Assignment 2 Process

1. The data and graphics needed are collected and edit in Adobe Photoshop.

2. The edited data and graphics are then import to Flash and start to arrange the setup of the video and  implement animation by Motion Tween. I started with the middle scene (food section).

3. The animating continues to bring more elements inside. The hands are animated such as it will change the flow of movement at the interval of 10 seconds.

4. The final part of the hands motion change.

5. The hands started to disassemble the second scene in order to move to the final scene.

6. The final scene of the animation indicated the ending of the info-motion, depicting the total amount of money spent in a week food delivery.

7. Finally, back to the first scene, rather the making of the opening of the info-motion. This part is the last part to animate since the flow is still in develop.

8. The first scene (the menu).

9. Now that the animation almost finish, the preparation and configuration of background music and sound effect is done in Audacity.

10. The background music and sound effects are added to the flash. Make sure the sound be where it suppose is.

11. After that, the animation is ready to test. If no problem, the animation will be exported to avi Video.

12. The exported avi Video is 1.08GB which is very big so the compression to mp4 is needed to greatly shrinked the size to 14+MB.

Assignment II The Info-motion - Data Gathering

Literally, my subject is the food delivery that I ordered and recorded regarding what food(type), and the prices of the order.

Here is the result

A Summary of Subject and its Reason

After a brief discussion with Mr Badrolhisham, I decided to make a non-electronic media presentation which  can be called a small installation diagram with interactivity for audience. The subject will be Air Pollution Index and the area of data collection will focus on Selangor. I decided to use dust masks (primary option) while PVC-made asthma inhalers still an appealing option as the main highlight. The background design will be focus on recent haze incident in Malaysia.

The reason of the choice  is due to the Indonesian forest burning activities which has effect South-east Asia particularly on Singapore and the south part of Peninsula of Malaysia. Johor, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka suffered the worse while KL, Selangor and Pahang are in tight spot. The 'misty-brown' covering also made its way to Cyberjaya, Selangor which is where I am staying to pursue my multimedia experience in Multimedia University. With the figure of API 160+- (prompt more or less), the air around MMU is hard to breathe for somebody who is sensitive. I am a little bit sensitive so mostly I stay in my rented room and hope for a clean cool wind which come at 26 June when rain with its strong wind temporarily blown the thick haze away. At last, clean air for a first time in almost a week time. But the haze will or might be back tomorrow as environmental scientists stated that the thick coating of dust and smoke might stay until August if the situation goes on. My subject will be a reminder for us that even clean, soothing and fresh oxygen is a bless even though it is considered a common privilege for many of us including me, myself.
