Sound Training (Using Reason 3.0)

The sound tutorial was very interesting and exciting two days for me. We used Reason to create & edit existing midi files. I was bit disappointed to learn that reason takes only midi files rather than mp3. But it was interesting to learn it allows you to create music with your way by choosing instruments.

Reason is professional software used by music producer. Its an effective software and powerful for creating musical beats. For more infor on Reason, visit [http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/]

I think the way to master the Reason software is to get some experience of using the actual hardware of sound production. This will help you to have better understanding when you use the software, because within the software you are produced with variety of virtual hardware’s.

The Reason tutorial was delivered by John Paul.

DreamWeaver & Mock Up done!

Handed my Dream Weaver and mock up last week, so glad it’s done. The Dream Weaver was so hard, but manage to get the CMS working. The CMS was for the future event, which will allow the administrator to add, delete, edit and update the content.

Looking forward to sound tutorial this week, I love sound editing and into heavy music.

Down the bay they were filming Dr Who. It was quite disturbing hearing all those sounds, but I look forward to see that Dr Who episode. You’ll proberely catch a glimpse of me in there!

Finally here is the link to the Cardiff Bay website that had been produced by myself and Rob:

Finished Maya brief

Hi everyone just remembered to upload my Maya animation. Looks plain because of the particles at the back didn’t render :(

When I rendered the animation, it rendered only the main animation, but I did not realise you got to render the particles separately.

Hope you enjoy!!!

Deadline of Dreamweaver project approaching

So far it’s going alright, although had difficulty getting my head around asp.net. Last week it was very hard working week for me, but this week, its deadline of Dream Weaver, need to put more effort to get it done in time.

The mock-up brief is going really well, that’s due in on the same day as Dream Weaver brief.

Just to remind everyone, my mock up is about a Bully website. Its called "Bully Buster Club". The website will be based on lunchtime club, where volunteers goes to local school to give support/help and information pack about bullying. Since the mock up is meant to reflect on lunchtime theme, I am basing mine on lunchtime hour club.

Project Management & Pitching

Sorry for late posting, this ment to be posted last week :P. Had a really good session on project management & pitching last week. The project management session helped to understand how to plan & scope a project.

Those helpful tips will help me to be better project manager in future :D

Dream Weaver training & Project

Had 1-week dream weaver tutorial. Now working on the Dream Weaver brief. It’s quite difficult, since I have no CSS experience or ASP. But looking forward into developing it, because it’s a new challenge. From what I read, many interactive media industry uses ASP.net than ASP. Sequence uses ASP.net, we are going to use ASP.net to develop the website.


It’s Rob and Me who are in a group. We both decided to split the design/development and then shift role around so we both can experience both design & development.

Our project is to develop a Cardiff Bay website offering new and older vistors information. The website will hold information on where to go, where to stay, what to do and future events.
