Exercise: Creating New Character

Semester 3

2017

So, this week we had this fun activity called Creating New Character. Mr Ezwan passed around a box of laminated cards which on every piece of them wrote what role we have to play. For me, I got...

And this is my acted out,

Yeah! That was it. Okay, so actually I was planning another scene where my friends asked me to go for dinner together but I said I was so 'tired' to go with them, but then I yelled to them to buy me food instead. Because, I was so lazy, haha! But that scene couldn't make it because I was running out of time and already reached to one minute.

But, nevermind that, I think we were all having fun time watching our classmates out with their ideas of their role. From this task, I learn that once we got the role, we need to really 'in' the character so that it is clear, obvious and audience could understand what character we bring. Same goes to animation, animators need to really understand ones' character to make the subject well-known with their own uniqueness.

Also, not to forget, my acted out was inspired by myself in daily life and others who are closed to me. 'Laziness' is not something stranger to our living, each of us must have a time when the laziness controls our body and mind, we could not seems eager to do anything at all. We will do as minimal as we could and used anybody around us to do something we want or need. BUT, being to much lazy at so many time and procrastinate so many things is not good, it will lead us to unproductive life. So, as a conclusion, lets us don't be such a lazy-bones, okay?
