Its exactly a year since I update this journal hahah.
Till now I almost disconnecting myself anyhing on virtual world, including my own email, with no particular reason. Could be that I'm extremely lazy?
Currently I'm in the final year of my degree, and I'm taking Animation as my final project.
I'm not creating a 3D nor flash animation, but I try to create animation style similar to anime.
It's quite though actually because I need to do the research all by myself. In 5 years of studying here I only gather only few basic knowledge of animation, while others are programming and IT business related subjects.
Although I do regret that I dont get the knowledge that I longing for, thank god the university give the students opportunity to choose their own Final Project. At least I still can pursue my ambition rather than follow whatever they lay for me.
Many people dont realise that whenever they step into a world of college or university, they actually can no longer depend on their teacher/lecturer. There are no longer a side which give the knowledge and a side which accept the knowledge. Difference between student in schools and students in university/college is that student in university/college are actually researcher! So do the lecturer!.
When in class, student in uni/college should listen to whatever the lecturer teaching in front. Once the class end, the student should research whatever they got in class before and deep the knowledge deeper. The reason is because all the lecturer only teach basics!
If you do get an A without digging deeper, you only masters the basics! nothing else. Until you dig deeper, you can never do anything 'real' with the knowledge you got other than completing given assignment. This is very true for programming related subjects and software depended subject such as 3D animation.
Anyway in my country, which is Malaysia, finding institution that offers animation related classes, especially 2D Animation like anime is quite though. If you do have the same ambition like me, which is creating Anime, remember that whatever University/college that you end up to, you can always persue your dream as long as you keep researching, practicing and work hard.
