INSTRUCTIONS
We had to take a self portrait and use techniques we have learnt throughout
this module to create a personal piece of artwork, as well as an animation
that compliments our personality.
PROJECT 03
We first had a photoshoot session with our classmates, each taking turns to
capture our friends' pictures.

Next, we had to start with our photoshop magic, I decided to go for a fantasy like theme, having a fairy being my main subject.

Feedback : doesn't look "fantasy" enough, avoid using a black background. Add
some clouds. lower contrast

REFLECTION
Overall, this was definitely the most challenging project as I was really struggling with the After Effects application. I didn't understand some functions which resulted in many failures while exporting my work. However, I managed to pull through and even though I think that I could do better, I was still glad that I have learned a lot from this project. Animation was never really my thing, but looking at how it is done, it didn't fail to fascinate me. In addition, I found digital surrealism interesting and never really knew the difference between realism and surrealism. Not only that, but by looking at work from previous students also inspired me for this project.
