My Monster?

9th September 2013; My Monster?!

 3D Fundamentals. One of the many modules I am currently undertaking in my first year at NAFA pursuing my diploma for Illustration design with animation. Part of a foundation course for all students that has been enrolled this year. This, is one of the many projects that we were tasked to do.

Sugei Road; Flea Market

 This project, we were required to go ‘hunting’ for materials. Preferably to get some old unused items from a flea market. We were first brought to Sungei road, which was near our school. Being a Singaporean for about 21 years now. That trip was the first time I’ve ever been there. It was truly a sight. There were things all over. Sort of like a wet market, but instead of food. It was all old appliances like radio watches and all sort of stuff that screams nostalgia.

I got hold of 2 old film cameras and a keyboard to work with for this project. The task was to deconstruct (take apart) the objects that we got and put it together, to from something. Be it a sculpture or a display object. As long as it changes the meaning of the initial object that was used.

After much thought and development, from trying to construct a robot, to eventually becoming a gorilla. The process was head cracking and tons of problem solving involved. Like, how we can get the join up the different parts and make sure it doesn’t fall apart. It isn’t exactly complete at this stage, but at least I’m glad I have the main structure down.

This is actually the 3rd project, out of the 4 we are expected to complete by the end of the module. We will also be graded from this 4 projects we have done up.

Overall, I enjoy doing all these craft works and am really proud of my masterpieces. I definitely look forward to the last project. But then again, as week 11 closes in, we have piles and piles of work that we have to complete and make it in time for our assessment by then! Boy oh boy!
