STING - First scene test. I can animate. Hire me now.

• Couldn't seem to get the timing just right yet. It could be longer since the scenes were happening a tad bit too fast for people to understand what's going on.

STING - Sound Testing with Premiere Pro

• I quite like the convenient use of After Effects. Though I am not quite satisfied with its audio settings. 
• Personally I am more comfortable using with Premiere Pro. But for this sting in particular it is very helpful in terms of layering sounds/sound effects 

STING - animating is hard

• Did a little testing here and there with short dissolving animations and transitions

• Quite satisfied with how the sound effects of the footsteps and scribbling turned out (all originally recorded and made by myself)

STING - Storyboarding

• Feedbacks: simple animation + combination of simple sounds, extension of a GIF?Subtle movements

• From the suggestions, I would perhaps try out a scrolling sequence of the prints I made, with subtle movements and the little Murakami walking by

• Sound wise, I have started to record my own sounds of everyday moments (traffic, foot steps etc), though I might look into some jazz instrumentals as it suits Murakami's interest/tone of voice

PRINTED PICTURES - Presentation 

ISSUN BOSHI

• This is actually one of my favorite picture book. The hardback cover makes it much more satisfying when reading through the book, like a steady hold

• Visual and text wise it is very coherent with the words incorporated within the pictures. I quite like that they left the very first page and last page one block color with brief text on it/blurb

RISE AND FALL

• In terms of packaging it is quite simple. However it works well with a panorama concertina as it flows through seamlessly 

• I initially came across this in a gallery gift shop. The paper stock is quite thick, I am assuming it was card paper? Though it keeps the concertina sturdy

• It is also interesting to see a little instruction at the beginning on how the concertina should be read as well as the author's biography at the last page
