Future zoo design

An international architecture firm, Bjarke Ingels Group has proposed a radical overhaul of the traditional zoo concept, where humans will be the ones kept in enclosures and the animals will roam free. Denmark-based Bjarke Ingels Group has plans to transform the 45-year-old Danish Givskud Zoo into a "Zootopia," by creating large natural environments for animals to live and enclosed spaces where visitors can observe the animals. "It is our dream – with Givskud – to create the best possible and freest possible environment for the animals' lives and relationships with each other and visitors."  

The design is very futuristic and simple. The Initial plans of the redesign show three distinct areas where the animals will be able to live and roam freely: "America," "Asia" and "Africa." All of the areas will be connected by a central square, a circular enclosed area that will blend into the natural environment. This square will serve as a starting point for the zoo's visitors. Their plans on the different ares of the zoo is very amazing as three different country of animal is surrounding you in a form of circle. Beside the central on viewing this animal in a distance, their created different way to explore the animal in the zoo in short distance. Such as using different transport like car, cable car, boat and more.  

A key element of the redesign is that all of the animal environments will be built to simulate their natural environments, while the visitor buildings will be obscured or integrated into the natural landscape as much as possible. They did a very good design as let the animal back to the nature without lock them in a cage and it inspire me to think more on the future and not to lock yourself out. 

Ice bucket challenge (donation)

ALS is a disease could cost a lot to stop the ache of the body and normal people can't afford to cure the disease. So, the ALS association tried an creative way to promote the donation and to tell the world about ALS. 

 The full ALS defination is Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. 

 I feel sorry for the people who get this scary disease which could be solve easily and will getting worst rapidly and unconsciously. ALS used an event as THE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE to make the world recognize them. To do the ice bucket challenge is just pouring ice water from the head and get cold. Some people say is to experience the ache that ALS patients had everyday. After filming the ice bucket challenge remember to hashtags #alsicebucketchallange and more. The way to get attention and raising fund for the association is creative and  Significance. The way they doing this challenge has inspire me and make me feel awareness of ALS. They promote the charity as a success that many celebrities and famous did it. The donation race 62.5 million and on-going.
This guy made a very heartbreaking video to tell his hardness to the peoples to think fun on ALS. He is a very brave and strong to face his situation, family and sickness .

Invisible in New York City

Trina Merry body paints people to blend with NYC architecture. In her series of art creation. She use the human body acting as a living canvas, Brooklyn-based artist Trina Merry paints landscapes and scenes, which seamlessly merge into their surrounding urban environment. New York City is the backdrop for merry’s meticulously illustrated architectural structures and landmarks, which are carefully detailed onto the nude bodies of female models. 

The Brooklyn bridge, Guggenheim museum and coney island’s vibrantly colored entrance gates are a few of the sites that are camouflaged onto the human forms, blending them together as if they were one. 

The building is painted very detail on the model as you can see clearly in the photo.  Also, The position is well fit to the real structure of the building and the scenery even the colour of the sky is matched nicely. The control of the colour is very good. Lastly, the idea of doing this project is very cool and creativity which bring out the meaning of humans are being "eaten" by the environment of the city. By the way, the model is wearing a pair of colour shoes that bring out the meaning of hope to be seen in the city. It is quite meaningful to me as now I am staying in the city which is crowded and noising.

Painting her model, Jessica Mellow and constantly vanishing her into part of the scenery.

Jessica Mellow describe  "You feel the transformation process. The brush itself, it's really soft. It feels more like a massage."

 

Every single changes of the scenery had troubled her to keep redraw or add-on the new movement of the street.

Cop tried to stopped her doing the painting as the model is naked and the law of NY doesn't allow it. 

  
Finally, she get through all the troubles and having a final check of her product.

smallest set of stop motion

By Sumo Science again. This video is sponsor by Nokia and using a microscope and smartphone to film it. They attach the microscope and smartphone and use the pixel camera to film it. The background is made by many material such as coin, pencil, needle, fabric, button, flower and etc. They material they use is very creativity and impress me with the tiny movement that make the movement of the character collaborate well with the background. They use tiny object to replace the original object which i think is pretty interesting.  Especially, the wave using pencil waste and the fish jumping around using pin and also the bee. The character is made with plastic in 12 different pose to use it repeatedly as the character is running. Every single movement of the character, they have to made at least 12 pose to bring out the smoothness of the movement. They put a lot of effort to experiment with this new technology and also invent a way to use the technology on filming. The storyline is simple as her world is destroy with the wave and she is running away in the tiny word that they created . The character is 9 millimeter tall and 50 replacement poses of the character. They make 4 second a day because the thing are too fragile so they must be very careful placing everything together.

World largest set of stop motion....

'Gulp' is a short film created by Sumo Science at Aardman, depicting a fisherman going about his daily catch. This project is sponsor by Nokia, so they have required to use a smartphone to do the entire shooting. The shooting location at Pendine Beach in South Wales. Every frame of this stop-motion animation was shot using a phone which is Nokia N8, with its 12 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics. The film has broken a world record for the 'largest stop-motion animation set', with the largest scene stretching over 11,000 square feet. 

Here's a film taking you behind the scenes on 'Gulp', Aardman's world record breaking short film. It reveals what went in to making such a complex film outside and away from the controlled environment of a studio, and how it was shot using a Nokia N8. They used only one day to finish the film which mean they have a very well plan on the schedule of shooting. Is pretty impressing after knowing they finish the shooting in a short period. It make's me feel that planning is very important on doing a project. If the progress is plan well, it will probably save a lot of cost and time. They also choose a great location to shot as they using sand to create different drawing and different tools to make patterns easily. The sand artist also made interesting and attractive drawing on the beach and give us more interest at the video. Also, they create and  new usage of a smartphone as to put on a higher place to film the largest of "anything". A video that less than 2 minutes used a day to film it.  They make a record of built the biggest set on stop motion video and success to bring out a creative and interesting outcome. The crew members really put a lot of effort in it which i feel success is not easy.

Surprise in Technology with Walt Disney's Mary Poppins

After watching Saving Mr.Banks, I have interested with Mary Poppins which is a 1964 film produced by Walt Disney Company. Mary Poppins is a film that live action and animation combined together and I never imagine that such a technology will happen in 1964. I feel like the dumpiest person when i know in 1964 there are such technology with machine birds, animated background with live actors. upside down room.... and more. All of them happen in Mary Poppins and their musics are fantastic. In the making of Mary Poppins, Walt Disney actually suffer a lot to get the copyright for the author, P.L Travers. Is a bit trouble to find a 1964 on internet but still i able to find it. GOD BLESS ME. The film is damn crazy good and pop up my imagination. The story is well plan and most important is a happy ending. The classical orchestra with Julie Andrew voice melt me down like ice cream. I have no clue that the birds is a machine birds when Julie Andrew sing with it. The team work of Disney inspire me a lot and it tell me that nothing is impossible when our heart is together. They combined their creativity and make the film just like how dreams look like.

Friends creative way to take fies~~~~(not only selfies)

Yup! Today all my GD friends went to Shah Alam Street Art and Gallery. Off course, is their class trip so i saw them post photos on facebook and i got pissed because them didnt even tell me they went. (although i cant follow) This is the point! their photossssss~~~ ARE INTERESTING ( so jealous about their class trip)

The combination of their poses and walls are interesting and creative. They bring out some of the playfulness and joy of the walls. Also, they play with the walls with creative poses which make me laugh so hard. When they were in the street with graffiti, I find out their imagination is powerful and creative to think what would really happen when the real thing happen to them in the graffiti.They make their imaginary on the photos and bring out creatively with young passion and happiness.The way they take the photos are interesting. Thus, full of imagination and creativity. They influence me to do the something crazier when I will go to the places. Besides,it makes me feel like wanted to visit the place they been before. And the graffiti is very cool and creative that inspire me. Although, I never been there before, I will feel the place is full of creativity. Colorful walls and especially there are creative peoples that also think out of the box which creatively doing different kind of poses on their profile pictures. In the end, the way they enjoy the moment are precious. ( I swear many ppl will wrote abt it XDXD)

Endless Time to do a Moleskine Note Book CM

Yes, is commercial again ~~ This video is given by my lecturer in animation class to see the example of stop motion skill. Stop motion means taking photo frame by frame to making a motion video... Just not to be confuse let watch this commercial... ( Please dont skip this video, is pretty AWESOME if you know how they do it )

Moleskine ® - The Official Channel (2010, Dec 2). Mini [video]. Retrieved from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dp3qf2cTJA

It have many contrast on the colour of the notebooks and the backgrounds from the beginning until ending of the commercial. And the simplicity of the paper cut bring out the daily life which people need to record down on a notebook. The tone is colourful and rich to show the playfulness. 


"The video was made using 15 extra small planners. The pages that contain animations are printed out on Moleskine A4 paper, cut out, either by hand or using a laser cutter, and glued inside the planner at 25 frames per second. Totally 533 animated pages. Shooting the video took about two weeks, total production time was five weeks, including audio editing." Moleskine, News (2010). MINI PLANNER VIDEO: THE MAKING OF [article]. Retrieved from http://www.moleskine.com/en/news/making_of_moleskine_extra_small_planners

As how the official website said, this is extremely hard working and patience to finish it. The creativity of  Rogier Wieland, visual artist has inspire me to creatively using different resource to bring up something fun and catchy. It have a very good sense to film a traditional notebook  in another way to present a younger feeling and not odd to be a notebook has to be a notebook. "Movable Notebook"  

This is the behind the scene of how they did ...

Back to BASIC

What i think is they caught my emotion and inspire me with 3 min. 

They find a model with full TATTOO on his body and paint it back to his BASIC skin colour. How a cosmetic commercial did a commercial without telling you how good is the product? I mean TELLING. They spend a long time to cover the tattoo part of his body and it freak me out . The result is damn natural and it doesnt seem his is on a make up. The producer have a brilliant mind that reverse back a person use to look like how they look like before without TATOO. Also, it SHOW us how powerful the product will be. This reverse concept have inspire me to my comic book. I could use this concept as a reference to planned something REVERSE. (FLASHBACK)  

When villain and hero...

In many films that will always come up a story line which have both villain and hero that fight like hell but the heroes always take victory in the end. Is always classically end up like this and the audience will feel happy for the same freaking ending which is expected in the beginning of the film started. But some of this films have planed their story line differently which i find out it will be a "trend" in film industry in the future, maybe... Somehow they plan to make both of the villain and hero are the same character. For example, Maleficent is both villain and hero in the movie and it is unexpected. She cursed the sleeping beauty but also giving out true love kiss to save her as well.

When the world needed a hero, they called a villain. Another one is an animation Despicable Me. The bad guy suppose the be a thief to steal the moon and threaten the world so he can get whatever he want. But he end up saving the world that return back the moon to where it belongs.

  

Both film have the similarity as villain and hero are the same character. The director have the great idea to planed it interesting that surprised the audience. This have inspired me to imagine or think out of the rule that limited us with repeated idea which is no surprise.  Evils are not always evils and heroes are no longer heroes anymore.

It is time to get inspired

Coca Cola is blowing my mind with full of creativity on advertising. They created a different way to promote they product.On their YouTube channel, they are a butch of creative promote video and it inspired me to think out of the box. their team created a payphone station using Coca Cola bottle cap as a coin to make a 3 min call. the machine is for foreigners in Dubai to call home to they beloved family and friends. It is very creative way and makes me come out and idea  to do something like this. World cup is started in this week. Maybe energy drink or coffee product can promote their stuff using this way. To get a free sample or drinks, the people must kick a ball to the goal. Another way is a machine will throw a ball to them and they must be a goal keeper to catch the ball. The event will be fun for the people and having interaction with them. They might remember the product using the creative way just like what Coca Cola did.
