INTRODUCTION

As creative multimedia students, I am required to create an individual project work on it as a

final year project. In order to make the project, I have to propose the ideas, the steps, the
process, tools and software which I will use during my FYP work. This proposal will go
through my supervisor as she will determine either my proposed project feasible or not.

Animation is trending in world view right now. There are big companies in Malaysia that are
the backbone of this industry such as Les Copaque, Animonsta and WAU. Their product hit
and reached the international market. Animation creates movement of a character and
makes it sequence. It will appear alive and have a story to tell. People love animation rather
than reading. With animation it can boost up the ways of education and information sharing
which our brain triggers to memorize better than reading.

1.1 Project Overview

1.1.1 Project Background
(The bond) is an animation specially developed frame by frame animation using
krita?/Photoshop? software. (The bond) tells a story about a young boy who recently
lost his father due to crime and violence. His father has responsibilities as a police officer
and died during his work. This young boy has its rough days after days until a big factor
changes his life. This story is for those who have lost something important and have a lot
of trouble moving on with their lives. Although it is not many who suffer this illness
there are still people who need encouragement from other people but unfortunately no
one knows. Hopefully this animation will remind people that some people need
motivation to move on from tough spots.

The bond used frame by frame animation as main tools in order to ensure the
smoothness of the movement.

one of the symbols of Malaysian which is keris. This company was established officially in
February 2021. Our company’s specialty is creating animation. KerisToon Production

tradition. As general as a weapon.

pen symbolizing the tool of the

company uses animation as a
weapon/tool to spread awareness

1.3 target user

1.3.1 demographic
KerisToon Production’s main target audience for this animation is mostly kids
and young adults which is around 12-40 years old. It targets those young parents
who struggle in early state of marriage show one of many ways to trigger
happiness to our family by letting a little happiness run around the house. It can
be small matters to adults but it can be the world in the perspective of the child.
There are many children who lost their parents, siblings, family through this day
from a lot of factors. Crime and violence rate increase day by day, and the world
can become a dangerous place to some people. But that does not mean the end
for them. We as people need to help each other during tough times.

1.4 project scope
1.4.1 ideation/concept
The reason I would like to propose this idea is because I got inspired from the
YouTube animator in his video called the walk. In that series the main character
found his soulmate because of his dog. They live happily together. Days after
days the dog grew older. Their lifespan is short so the dog says goodbye first. It
is sad but his spouse comforts him the best as she can. That is the way of life.
We may lose many people but new people can give as much love as the
previous. We can’t stay at one spot not moving on falling into the pit of failure.

1.4.2 interface design

As for the interface design, animation uses darker colors for the early part. The
reason it is dark is symbolic to the sadness of this young boy due to the loss of
his father. The world has become sad places. The users will understand the
sorrow of this boy and feel the lost too. For part 2 which the cat comes to their
life. I will use brighter colors which resemble joy and happiness. The user feels
the same way as this young boy.

2.1 Software/Hardware Used

Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and

published by Adobe Inc. for Windows and macOS. It was
originally created in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then,
the software has become the industry standard not only in
raster graphics editing, but in digital art as a whole. The
software's name has thus become a generic trademark, leading
to its usage as a verb (e.g. "to photoshop an image",
"photoshopping", and "photoshop contest") although Adobe
discourages such use.

2.2 technique Used

In Adobe Photoshop, I need to change the workstation to animation to view the frame by frame setting
and the bottom of the interfaces. the frame by frame can be set at the bottom as the layer we create. I
draw every layer of frame to make my object move according to animation that I imagine. I turned on
the onion skin to refer the drawing before and after to accurately draw my object that make the
animation smooth and senses. After frames I drew, the animation become smooth. I colored every layer
using bucket tool. I use the magic wand and expand to 1 pixel technique that I got from youtube to color
my object.

3. Project Methodology
3.1 Production Process

I came out with the idea to create animation to propose to the supervisor as my project. Then, I started to
make the storyboard to visualize my upcoming animation. So I will not lost track when I draw my animation.
Next, I will consult with the supervisor to improvise my storyboard. Next, I draw my character design. I have
4 main character which is David, Suzy, John, and Jojo. Every character have their own characteristic which
make them special. I will consult with miss about the character to seek approval from them

very simple English language which will be easy to understand and esasy
