I don’t know how to pour this feeling outside my brain, with all these words and imgs I can represent, and sometime I don’t even know the feeling whether is mine or not.
I have very difficult feeling about Japan, not all from my memories of being very young child, and try to have a new life by leaving that country, and wish be back someday in the future, to see my mother again; but also, it always affects me during my growing till today; may be these memories just like an invisible ghost, hunting me, until the day I fade away.
For the Nature disasters, it probably brings more than 16 thousands lives with it. I once experienced the mass earthquake during my study in China, it was 2008, the destructive Wenchuan earthquake, I wasn’t around epicentre, however, these people who survived during that earthquake give me the fateful impression of the disasters. And for Japan, it is the seem.
The country is reimbursable, the city can be relocated, buildings can be reconstructed, streets can be cleared , scars can be faded …. but not human.
All these memories will live on with them, this sadness, this hurt, these scars in their hearts … will be grow up with children, and pass these transporters to the future generations, and live on.

今日も朝は来た　涙はもう枯れ果てた

kyou mo asa wa kita namida wa mou karehateta
Even today, morning came; my tears were already dry

大切な人たちや　いろんなものを亡くしたけど

taisetsuna hitotachiya ironnamono wo nakushitakedo
Precious people lost lots of things, but

「なんで僕だけ生きているの？

“nande bokudake ikiteiruno?
“Why am I the only one alive?

ひとりで、僕だけ、ここに立ってるの？」

hitoride, bokudake, koko ni tatteruno?”
Alone, by myself, standing in this place?

それは生きるためでしょう

sore wa ikirutamedeshou
That’s to live

生きて、語り継ぐためでしょう

ikite, kataritsugutamedeshou
Live, and to spread the word

だから、生きて、生きて・・・

dakara, ikite, ikite…
That’s why, live, live…

明日は、どうなるか分からないけれど

ashitawa, dounaruka wakaranaikeredo
I don’t know how tomorrow will be

きっとまた朝はやって来るから

kitto mata asa wa yattekurukara
But morning will surely come

あなたのためにある明日（みらい）だよ

anata no tameni aru mirai dayo
So the future is for you

逃げ出さないで、明日を信じて、

nigedasanaide, asu wo shinjite

Don’t run away, believe in tomorrow

強く、ほら強く、

tsuyoku, hora tsuyoku
strongly, please strongly

「生きて」

“ikite”
“Live”

 

 

Project: The Ark 12

This idea comes out when the drawing class on this Wednesday afternoon.
Our tutor, a very kind Lady ask us to draw something as perspective drawing or others.
Be honesty, I never attend any other professional drawing class besides these ‘Arts’ classes we asked to attend in elementary school and secondary schools, lol.
And I didn’t really understand what the ‘Perspective drawing’ is … anyway, as I’m not at drawing, sketching, or perspective … so I drew this instead.

Der Schwarm

Swarm must be one of the most beautiful things of the earth, and for the bussiness, I find one of company using this idea for the cig ads,

here it is

Lucky Strike: Der Schwarm

After a long pitch phase which involved many different visual concepts, we came upon the idea to use the dynamic movement of the anchovy fish-swarm from the film “Finding Nemo” in this Lucky Strike cinema ad. We developed a special 3D software which could manipulate the masses of Luckys packs as a swarm. In this way, a hugely effective type-face animation reached the cinema.

PLAY: MOVIE

This one not the very ‘Der Schwarm’ as I expected, I mean the swarm behavior as fish or birds, but the designer represent how other objects can be an swarm. (I’m writing as confuse myself, lol)
I don’t very like this one, but I think it still can learn a lots from this clip.

Done!

Nature Swarm

I love the movement of Fish Swarm, Just Wondering if I can used same movement when I build my title sequence for Greenwatch.
How about make the keywords as fishes, when the keys swarms as fish, then highlight the staff name or important keywords for different color, or, even highlight them just like them shining?

Have to work out this one.

From Wiki,

Swarm describes a behaviour of an aggregate of animals of similar size and body orientation, often moving en masse or migrating in the same direction. Swarming is a general term that can be applied to any animal that swarms. The term is applied particularly to insects, but can also be applied to birds, fish, various microorganisms such as bacteria, and people. The term flocking is usually used to refer to swarming behaviour in birds, while the terms shoaling or schooling are used to refer to swarming behaviour in fish. The swarm size is a major parameter of a swarm.

A.I Teaser Trailer

A.I. Artificial Intelligence – Teaser Trailer

In the not-so-far future the polar ice caps have melted and the resulting raise of the ocean waters has drowned all the coastal cities of the world. Withdrawn to the interior of the continents, the human race keeps advancing, reaching to the point of creating realistic robots (called mechas) to serve him. One of the mecha-producing companies builds David, an artificial kid which is the first to have real feelings, especially a never-ending love for his “mother”, Monica. Monica is the woman who adopted him as a substitute for her real son, who remains in cryo-stasis, stricken by an incurable disease. David is living happily with Monica and her husband, but when their real son returns home after a cure is discovered, his life changes dramatically.

Fringe Theme

Fringe

Fringe is another American TV show, the main theme of the show is about ‘fringe science’, which is considered as ‘questionable science’ as well. But for the science knowledge in reality, most of the science technology is reasonable but the stories and use of these technologies are far too ‘pseudoscience’.
