Recently, us FID students went for a trip to Tioman Island off the coast of Mersing, Johor. You could say that we came back with boat loads of memories and experiences. What better way for a Principles of Design lecturer to take advantage of that by tasking us to document our trip by drawing storyboards and recreating them with different, unique methods.
From the storyboard, we moved on to fleshing them out, with suggestions and advice by our lecturer. The process was time-consuming to say the least, and personally, I was stuck trying to figure out new ways to recreate those drawings. I used watercolour, painted on plastic, and drew on felt, among other things. In the end, there were a few hits and misses but the results were satisfactory, as evidenced by the lack of screaming when I showed my assignment to the class today.
I compiled each scene and made them into a short video (song credits is Outro by M83). I also tied them together into a mini book. The lecturer liked the variety of textures in the book eg. watercolour paper and felt. Needless to say, I'm fairly proud of it too (3 sleepless nights and all).
