Reflection on Assignment 3

The idea of assignment 3 was developed from previous assignments which were about fences and “challenging the fence”. The word “chaos” was selected from the ten nominated words. In addition these ten words represented important points from my previous assignments.

Therefore in the assignment 3, I played with the idea of chaos. It was believed that “chaos” substantially represents disorder. However, I saw this word as an opportunity to express dynamic or energetic movements within an urban environment. The idea had been expanded in relationship to architecture. The theme building of the movie is based on this expression of “chaos”.

I admit that the expansion of the idea of “chaos” is one of difficulties among the projects. This idea is the center of the whole project.

Furthermore, when I animated the 3dmax clip, it took days to render the reflection and refraction of the glass materials. It was one of the painful jobs. It was not only time- consuming, but also when the rendered results were not satisfactory, it needs more efforts to find and fix the problems.

Nonetheless, the project trains my 3dmas abilities as well as video editing. Hopefully, I can apply this kind of 3d presentation skills to my graduation project next year.
