Service Learning Project: Collaboration with Knowledge Channel on The Basa Bilang Project.

Good day to any of you who stumble upon this blog. My name is Syaqil, but my friends call me Koda. Currently as of 2020, I am in my 2nd year of Polytechnic studying animation. 

In one of my modules called Fundamentals for Creative Professionals II (FCP2) we were given the opportunity to contribute to The Basa Bilang Project, which was hosted by The Knowledge Channel. This project was one of many that was tasked to other animation students in collaboration to produce educational content for children in the Philippines. It was crucial as this meant that kids who are unable to pursue formal education can still look for their education online through the Knowledge Channel. 
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic that has struck the world, our interactions with them through the collaboration had to be done through an online meeting and discussion. Most of the work is carefully deliberated by our own lecturers who oversee our progress in the project, telling us what to improve on and being the relay to our beneficiaries if we have any other things we need clarification on.

My role in the project was the Character Designer. Most of the works produced by me were done in reference to the styles provided by the Knowledge Channel as it is the preferred style they wanted us to work towards.

Overall, this experience was intriguing and it brought some compassion out of me. It was really something; to be part of a big project like this that will benefit a lot of children. As a result of this, I might consider looking to do more charitable work and maybe be part of humanitarian efforts somewhere in the future.

Week 1 of 3D Animation Production – "JQK Studios"

Good evening,  Today marks the first week of 3D Animation Production, where i work in a team of 3 people – myself included – to pitch and produce a 1 minute animation.  The group comprises, Chua Suqin, Joash Lee, and myself. Both Suqin and I are specialised in 3D animation, and Joash is specialised in Character Animation. In this role combination, we're hoping that two people would work on designing the assets, characters, and environment and the third to be the one animating the motions.  We're called JQK Studios which is an acronym of our initials. Creative aye? and currently i'm designing the logo for our studio. We're still in the pitching phase. I can't disclose openly here just yet about what we're working on, but soon after the pitch to our mentors and esteemed classmates, we'll be able to share on what's in the works. Stay tune. – Koda
