Wk 13- Before and After Photoshop :)

Before and After Photoshop :)

My favourite software is Photoshop. I will try to explore the skill and varies function of Photoshop when I am free xD I like to use Photoshop more than Illustrator, which I know this is very wrong. :P Actually, I was an engineering student before I join FCM. Can say Photoshop bring me into FCM indirectly. Long story... But I LOVE FCM!!!

Wk 12- The videos I liked

One of the YouTube partner, Freddie Wong, owns one of the most subscribed channel in YouTube. He produced video nicely with nice visual effects. Effects like guns muzzle flares, realistic 3D modeling, and professional video making techniques.

Here's some of his most popular videos.




Besides showing his video skills, he also has another channel which show behind the scenes of each video and share some tutorials and tips to make video as well.

Here's Behind the Scene of my favourite, Cereal Killer


One of his tutorials that teach us the way to create realistic gun muzzle flare.


So, he did all his video creatively, combination of great techniques and even mix some elements of humor.

His video channel update weekly. I like to watch his videos a lot that I subscribed his channel to watch his video every week.

Besides that, he uses professional video equipment for filming. He seems like know that many of his viewers will be interested to self making film too. He did recommend people to go to one channel, Indy Mogul, which got teach people about how to create an equipment with limited budget.

here's tutorial for making fig rig with pvc.


tutorial for slider.


indy mogul not just teach viewers how to create equipment, they also teach us how to create visual effects.

for example, how to make a hole in the chest.


or how to make head shot effect

Wk 12- Less is more, More is less

Based on my research on "less is more", it is mean simplicity and minimalism. What is simplicity? In Wikipedia, Simplicity is the state or quality of being simple. It usually relates to the burden which a thing puts on someone trying to explain or understand it. Something which is easy to understand or explain is simple, in contrast to something complicated. Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is set out to expose the essence, essentials or identity of a subject through eliminating all non-essential forms, features or concepts. 

Design should be less (simple but can straight to the point to bring out the meaning), then the impact is more. If we put exceed design element, it will bring negative impact, and it lost the function, become less. which is mean "more is less".

3 eco ads from Akatu Institute can clearly explain less is more , more is less.
