Day 1 and Day 2 - Victor Phua

Day 1 - Visit to MBC (Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation)


I felt that the News Station and the Radio Station are somewhat similar in their broadcasting. They both make use of in-door studios to carry out their broadcasting, through several equipments; like mikes, control panels and scripts. Usually the director or the editor will pass instructions to the news broadcastor or the DJ that is situated on the inside; who is currently relaying the news/broadcast.

This video cam is used to feature and capture the programs' films and programs that is being showcased and broadcasted.

I feel that the visit to the MBC is quite good, as I am amazed at how the direction and the broadcasting of the radios and television is being carried out. I never knew what is done prior to a particular program or news anchor. I am also amazed at one of the DJs, who is rather entertaining and amusing; perhaps one of the traits that defines a good DJ?



Day 2 - Visit to the Picto Studio

Today, I learnt about what goes into the clay and styrofoam which is being used to apply into animation concepts. I find it fascinating that just by from CLAY !

Usage of clay can be done professionally into a lifelike 2D or 3D object and thus, used in animation; all just by moulding clay into different directions and positions in order to be animated.

One of the masterpieces created using a combination of clay, styrofoam and some certain chemicals, as well as various other types of equipments.

Blue Screen seems to be significant as a 2D backdrop for reflecting certain effects of some areas in an animation; exactly, what its being done in films at the MBC.

Showing how they create the design for the earlier masterpiece, except its for a mountain area.

So far, this visit to Picto Studio is a great one. I am awed by all of those quite realistic clay figurines and of how they made the animation more lifelike and real ! Their current production, which has been shown to us as an animated video, is pretty good and nice to see. The animation is really awesome that it sure takes alot of teamwork, effort, passion and patience to create such wonderful arts of animations. It is good learning on how they created such excellent clay figurines and on how they did their animations; the processes and everything. I am impressed by many of their masterpieces, which are really good; everything is noted down to the smallest details. I have learnt on how many of the processes works and on how they are really done.
