My own MMV (Do YoU Wi3h W3'D FaLL iN Lov3?) [Beta]

Since it's the last post, I decided to post one of my recently (but not yet finished, hence Beta) MMV (Manga Music Video). I know my drawing is really bad but it's just a sketch for now...I'm going to improve and finish it when I finish my assignments.

Song: The Saltwater Room
Artist: Owl City
Drawing, Editing and Ideas are all originally from me. (I just wanted to say it....hehe...)

This is the last week for our blog assignment. Mr Radzi gave us random word brainstorming. We are supposed to create scary images or objects that will instill fear among people throughout the ages.

The random word is kitten. I decided to use the kitten's characteristics which is the eyes, claws and teeth.

At first I decided that cats eyes are scary because they glow in the dark and the have yellow pupils, which gives off an eerie feeling. 

Then i thought that the teeth of a cat/kitten is scary too. I thought that if we put something sharp like a cat's teeth as an entrance will scare people away. Imagine walking into the mouth as you watch the teeth above and below you. Human minds tend to play a trick or 2 during these situation and you will hallucinate that the teeth is dripping with blood and that it is closing to eat you up. 

Cat's claws as a scary warning works for me as well. It can be used as a a sign and it will be like 'Come and meet your death' kind of sign for people. 

Creative ads

I found some really funny and creative ads on the internet. Here are some pictures from them:

This week Mr Radzi gave us a piece of A3 paper and asked us to copy down some words from the screen. He then told us to randomly select 3 sets of numbers. Once selected, the number will give you the word we are going to use for this so-called 'game'.

I got the words Fly and Root, Lightning and Wood, and Leaf and Rock.

For exercise 1, we are to make a sentence using these words to link the 2 words together. This is what I have done.

-A insect is flying above the tree root.
-The lightning set the wood on fire.
-There is a leaf on the rock.

For Exercise 2. we are to draw out this sentences to visualize it.

Then for exercise 3, we have to combine these 2 words together. For me, my new words would be Flyroot, Lightningwood and Leafrock. We have to draw out a picture that will describe these new words. 

                                                      

For exercise 4, Mr Radzi shows us a picture of a chilly. We were to use chilly's characteristic and make a love poem/verse for a boyfriend/girlfriend, like a love letter. 

This is the love poem I came up: 

Love is like biting into a chilly. I'll feel hot and spicy, but once it's over I'll want to try again because you make everything so appetizing. Soon, I'll be addicted to you because you look so sexy. 

He then told us to go back and choose 5 pictures that he uploaded in MMLS and do the exact same thing. 

Life is like a oil lamp. It will give you hopes and dreams, but all of it is short-lived if we don't work hard. Just like the oil in the lamp, if we just ignore it, it will soon be used up and the light shall be no more. However if we constantly refill it, the light will shine even brighter than the rest. So work hard towards your dreams.

Pain is like when you are taking a huge bite of an ice cream. The taste of sweetness and creaminess will last a second, before you get brain freeze for a few minutes. Pain is exactly like that. When you hurt yourself you won't feel a thing, but after a few seconds you will feel pain and you don't even know why. 

Life is like having multiple credit cards. When you earned it, you will have a lot of fun without worries. However, if you overdo it, thousands of problems will come to you. If you decide to escape it. you will destroy your own future and life. 

Time waits for no man. Happiness is the same as time. It will be there right in front of your eyes for a awhile, but if you don't grab it in time, you will let it slip right through your fingers.

Women are like mortar and pestle. They are loud, stubborn and hard to please. But when needed they will get the job done quickly and perfectly. 

Ironic isn't it?

Since we're talking about juxtaposition this week, I decided to search for some really ironic pictures that reflect juxtaposition.

This week we learn about juxtaposition. Juxtaposition is the arrangement of 2 or more ideas, characters, actions, settings, phrases or words side by side or in similar narrative moments for the purpose of comparison, contrast, effect, suspense, theoretical and character development.

May refer to:
1. synonymous with contrast, 2 objects or text that oppose one another.
2. random juxtaposition, 2 random objects moving in parallel, a technique intended to stimulate creativity.

Examples of juxtaposition:
-civilization/wilderness
-committed/flighty
-chaos/calm
-darkness/frivolity
-turmoil/serenity
-indifference/feeling
-east/west
-freedom/repression
-way of life/clean slate
-weakness/strength
-rationality/faith
-follower/leader
-man/nature
-love/hate
-static/change
-needed/unwanted
-unfeeling/sympathetic

Scary Creative

Sometimes creative people are just TOO scary! Here's some pictures to PROVE my point:

This week we continued our lecture on mind maps. Our lecturer asked us to choose a few words given to us and we are to think of something that can be associated with mortar and pestle. However we cannot think stereotypically, we have to think of something that is completely unrelated to the use of mortar and pestle. 

So here's what I have done: 

1. fashion-mortar as hat and pestle as earrings

2. exercise-pestle roll on thighs and mortar to step on

3. weapon-pestle to trip the robber and mortar to throw at him

4. punishment-death sentence-prisoner hold mortar and try to block the pestles thrown by officers and victims. He/she will be released if he survive

Brookful Opening (Fan-made)

This is fan made opening made....I think she drew all the characters herself. Really looks like a real opening doesn't it? Anyway, I do not own this video, all credits go to 'Robbychan' (YouTube name). Enjoy!
