Iam studying Multimedia Broadcasting on Electronics Engineering Polytechnic Institute of Surabaya. And now we are on holiday! I've joined MMBAnimation community, and we learn more about animation there. We have done stop motion project before. In this holiday we have a 3D Animation project called "Project Ayam" but, you can translate it with "Chicken Project".

I want share just a little about our community project. We are updating the process on MMBAnimation official blog. You can keep update with our project, but on community project we are using Bahasa Language. If you want to read it, maybe you need to translate using google translate.

The Chicken Project with MMBAnimation Community is still running, there is i want share how to set the material with the topology edge while rendering. So, you can share your model and get comment about your model topology. Because the topology is important thing when you adding rig on the character.

Before you do this step, you must have an object on 3D view. In this post, Iam using chicken character from our community project. Called anak ayam.

I've talking about pre production and production before, there is i want talking about post production. Post production is the last process of film making. There is thing must to do. Like Color correction, Compositing, Editing Video / Sequence, Sound and promotion. I just want to try explain what i know about post production.

Color Correction, this process is to match every scene. Because not every scene have same color, sometimes we need some part of scene looks bright and another scene look so glow. We can create ambient effect like romance, horror or fun with the color shceme.

Color Correction

Editing Video, combining the scene for get continuous story like on storyboard. Because we do not finish all scene sequentially. The level of every scene is not same, there is many complicated scene and there is many simply scene. We can finish simply scene faster than complicated scene include when rendering. Complicated scene need more time for rendering than simply scene. With editing video, we can arrange the scene like on storyboard and get the storyline

Editing Video

Sound, every film need sound effect. Without sound, the film is so bored and not felt. Sound is very important. If your film is bad, you can improve it on sound. Sound can create ambient effect like horror, happy, confuse, fun and other.

Visual Effect, is process adding more effect to your video. Like tsunami, flash of lighting. You can merging the greenscreen and the effect on this process. Like on Mango Project.

Promotion, is process to promote the film. It will spend half of production budget. I've read on many article about comparison of production and promotion is 40 : 60. Although a lot of free media campaign like mouth to mouth, social network, blog network and other. But the cost of promotion still high. This cost for promotion on TV, Roadshow, Touring, Poster and other.

I have opinion about the production. In the production of movie, the most time consuming process is production. Production is very much resource-consuming, therefore it is advisable to maximize the Pre Production, so that when the production can be more effective and fullest. So they can save money too. If you can timely according to the timeline is very good, Even if forced to stall for one part, it's better to buy time for longer in pre-production process.

Blender is GREAT software, the function is more than enough for 3D animation. The community was GREAT too like the software, you can download many thing source file! For what? You can use it for education, commercial and other, you FREE to use the source! Sometime, when i've download source file  i don't understand what the creator use for it, so i must surf in blog to understand. There is, i want share, how to create custom shape rig.

When you download the source file, sometimes you can't find the bone / armature, but you just need to move in pose mode variety of shape. You can call it custom shape. Because the function is same like bone, the custom shape rig just change the rig shape into what we like. There is the example of shape rig. 

Storyboard is like a comic, they are visualizaton of the story with the detail of scene. I've heard quote " A picture can tell 1000 word". I think it was from PIXAR. With storyboard, let the picture tell the story. Good storyboard is make the audience know the story without hear from the script writter. Storyboard will be help on production and post production.

Last week, i've a homework with processing. It make me work hard on processing, because it's not easy for newbie like me. I must creating fade in animation for four picture. For do it quickly you need great math. Because for do it need if math logic. And for a long time i don't get math lesson :D. But, i can do this homework correctly (i think). There is i want share about my homework with processing. The result like this video
