone does, for example a meeting in office or something around that.
So we decided on a meeting with a object like a lift or cash machine, but in the end we decided that a vending machine would be more interesting.
Many movies or shows have used objects/machines to have voices, for example “Doctor Who” whenever they travel to a different planet or future
(example cash machines talk) or “Terminator” where machines have minds of there own.
The idea was well thought since we didn’t need to worry about sound because we were going mute the sound and add music, as well as voice over’s for people and machine’s thoughts.
Everyone did their own music, edits, voice over’s though, for example for mine,
I wanted make it contain at least a fragment of hilarity so I used voice over’s from "Full Metal Alchemist" for the thoughts of myself, the reason for this is because the anime has a great number of funny moments.
The second person Zhino, I needed a conversation on the phone, this was extremely difficult since searching through Youtube was weird, for examples I searched phone calls, I couldn’t get a decent phone conversation. I ended up with prank calls, which were mainly guys, or I ended up with girls being annoying with weird voices, but after looking for a hour i ended up with a decent funny prank which seems to suit well I believe.
For the Last person in the Queue I needed music that wouldn’t be expected to be heard by Eric, so I used a "High School Musical" song which worked out well in my opinion.
I had a lot of ideas for the music though because I listen to a range mixture of music, so I didn’t have a difficulties with this.
The Final thoughts I needed to do was for the machine, this wasn’t hard with the amount of machine voices that exist in movies, shows, animes today. I knew a lot of that had machines for example, “Terminator” etc. Although I ended up using “Transformers“, after buying the DVD I got inspired for the voice over’s to make it funny, for example a robot vending machine!!.
The song played throughout was a anime song “Tenchi Muyo- Memories“, this fitted excellent I believe because its a calm song which went well with the queuing up.
I had a lot of fun editing this video even though filming was a challenge, couldn’t move the camera expect once for a one shot film. I would also think this would have to be my best project I have done at university so far, comparing to my homework assignments and my previous coursework “Pixilation“.

Assignment 3: Rule of Thirds
The “Rule of Thirds” is basically one of the most significant composition rule for both photographs and films, this is mainly a image/video divided into 9 squares, like a 3x3 grid as shown in the image.
The key attractions of a image/movie which are important to the viewer, will be placed inside the 4 dots on the square, where the lines intersect. For example a main character’s face reaction or important objects.
The Rule of Thirds is said to be where the main interest is, which people’s eyes will go straight into looking at that area.
In my mini video example I showed 3 of the points I wanted to use for my rule of thirds, I used special effects animation using software like After Effects/Particle Illusion to create the key features of the movie. This helped me remember the rule of thirds reasonably well because of the movement in these areas.

Narratives Coursework 1: Part 1: Pixilation
Ok this is my Pixilation using stills, I have been ill and had few problems with premierer (codec stuff was crashing my laptop), but its all fixed now. Storyline is like a magical teleporting journy getting home.
It was my first atempt but i ended up with a better idea after I done it lol, which I will create some other time.
The song suits the pixilation really well since both seem jumpy, the song I used was air gear- theme song from a anime I like (air gear).
Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel was one of the Pixilation videos i watched to inspire me on what could be done, and the types of illusions that pixilation could create.
But i didnt like the video itself because it was too confusing and weird for the actual music.

Ok Little Late
Yeah i'm having few problems actually, trying to finish the video (Coursework module 1:Pixillation).
Besides the 1 hour lesson where ppl started to edit the video (I spent hour trying fix my pics cause they were being weird reordering theselfs).
Anyways by the time I fixed the pictures, the lesson had ended, also my adobe premierer on my laptop doesnt seem to like my laptop -_-, something about audio card not supported and freezes laptop everytime.
I fixed it today since I woke up early (had install a dell driver) just little late to start edit = I will do it by the end of today for sure!!.

Assignment 2: Why Design ?
I was given a assignment to write about one of my favourite well designed objects and answer the following questions, I was also asked to include a image of the chosen object which in my case was the Nintendo DS which I have recently bought.
The Nintendo DS Lite is a remarkable piece of technology, showing us how much devices can evolve while using some of our state of the art machinery. For instance the DS touch screen stylus pen allows the user to draw and write on the DS, or simply move around in games while giving us a whole new experience in playing, a example would be “Legend of Zelda - Phantom Hourglass” where to move the hero, the user would have to use the touch screen pen to reposition the hero to a location.
function well ?
We want so much more from our devices like phones, I-pods, handhelds etc. This is clearly because of how far technology is advancing which gives people the idea “it must have more then one use!!” into our head.
For example is I had to buy a hand held console, back few years ago people would buy the game boy advance which allowed us to play games only. Though if we look at the present date today, no-one would purchase a handheld where you can only play simple games on, we would get the latest handheld like the DS Lite which consists a touch screen, microphone, a calendar to store important dates and it stores images/music. This not only allows to play games but also allows us to have a lot more uses for the device such as a personal calendar.
For example looking at the first Nintendo DS, which only had the basic black/white colours at the start, we see that when the DS Lite was released many new colours came with it such as ice blue
(my preferable favourite which I own), pink and colbalt/black.
The range of colours are important to attract people cause owners of the devices would prefer a colour they like instead of a boring colour like white and black. Also the new DS Lite is slimmer then the previous version, This also helps people pay the extra amount of money because not a single person would like to own a heavy and large object being carried around.

Why is it that we want our belongings to do more for us than to justfunction well ?

Why are we willing, as soon as we can afford it, to play extra money for things with appealing forms ?
Well this is a really good question, I would say that the extra money is well worth it if you gain something a lot more appealing to u.For example looking at the first Nintendo DS, which only had the basic black/white colours at the start, we see that when the DS Lite was released many new colours came with it such as ice blue
(my preferable favourite which I own), pink and colbalt/black.

Assignment 1: Technology Advancement
My Assignment was to write a 300-500 word article that tells about a multimedia technology to the audience. This had to be a technology that’s being or has been developed in the last six months and explain what I think the impact of this technology will have upon our society.
For my assignment I’ve decided to write about the new version of Sony’s PSP,
the PSP-3000.This hand held console contains the same features as the previous version of the PSP, including flash card compatibility, a impressive graphics processor, which allow us to play remarkable and realistic games such as “Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII”. Not every console has such realistic graphics, especially for a handheld so we are lucky to have the PSP and the new version, PSP-3000.
Not only does the new PSP-3000 have the internet like the previous version had, but the new version is gaining a new impressive and improved LCD screen which allows the games to look a lot better, as well as improving the graphics.
I like the idea how the PSP-3000 is getting a new slim design which will be lighter and easier to carry, this is always a good thing for the audience users since it appeals them a lot more then a heavy and large device. But it doesn’t stop there on Sony's improvements on this new technology, it will also gain a built in Microphone similar to the Nintendo DS and a anti-reflective technology to improve playability outdoors in the sunlight.
The release date for the Sony PSP-3000 is 14th October 2008 in America for $169.99, but Europe had a later release which was 17th October 2008 for £149. This will be a Silver version only at the start, till later colours are released in the future.
In my opinion I feel that this handheld will be very popular not only for the several features it consists of, but also for the realism of graphics the PSP/PSP-3000 have, as well as the games built for it.
I predict that technology is becoming extremely realistic with graphics, the technology keeps improving so much and fast that one day consoles will let u play games in virtual worlds, Maybe even handheld console like the PSP joined with a device to view yourself inside the game (maybe a virtual world helmet), The PSP-3000 is just one example of the amazing technology that shows future is heading to virtual worlds.
I also believe that Handheld consoles are getting so small in size that sooner or later, there’s going to be a really small pocket size handheld console that lets you do anything.
