TASKS

Final Project: Burnout Animations

     The final project is another group comprising 30% of the whole thing. The project is on the animation of burnout. At the start of the week, we discussed burnout, how it happens, etc. Burnout is a type of physical or emotional exhaustion that happens to everyone.

     But this time, we have to make an animation of burnout for the final project. The materials were given to us, as in the script, by Mr. Martin, and an example was shown to us also to give us an idea of how to do it:

     We distributed the work amongst ourselves, so it would make it easier for everyone.

     The next obvious step was to do my part of the bits so we could finish with our first draft; this was easier than previous assignments that I was tasked with, so I finished my part in a day.

     After we finished our parts of the work, we combined them to make one complete video to show to Mr. Martin. Here is the first draft of Burnout Animations:

     Mr. Martin gave us the feedback we needed from the first draft. We decided to divide the work among us again. This time into characters, objects, animations, and text sections. Here is the list of who's doing what:

Characters: Emran, Samantha, and Khaixuan

Objects: Mariyam (didn't do anything) and Caelan

Animations: Cheng Yu and Adora

Text: Farooq

     I will be showing everyone's work here and what they have done.

     After finishing our parts, I compiled the animations for parts 1 and 2, including the text, to finish them and get the finished product. It took a bit of cutting to match and sync it up. But I managed.

First Draft

     Samantha did a whole makeover on the first draft, and here is the final product of it.

PERSONAL BURNOUT

Final Project: Burnout Animations

     Burnout here and burnout there. Everyone once in a while, people have come to be burnout, whether it is mental or physical. It has become a regular occurrence to people, like a virus that has been widespread around the globe. I have definitely experience burnout as I was doing the Final Project throughout this semester. One can experience burnout in many ways, from overloading to under-challenged burnout. I have been overloaded with burnout this semester because I was burdened with a lot of work due to the lack of communication in the team in another module, which caused me to experience stress as I was doing the Final Project for this module. My group mates pressured me as time was cutting short to the point that me being burnout. After some time of stressing, I found a way to calm myself, reducing burnout, which led to finishing the work given to me. This experience hinted that the more I panic, the more burnout I experience. Therefore, burnout can be scary and happen to anyone, so take notice and try to stay calm before it overwhelms you.
