幾好波！
不過首配樂就系最差了，系咪游戲機D歌來架？
配埋動作聲音會更好！
lighting seems very good!

HONG KONGer :

多謝你的意見!
其實音樂方向我真的要多謝我的好朋友，扙意相助！因為時間太短，只有數小時，第二天早上他便要去上海幫Orchestra錄音，也肯幫我做音樂，結果由下午六時搞到晚上四時，他還要剩早機呢！真不好意思！其實在這什短的時間做到咁我是十分滿意、有些地方他也把我做得不好的地方救番曬！有些地方也加入了一些優默感！對整體來講幫助很大，當然如果有一兩個星期給他，當然會好好多，此終他們是專業音樂人在專業的錄音室做的配樂。

hi akin,

Great work, the wet skin of the frog look good and I know what U want to tell in this story too

Something I would suggest to improve is the frog's animation, it can be a bit more cartoony and snappy, also some stronger key pose can make it more interesting.
some shot are a little bit too long in my opinion, this is easy to fix in editing.
I think you should do a stylized 3d Sky rather that using real sky footage as I think it just don't match the style of your animation.

But it still a good animation, all of us can be that Frog

keep up the good work.

睡不著！還是上來望望！
TDK兄 : 多謝你的意見呢！這次我是很想真的用動畫來講故事！有人明白我真的很感動！由故事到制作真的花了一個多月時間，一個人四部PC，每日二＋四小時長開netRender足足一個多月，單是冷氣費己好金，還有推了一個多月Job，沒有錢也繼續去，有時覺得自己瘋了，有時不斷失敗不斷嘗試,不斷失敗不斷嘗試，也有一下子想放棄停止，但想到為了自已的理想，少少辛苦又算什麼呢！
還有看到Dick Ma不斷努力地創作自己的作品，我又怎能放棄自已的創作呢！今天的生活環境，大家都切身體會到。能夠在惡劣的環境自強不息，譚何容易呢！
沒有人是完美的，但總有值得學習的地方！唔知自己講左去邊！
動作方面真的要花多些時間學習，我在Charactor set up 時手腳做得不好，因為故事裡有很多爬牆的動作，而且牆是弧形的,Ik Move 時會影響到手腳插穿牆，結果手指腳指的每一節骨都要Frame by frame 咁Key！花了大量的時間！所以我下次一定要Fix到這過問題！！
問題真的天天都多，我只有一個人，一個月時間，為有在這些條件下找到個平衡點！有很多地方可以好D，這些失敗的地方希望可以變成下次的經驗啦！
結果我在獨立短片Deadline前三分鍾交件！半小時前五部機一起Render！連
部Notebook都出埋！！過程十分緊刺激！

hi akin,

the cg is very great!
i love the story so much!! and agree with it very much!!!
for myself, i just think i even cannot jump out of the first well... shame...

did u join ifva?
i join too... but it's video not animation

i agree with tdk, the sky style not so fit.
for the animation, i think it's well done!
i love the last action to get out of the well! creative!

i admire u so much! i have to work harder

congrat!!! good piece!

Just from a science point of view, this type of frogs usually live on trees, but i know this is somewhat irrelevant.

Hm... the habitat of the frog can have some more personal things that make it really a "home" of that frog. The droppings of the eagle can be dirtier, the frog can react to it more strongly. Are some shots repeated? Some more interesting actions would be good, i like the frog using it's tongue, maybe the frog can "climb" up it's own tongue.

Overall, quite good, doing a self project is always not easy.

個天其實用3D做唔難，我當時好想把一些我用相機接電腦每格十秒影一張的攝影作品放在動畫中，那段天空也影了＋多個鍾。但原來放在一起出來的效果並不如理想！等我Render番段天空先！多謝大家的意見！

johngalliano :

在做這段片前我都做了一些關於青蛙的資料研究，更在Studio養了兩雙青蛙！在金魚街賣八蚊一只，原來它們除了有野食時會高速飛向食物外，其如的廿四小時原封不動！！所以基本上井底之蛙是不向上爬的！ 但是講故事還講故事嘛！
還有在不同品種的蛙裡面，這種種樹蛙顏色最搶眼！ 所以一切以創作行先，有科學根句當然是好，但創作故事有不能因為這些東西而制爪著我們天馬行空的創意！

我交IFVA時，這個動畫我是這樣寫的"井外有井，人外有人，世事往往是我們想像之外，但是我們的想像力卻可以出乎世界之外”

很有意思及誠意的作品喇，Vong Sir 記得得閒上來行下，教下d後輩，多多益善，各位要學野喇。

There's no problem u choose this frog. Are the frogs u bought still living? what they eat? Grasshopper? I like animals!

[shady_lady]

青蛙令人懷念起芝麻街只布公仔，唔知有無人記得......

[akin vong]

shady_lady 咁客氣呀！當我做到尾二個Close up 時我都想起了芝麻街只Kermit.

johngalliano 兩只青蛙奇跡地還能生存，比較細哥只食野好鬼狼，可以由對面岸以高速游過來搶大只蛙Ｄ蟲食！所以它現在好肥美！我養的叫浮蛙好平的，有Ｄ人買來比龍吐珠食，我Ｄ朋友養Ｄ叫牛蛙，要幾百蚊只好貴又要食Grasshopper，不過靚好多呢！我養的浮蛙吃麥皮蟲的比較易搞。下次post張相比你睇下丫！

>>下次post張相比你睇下丫
ho ar!! I want to see their photos!! Quick d post!!

[ricky]

The concept is seem before by cartoon, you only presented for

3D animation.........

[akin vong]

Sorry ！板主！把這裡變成寵物雜志了！

johngalliano 魚釭下有魚有水草，水面兩片浮石便是兩只浮蛙的家了！

ricky : ”井底之蛙”是中國的四字詞語，你在Cartoon片中看過是不出奇的，我也只是把”井底之蛙”的故事措題發揮吧了！
