Concept for project 2

I am thinking about doing a video.

The story is that a Chinese boy has a spirit( maybe small and simple shapes with some Chinese elements female) around him no matter where he go, but he can't see the spirit. The first scene will be the boy wake up and the spirit wake up as well with sleepy face, and it follows the boy customary. But he actually is going to toilet, so it comes out from the door and its face look embarrassing. He went to school, study, have class, do homework, go to library, read books, review the books, find out a job, live with his own money, etc. and the spirit always around him. That will be a lot of stories happen with the boy which i haven't think clearly yet, but will have something like go to drink, go to meet friends, meet a girl he like, all the little stories, the spirit still around him. There are some happy stories, some sad stories, some exciting some boring. But after all this stories, one day, the spirit disappear, and when the boy wake up, he find out that today is different, he can't tell why, but seems like he lose something that is really important and he feel really upset. and that is the end.

so the story tells us, people always don't care about or forget something important(like parents love), but when you lose it, you will feel so sad. so the spirit is kind of a symbol meaning of his mum, always care about the boy support him and around him, but one day she will leave you. so treasure that now, do not wait for the end that important people past over.

The Posthuman

I quite like to play fighting games suck as King of fighters, Street fighters and Takken.
There are so many cool characters beat each others with awesome movements and their own powers.
So I try to find out some good videos about those cool fighting.

After that, I start to make something like those style. I create my two main characters.


Meanwhile, teacher suggests me have a little story before the fighting.
I try to make the story like a beginning of old film, so it has white spots and white lines on top.

but for animate fighting part, i found it is really hard to make, so i try to watch more videos, even the records from other peoples replay.

for the ending, i make it from real fight turns out two characters use rock scissor paper, so it is kind of a surprise funny ending.

Alfred Stieglitz

I quite enjoy photography, and my favorite photographer during early 20th century is Alfred Stieglitz.
He is the guy bring out Photo-Secession. Photo-Secession is a viewpoint that what was significant about a photograph was not what was in front of the camera but the manipulation of the image by the artist/photographer to achieve his or her subjective vision. For this point, it means the photos can tell stories by photographer, not just meaningless pictures to record the scenes. He bring out this new theory, and change the photography from meaningless picture to art.
He also form a group to produce he and his group members art works, and that group is called 291.
Here are some famous photos by Alfred Stieglitz.

But one day, he finally kill the white guy, he found it is really lonely and he create a new hero for the city.

Megamind find out Matroman is not dead, but he find out what he really wanna do, so Matroman lets Megamind to be the hero, protect the city. At the end, Megamind beats the new bad guy and protect the city.
It is really funny 3d movie.


Despicable me, a bad guy as well, wanna become the most bad guy in the world, so he make a plan to steal the moon, but there are 3 little girls come into his life, and then the story turns out he is the good guy and fight with the other bad guy. I really like the characters, the little yellow stuff is really cute and funny.
