Week 9 
(22/10/19)

For our Final, we are required to make our own Futuristic city whether it's utopia or dystopia. So we need to do the still after that we have to make an animation from it. First thing to do is making the sketch but I'm not sure what to do and I don't know what is utopia or dystopia so I find out first what is utopia & dystopia and I search for an inspiration that maybe will give me an idea.

Fig 1.1: Dystopia 1

Fig 1.2: Dystopia 2

Fig 1.3: Utopia 1

Fig 1.4: Utopia 2

Fig 1.5: Utopia 3

After discovering, seeing the pictures & asking my friend about what is utopia and dystopia I decided to do utopia city because I don't like destruction & chaos I prefer more like a happy city & cool future. Then I sketch my idea.

Fig 1.6: Sketch idea

So my idea is inspired by 'The Cloudy meatball' movie when a guy creates a machine and that machine flies into the sky and effected the clouds so the clouds create foods and spilling the foods to earth, my idea is kinda similar to that movie. But I made my the backstory different.

My Idea Backstory 
In 2600, this world is cursed by unknown meteor that hit the sun and the clouds. And this meteor contains a very big impact pollution from the other galaxy called Gaylors (Galaxy of Taylors) but thank God that pollution is not detrimental to humanity on earth. So this is a good curse. But scientist discovered this is not good for humanity it causes a disease called 'Phantasmagoria' that made human emotional not stable (Easy to cry & laugh so hard) & everyone can become obesity so the government try to clean & reorganize the city and limit the amount of food so that we can still enjoy the foods.


Feedback

Mr.Martin said Okay but he's confused about my idea he told me to try first. Then I ask feedback from my friends and they said it's interesting but another person said it's weird & it's not a utopia.



Week 10
(29/10/19)

I try to make my idea. But it's hard for me to find the picture that matches what I want. But I just give it a try first.

Fir 2.1: Materials

And it turns out really weird. And it's a failed.

Fig 2.2: Result

Fig 2.3: Materials attempt 2

Fig 2.4: Result

Feedback

Not asking feedback because it's a fail.


Week 11
(05/11/19)

Fig 3.1: My new sketch Idea

So this idea is inspired by a movie called 'Interstellar' where this planet earth is going to die and it's not good for human and NASA try to find a new home for humanity.

Fig 3.2: Interstellar movie

So I try to make my idea into photoshop.

Fig 3.4: Material 2 (High building)

Fig 3.5: Material 3 

Fig 3.6: Material 4

Fig 3.7: Result

Feedback

When I showed this to Mr.Martin he said this is interesting and he likes the idea but he told me to do it on the landscape.

Week 12
(12/11/19)

After I got feedback that I must do it / better do it on the landscape, I redo it again.

Fir 4.1 : Materials

Fig 4.5: Final Result

Feedback 

When I show this to Mr.Jeff he said wow and he likes it. Then I ask what should I improve then he said this is already okay and cool.


Week 13 - Week 14
(19/11/19 - 26/11/19)

The next step is making the animation in after effect. I'm Thinking to put a cloud so it can move and UFO rays emanating from the spaceship.

Fig 5.1: Doing in on After effect

Then the final I made two, one with the ' approaching night ' and the normal one.

Fig 5.2: Result 1

Fig 5.3: Result 2

Then I ask Mr.Jeff and Mr.Martin how is this? And then they say that's good and ask me which one I like the most and I say the second one, then he gave me feedback for improvement and I try it what they suggested me to do.

Fig 5.4: Improvement In Photoshop

Fig 5.5: Improvement in After Effect

So here are the result. I made 2 version.

Fig 5.6: Final 1

My Idea Backstory
In 4070, all beings on the earth move to the planet 'Earth 2.0' because earth that we're living now is not producing oxygen anymore 2000 years from now. So scientist discovered that there's a new planet in another galaxy that is saved for the human to live in and that's why they named it 'Earth 2.0' and the surface is different from the old earth it's curved inward and the gravitation is the same on earth. So all the human on earth move to this planet in 3521 and arrived in a year of 4000 and this is the condition after 70 years later, we use UFO as our public transportation and we become friends with the aliens and together we cooperate to build this city become a better and peaceful place to live.
