After completing last week’s modelling I painted the texture for the hot air balloon, the texture was made by myself in AI with the letters Gina, which is my English name. Its style is as relaxed and happy as a party. This model will be used in the Nuke course.

We embarked on more complex projects, making glassware and modelling a hot air balloon. For the former, it was important to place it in a suitable environment so that the glassware would blend in with it. There is a wealth of detail in modelling a hot air balloon, such as the chains and clasps that connect the balloon, the engine and tubes are also essential parts of the balloon, I made the passenger section of the balloon into a fence style, I like the neat and orderly design.
‘City’: I couldn’t think of an exact subject at first, I just randomly recorded some life clips,until I wanted to add background music to this 20-second video and I heard the song sparks. It suddenly remind to me that pets, art, music, and architecture are the sparks in our lives.
I picked the movie Moonrise Kingdom. I am a fan of most Wes Anderson films. I am always attracted to the colors and symmetrical compositions and the stylist of the characters in films.
The film is about the innocent feelings of children, Suzy and Sam, who communicate as pen pals by writing letters. They have different character traits.
Sam’s personality represents all the qualities of the logical, he’s a member of the local boy scouts, which in many ways tries to mimic the discipline of the military, he knows how to read and make maps and he shows an interest in the painting of the landscape.
Suzy love to touch with the fantastical and artistically creative aspects of life as shown through her interest in numerous fantastical children’s books and her attachment to her magical binoculars.
What they have in common is that they have difficulty getting along with the people around them. Suzy and Sam are also trying to understand each other’s world, they are both Ignorance children trying to find another person and place where they are happy, but all the adults are trying to tear them apart.

Story Arcs:
Prologue
From the lining of the tent to the color of the paper on the bulletin board, the screenplay is full of detailed descriptions of the world, each character is doing something else when we meet them, going about their normal routines before getting roped-in to the story. Until it was discovered that sam had left the scout group.
Conflict
The narrator gives us a tour of the island and foreshadows the coming storm,
Narrator: “We are on the far edge of black beacon sound famous for the ferocious and well-documented storm which was driven on the east on the fifth of September —in three days.”
Discovery of sam’s disappearance and then the search for him begins.
Rising action
We meet the khaki scouts and see their potential for violence as they search for sam while carrying Very large very dangerous weapons. When Suzy and Sam encounter the Khaki Scouts, We already know the cast of characters, the scope of the world, and the looming threat.
And This film moves the plot along by further elaborating on the threat：
One of the scouts is stabbed by Suzy and the dog is killed. I felt bad for the dog being killed, but these two scenes further the plot and compound the way the threat and lack of security. They go through a series of escapes and adventures to find a suitable place to land but are eventually discovered.
Climax
They run away again, this time in a rainstorm, Suzy and Sam climb to the roof to try to escape, there is a real sense of danger. their willingness to die for their love is impactful. Throughout the storm rescue operation, we can see from the expressions and dialogue of the characters that everyone is in a state of high tension. Falling action.

After the storm, Narrator, Gives some background information.
Denouement
Eventually, they found a suitable way to see each other.
The film had a very distinctly interactive cinematic language, it makes you very sure you are watching a film, the narrator speaks to the audience, interacts with the camera to explain the film’s message, the audience can feel the abundance of emotions but still retains a sense of distance and needs to actively participate to identify the emotional life of the characters.
Topic：
How ecology is used in VFX
Keyword：Simulation of growth patterns, Virtual ecology, ecology, VFX, Plants.
Introduction:This topic will look at how visual effects can be created to make 3d models visually alive by simulating the laws of growth. The representation of ecological forms requires a reasonable amount of research and development, and how virtual ecology can be created in special effects through the knowledge of ecology, perhaps based on the analysis of scientific data and the adjustment of model movement parameters to achieve this effect. I would like to start by analysing some of the plant effects shots in films or commercials.

Some of the topics that came up in my group were the following:
· How the AR & VR help disable
· Feminism in Pixel animation
· The connection between pop culture and animation.
We created his head, arms, upper body and legs separately, it was important to adjust the wiring and get the lines right. After we finished modelling we started adding materials, as it was a simple lego I chose to colour it with AI standard surface, expanded the UV of the head and added an expression material for the logo figurine.
First week professor Nick Savy introduced us to Maya. We work through modeling, texturing, and some compositing work to complete the scene.
During this process, I find something interesting in the HDR sunlight in the skydome light, I started to think about how to make the model more natural and balanced in the scene, I found that if only HDR is not enough, I added an area light to increase the light.
This is a rendered picture, there are a lot of flaws, and I still have to try more.
I would like to find the meaning of time from daily life, I took eight pictures to express Time from four different perspectives.
The first is ‘on my way’ 1-3
Taking the underground or bus often makes me think about time. Time is a speeding train that never stops. Takes people to different places, and people meet and separate at some point.
The second is cycle of life 4
The flowers blooming to different degrees. Time is the cycle of life again and again. Our life are woven together with time and every moment is born and lost.
The third is ‘stop the time’ 5-6
This is the work of the artist Damien Hirst, he uses formalin to make art. I think this artwork not only expresses the theme but also freezes them at a specific time.
The fourth is vintage clothes 7-8
I like to buy some vintage things, such as the 90s 80s 70s clothes or accessories, identified by the style and the special craftsmanship of certain years, these elements also express the time.
That’s all, thank you for watching!
