in pursuit for knowledge
10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,800
for some it was their first encounter
11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,000
with the Chinese vast and rich culture
12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,560
from the exquisite cuisine
13
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,160
to the aromatic street food
14
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,360
the stunning architectural designs
15
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,960
the lovely folk music
16
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,920
dazzling nighttime city lights
17
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,520
not to mention
18
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,800
the numerous widely observed Chinese holidays
19
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,520
these students' lives have seen significant alteration
20
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:17,040
particularly since the Covid -19 global pandemic
21
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,760
this series aims to share the experiences
22
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,680
and the challenges faced by international students
23
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,240
as well as celebrate their triumphs
24
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,040
in acquiring knowledge
25
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,720
my name is Ishimwe Achille
26
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,160
my Chinese name it's Chen Lin
27
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,920
I’m from Africa in a beautiful country called Rwanda
28
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,800
in Kigali city
29
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,120
my name is omoshalewa
30
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,760
Oluwaseun Ogunjimi
31
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:17,760
and from omaha state Nigeria
32
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,560
I major in fashion design at hebei meishu xueyuan
33
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,360
my name is Alieu Sawyer
34
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,720
I’m from Monrovia Liberia
35
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,360
my major is photography and film production
36
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,680
my major is animation
37
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,720
basically
38
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:33,880
my study experience
39
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,720
at Hebei academy of fine arts
40
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,600
is a good one
41
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,560
the school has offered a variety of artistic skills
42
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,800
that can be applied to many careers
43
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,240
the school also has small class size
44
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,680
so instructor can give his student individual
45
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,400
attention when needed
46
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000
I got the opportunity to learn Chinese
47
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,440
which is the second widest spoken language in the world
48
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,600
I learned more about arts criticism
49
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,880
arts history
50
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,480
and the conservation of cultural relics
51
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,200
I also met and became
52
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,480
friends with different people from different countries
53
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,960
got to know more people from different culture
54
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:20,320
and I was able to share my own culture with them
55
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,360
during the beginning of 2020
56
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,600
it almost felt as everything was over
57
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,320
and like it was the end of the world
58
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,960
I was worried that the school was going to close
59
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,840
and I will not be able to continue with my studies
60
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,480
which I came here for
61
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,640
most of our classes had to be online
62
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,400
and as fashion design students
63
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,640
we do more of practical stuffs
64
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,400
which didn't work very well for us
65
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,680
because we didn't have the teachers to explain to us
66
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,320
we had to do it by ourselves
67
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,040
and I feel online classes for fashion design students
68
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,600
is not the best
69
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:07,760
so the pandemic really really affected my academics
70
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,960
fortunately thanks to the technology
71
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,400
I was able to continue with my studies
72
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,200
online
73
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,360
our teacher recommended us to
74
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,840
use a software called Dingtalk
75
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,800
we had the opportunity to gain more
76
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,600
more of the classes we've lost
77
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,200
we were able to learn them
78
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,920
so that's how we
79
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,720
actually started to learn
80
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,160
yeah
81
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,880
during that Covid period
82
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:36,600
as a foreigner in china
83
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,160
it was not easy to live in china
84
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:38,720
during the
85
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,560
Covid-19 pandemic
86
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,600
it was very challenging
87
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,240
very difficult
88
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,960
because like
89
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,320
we all never expect this pandemic
90
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,160
actually
91
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,520
my life
92
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,440
really changed
93
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,320
just like most people who have experienced the...
94
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,040
Covid-19
95
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,120
i had to be accustomed to wearing masks
96
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,720
sanitizing
97
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,720
frequent lock-downs
98
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,320
during the frequent covid test every week
99
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,160
even sometimes every day for three years
100
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,560
I was really stressed out
101
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,280
and because at the time it began I was
102
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,200
I was alone in china
103
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,720
and I just left my family in my country
104
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,120
I had to find a way to cope with everything
105
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,680
because most places close
106
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,360
like even the country
107
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,760
it's closed like
108
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,160
no
109
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,160
no flights coming in
110
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,960
no flight going back
111
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:42,880
in another country
112
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,680
so it's very challenging
113
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,840
because some places were also like
114
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:47,240
closed
115
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,840
like supermarkets
116
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,040
hospital
117
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,880
schools
118
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,200
restaurants
119
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:53,920
mall
120
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:54,760
train stations
121
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,800
like a lot of things stop
122
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,200
with all the restrictions and limitations
123
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,280
imposed by the Chinese government
124
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,720
but there were several ways
125
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,480
to avoid contracting the disease
126
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,080
as well as trying to stay healthy through it all
127
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,840
we had to take several repercussions
128
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,720
such as wearing our face masks daily
129
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,080
whenever we are outdoors
130
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,000
and avoiding crowded places
131
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,440
another thing was
132
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,080
to also avoid going to high risk cities
133
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,160
we had to maintain good hygiene
134
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,800
such as washing your hands
135
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,720
every time you go to public areas
136
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,280
or you open doors
137
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,760
things like that
138
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,040
and we also
139
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,600
we were committed to healthy diet
140
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,720
now things is getting better
141
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,360
actually
142
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,280
yes
143
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,320
but we all
144
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,880
fought through you know
145
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:42,800
we all fought through
146
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,640
we but it was not easy though
147
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,440
it was actually difficult
148
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,040
but at least now I things it's better now yeah
149
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,360
did I get covid
150
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,680
oh yeah I did
151
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,760
yes I got covid
152
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,800
yeah I got covid
153
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,560
and it wasn't a funny experience
154
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,160
it was really bad
155
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,320
like I woke up that morning
156
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,360
I checked my temperature
157
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,760
my temperature was 39.2
158
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,600
I was freaking out
159
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,120
my body was hurting all over
160
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,480
it was really bad
161
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:15,960
then
162
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,800
after I took the pills
163
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,080
for three days I was okay
164
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,320
everything was back to normal
165
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,720
like nothing ever happened
166
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,360
what happened is
167
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
I wake up one morning on a Thursday morning
168
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,640
thursday morning I still remember
169
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,600
on thursday morning I wake up
170
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,760
I start feeling a headache
171
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:41,520
and I was feeling cool, like I can even feel my

00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,360

173
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,800
so I was having class actually that day

transported it from another city to mine city
196
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,920
and then I received the drug for her
197
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,000
I started taking it I started feeling better
198
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,200

so I just want to tell her thank you actually
201
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,280
because like if it wasn't for her
202
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,720
I don't really know what was going to happen to me
203
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,160
so yeah thank you teacher
204
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,520
at first I tested positive for covid
205
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,160
nineteen in 2022 in November
206
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:22,440
I don't know where I got it from
207
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,040
but I had all the symptoms and I was really sick
208
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:33,080
but after that I was able to purchase some medicine
209
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,800
and kept isolating myself in my room
210
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:43,560
and drinking hot stuff like tea and ginger
211
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,200
yeah I recovered in like one week
212
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,720
and yeah next I tested
213
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,960
I tested negative
214
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,280
what I like about this school
215
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,760
the first thing I’ll talk about would be the landscape
216
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,800
the architectural design of the school
217
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,240
which remakes the well known customs of Hogwarts
218
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,520
if you are a fan of white potter
219
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,280
then you would know what Hogwarts is
220
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,040
the school actually in the night just look different
221
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,080
like different
222
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,480
very very different because of the light
223
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,680
you can even when you tell people this place school
224
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,360
they can't believe it
225
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,600
that's my favorite thing about the school
226
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,960
actually my favorite interest
227
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,880
out of class I actually go for shopping
228
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,960
to get sneakers and some clothes
229
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,200
because I do like dressing so yeah
230
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:50,520
the fact is that I’m into sneakers and closed business
231
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,720
yeah so that's what I do whenever I’m out of class
232
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,160
my favorite interest out of class
233
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,640
would be cooking and traveling
234
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,360
I really love to cook
235
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,720
cooking is very therapeutic for me
236
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,400
when I cook I feel so happy
237
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,800
I’m like dancing
238
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,720
listening to music and cooking at the same time
239
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,800
then I love to travel to
240
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,400
but recently due to covid nineteen
241
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,880
traveling has been so limited in my life
242
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,240
I do some exercise like gyming
243
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,360
I go to the gym to exercise to keep my body straight
244
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:35,040
basketball and also I like watching football matches
245
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,160
and by the way my favorite team is arsenal
246
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:45,040
it's an English premier league club
247
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,840
which is very good actually
248
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,240
and as I say
249
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,360
we are looking forward to lift our first trophy
250
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:57,480
our first premier league trophy since
251
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,840
two thousand and four
252
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,800
yeah that's my prediction
253
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,160
I hope we will win it
254
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,680
so there are so many different types of Chinese foods
255
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,080
however I love momo's the most
256
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,240
basically momo's
257
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,400
I kind of dumpling jiao zi
258
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,360
like the Chinese people would call it
259
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,240
these momo's are very tasty and juicy
260
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,400
they are filled with tender chicken
261
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,080
onion cilantro and spices
262
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,400
they are steam dumplings that are perfect
263
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,680
when you have a craving for something warm
264
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
filling and satisfying
265
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,080
I love the way they are prepared and served
266
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,200
my favorite Chinese food is
267
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:45,160
it's actually a lot Chinese of very good dishes but not
268
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,000
I don't like all of them
269
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
because some of them are too spicy for me
270
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,760
I don't like spicy things
271
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:57,000
but my favorite one are dumplings hot pot
272
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:58,800
Beijing kaoya
273
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,560
which I can translate
274
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,800
it's a dark dark meat
275
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,680
I really like it when the seasoning goes
276
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,120
like there are some sauce on the side
277
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,160
you can dip the meat inside
278
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,280
it's very tasty and I really like it
279
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,800
I like hot pot
280
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,000
you can eat while it cooking
281
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,600
it's very colorful and delicious
282
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,600
I like it because it's spicy
283
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,280
too much chili
284
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,480
chili is like pepper
285
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,280
so it too spicy and stuff and also
286
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,040
yeah sometimes
287
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,760
I find it good because it's very easy to eat also
288
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,560
yeah I think like that's my favorite food
289
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,600
even today as we speaking today now
290
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,560
I will even eat hot boy and noodles today
291
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,200
because it's my favorite food
292
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,240
so I like it
293
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,360
I found it healthy
294
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,520
actually I’ve been to a few cities in china
295
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,160
such as shenyang
296
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,600
shanghai
297
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,800
and wei beijing guangzhou
298
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,360
guangzhou is actually a very lovely place to go
299
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,160
for business
300
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,040
it's of the common wealth of china
301
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,400
i've been to da liang
302
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,480
sanya
303
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,400
yeah but my favorite one was shanghai
304
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,440
because there is a lot to see
305
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,800
like architecture people
306
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,080
scenery yeah
307
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,120
i would say my favorite thing about the chinese culture
308
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,840
would be coficialism
309
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,560
coficialism places the lvnp
310
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,640
on importance of respect for the family and social ammonia
311
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,400
it is a national philosophy in china
312
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,040
chinese calligraphy
313
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,720
i have tried it in my school
314
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,640
it was really a funny experience
315
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,760
i had to there is this thing
316
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,320
you take just draw characters
317
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,840
it's like painting but you're just writing characters
318
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,720
it's actually fun
319
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,080
well my favorite things about the chinese culture
320
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,520
is the chinese seal
321
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,760
because of it rich history and uses
322
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:24,520
the chinese seal
323
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,880
is a stamp used to mark important documents
324
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,120
or any other acting requires signature
325
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,600
typically the seal are carved into stone
326
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,600
but they can also be made of wood stone
327
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,000
when the seal are used
328
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,720
they are put in red ink then stamp on the document
329
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,760
my plan after studying here in this school
330
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,440
is actually to go back to my beautiful country
331
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:05,680
to use the knowledge that i have now gained here and go
332
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,480
go help with that knowledge to people who need it
333
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,320

334
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,360
so basically for me after i complete all my studies
335
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,600

340
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,160

i
365
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:19,520
don't know
366
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,840
animation is a method of
367
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,800
photographing successive drawings
368
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,600
models or even puppets
369
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,160
for example like this little guy here
370
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,360
to create an illusion of movement in a sequence
371
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:47,520
animation is important
372
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,680
because it makes us be able to
373
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,520
to tell stories and communicate emotions and ideas
374
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:57,800
in a unique
375
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,400
easy perceived way
376
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,720
that both small children and adults can understand
377
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,680
animation has helped
378
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,280
connect people throughout the world
379
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,960
in a way that sometimes writings
380
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,560
and live action films cannot
381
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,529
PC application that we use in class
382
00:26:22,529 --> 00:26:23,880
they are actually a lot
383
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,400
because we learn
384
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:27,920
for example
385
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,040
if we need to make an animation
386
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,120
we have these
387
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,680
a specific application
388
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:38,120
if we want to make special effects
389
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,880
it has also its software
390
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,480
so for example
391
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,920
for me my favorite one is maya
392
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,120
not to say that is the only one that we use
393
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:50,800
we use mostly blender
394
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,760
maya as i said
395
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,280
adobe after effects
396
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:56,840
render forest
397
00:26:57,308 --> 00:26:58,200
animaker
398
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,000
byju yeah but but
399
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,360
but for me my favorite one is maya
400
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,680
because mostly the interfaces user friendly
401
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,280
you can see all that you want to design
402
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,320
and it actually blends within the artist
403
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,120
and the character you want to design and to make
404
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,280
in maya that's my favorite one
405
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,160
earlier you saw in the shot
406
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,120
i was actually working on my project
407
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,800
i was designing a character
408
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,920
and i was trying to make it move
409
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,760
i do some as i can say stunts
410
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,160
there's a lot of ways that you can do it
411
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,320
but for me i was doing this technique
412
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,000
it's called rigging
413
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:05,440
you have to make what we call skeleton and put it in
414
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,600
in your character
415
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,280
so as for example if i have to move my wrist
416
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,880
i have to make a skeleton for that
417
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,080
i have to make
418
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,920
we call it a controller
419
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:18,800
ike this
420
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,160
and then we can be able to move this part
421
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,000
so as the arm can move freely
422
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,560
so as you saw in that shot
423
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,120
yeah the character moves
424
00:28:31,807 --> 00:28:33,960
as i click on the skeleton
425
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,960
you need to be good at drawing to be an animator
426
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,200
because
427
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,240
before designing characters
428
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,160
before designing characters in maya
429
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,000
or blender or z brush
430
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,880
first you need to sketch on a paper
431
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,600
how your character will look like
432
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,360
and you need to
433
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,560
for example me
434
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,080
before designing
435
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,520
the character you saw earlier
436
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,000
i first designed it on a draft paper
437
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,920
to see how it will look like in the software
438
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,840
animation studios that i like
439
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,000
walt disney studio
440
00:29:18,289 --> 00:29:19,199
pixar
441
00:29:19,199 --> 00:29:20,000
dreamworks
442
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,535
sony
443
00:29:21,962 --> 00:29:23,413
illumination
444
00:29:23,613 --> 00:29:24,723
paramount
445
00:29:25,121 --> 00:29:26,402
blue sky
446
00:29:26,686 --> 00:29:27,720
warner bros
447
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,000
but my favorite one is word disney
448
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:36,960
because as we know it is the father of cartoons
449
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,560
as they say
450
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,400
my favorite animation /anime studios
451
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,600
my favorite one is madhouse
452
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,320
but there's also the one called studio bones
453
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,600
kyoto animation and wit studio
454
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,560
that's all of them i know
455
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,960
anime is popular in china especially among young people
456
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,480
for example
457
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:10,000
in my school there are a lot of new animations
458
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,560
that chinese students produce every year
459
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,600
i've seen them they're actually nice
460
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,360
but still japan is well known for its
461
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,080
creativity in anime
462
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,000
it is basically the word of anime
463
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,880
as my point of view
464
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,000
that's my opinion on anime
465
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,080
some location that you must visit
466
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,960
and it's a must visit them if you like anime
467
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,240
or you're into
468
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,600
3D characters or 2D characters
469
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,440
there are some places called kyoto international manga
470
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,440
museum and gerald tokyo
471
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,760
my favorite animation movie
472
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:01,920
ratatouille
473
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,145
wall-e
474
00:31:04,628 --> 00:31:05,824
bleach
475
00:31:06,222 --> 00:31:07,360
Arcane
476
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,880
love death and robots
477
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,280
the challenges mostly we face as animators
478
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,040
first one is
479
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,480
tight budgets for fast processors
480
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,080
because most of the time some of
481
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,480
the project end up being big to render
482
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,960
which makes the rendering time long
483
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,920
depending on how your
484
00:31:36,373 --> 00:31:38,280
your animation character looks
485
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,040
or the material you applied on the character
486
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,960
yeah but it's a win win
487
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,280
i have to take a coffee break
488
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,480
i can be sipping on my coffee and waiting on the
489
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:54,880
on the animation to render
490
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,000
and the second one
491
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,520
it's overwhelming schedule
492
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,720
the study environment
493
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,640
for multimedia artists and animators can be
494
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,440
super stressful
495
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:11,440
yeah
496
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,240
they might work under tight deadlines and
497
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,031
significant pressure to get their design
498
00:32:17,031 --> 00:32:17,360
to
499
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,520
to their clients
500
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,760
advantages of being an animator
501
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,840
is an ability to work creatively
502
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,680
for people who enjoy working creatively
503
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,040
the opportunities to do so in this role
504
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:35,960
are massive
505
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,800
you can also learn new computer skills and programs
506
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,440
as use different forms of media to create images
507
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,240
effects and animation
508
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,680
flexible work opportunities
509
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,040
even when working for a company
510
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,600
you might be able to work from home
511
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,840
or outside of normal business hours
512
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,960
freelance work is also an option in this career
513
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:07,600
which mostly
514
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,520
graphic designers ,animators can do
515
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,200
mostly they just do freelance
516
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,680
providing even more flexibility
517
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,040
in short words
518
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:26,400
animation can be fun to watch and also fun to make
519
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,840
for me the future of animation
520
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,160
will be as much about
521
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,103
personal stories that
522
00:33:35,701 --> 00:33:36,496
it will
523
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,800
be about making the next marvel movie look amazing
524
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,680
for me i would say that
525
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:48,720
in my future
526
00:33:48,931 --> 00:33:51,009
i want to be able to make
527
00:33:51,549 --> 00:33:52,460
a
528
00:33:52,802 --> 00:33:55,480
marvel cinematic universe
529
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,120
maybe in africa
530
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,000
to be the first to make it
531
00:33:59,670 --> 00:34:00,270
and
532
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,480
to design my own characters hero characters
533
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,560
and make them be able to impact the youth
534
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:11,600
to do amazing and great work
535
00:34:12,312 --> 00:34:14,200
and to inspire others also
536
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,080
personally i would say fashion is a
537
00:34:57,370 --> 00:34:58,970
is a form of expression
538
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,120
during a particular period of time in a place
539
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,584
and let's say clothing
540
00:35:06,584 --> 00:35:07,280
shoes
541
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,414
lifestyle
542
00:35:09,414 --> 00:35:10,160
makeup
543
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,360
accessories and so on
544
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,532
think for me
545
00:35:13,532 --> 00:35:16,400
my main source of inspiration to designing
546
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,325
is just the fact that
547
00:35:18,660 --> 00:35:21,120
i love to make people feel good
548
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,000
in whatever they are putting on
549
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,160
i like to make people feel good
550
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,400
feel happy and look beautiful
551
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,000
so that's what inspires me to design
552
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:31,400
for example
553
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,400
if i should design a cloth for someone
554
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,240
and the person who really loves it
555
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,960
it gives me more inspiration to do better
556
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,315
to do more designs and create more
557
00:35:40,315 --> 00:35:41,506
outfits for others
558
00:35:41,506 --> 00:35:42,655
i just
559
00:35:42,655 --> 00:35:44,283
it's the feeling
560
00:35:44,283 --> 00:35:45,800
of my clients
561
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,800
like the feeling they get
562
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,720
the feeling of satisfaction
563
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:50,440
that inspires me to design
564
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,240
currently am still like a start-up business
565
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,698
a one person business
566
00:36:03,698 --> 00:36:04,194
but
567
00:36:05,186 --> 00:36:05,480
yeah
568
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,000
i do have clients and they meet their orders online
569
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,360
and i make whatever they want for them
570
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,120
and also i do
571
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,200
do some ready made outfits
572
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:18,360
but i mostly do custom made clothes for my clients
573
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,080
so for now i'm just still like
574
00:36:21,396 --> 00:36:22,440
a stat-up business
575
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,160
speaking from personal experience
576
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,400
i would say it is not
577
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,560
compulsory you have a degree in fashion design
578
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:35,560
because for me too
579
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,320
i was so lay on having a degree in fashion design
580
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,760
and i'm currently studying fashion design now
581
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,800
i'm going to have my bachelor's degree very soon
582
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,360
i just feel like it's not necessary
583
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,560
you can learn fashion like
584
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,480
take on intensive classes for a year
585
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,520
and you would get what you need to know
586
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:58,640
it's not necessary
587
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,640
to have a bachelor's degree in fashion
588
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,040
you could have a hospitality management degree
589
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,400
your first degree
590
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,960
like your bachelor's degree could be hospitality
591
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,640
it could be medicine
592
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:10,760
it could be anything
593
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,560
then you decide to learn fashion design
594
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,400
as far as you understand the basics of design
595
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,720
if you want to be a stylist
596
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:22,960
you understand what being a stylist means
597
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,600
if you want to be a sim stress
598
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,800
you know how to use the sewing machine
599
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,960
you can sew perfectly and all that
600
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,520
and if you want to be a designer
601
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:31,960
your sketches are good
602
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,480
you know how to create own designs
603
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:35,760
so it's not a must
604
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,080
you have a bachelor degree in fashion
605
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,763
for you to be successful
606
00:37:40,763 --> 00:37:41,559
it is not
607
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,320
that's personality for me
608
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,320
but having a bachelor degree in fashion
609
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,862
also gives you recognition especially if you are
610
00:37:51,862 --> 00:37:53,840
job hunting
611
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,960
for someone who has a bachelor's degree in fashion
612
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,040
i think if you go for a job search
613
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,760
you would have more opportunity
614
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,240
than those that don't
615
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,640
maybe you want to go and work in big brands and all
616
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:10,560
you have your bachelor's degree
617
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:11,920
and you have experiences
618
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,560
i think you would be on the top list
619
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:14,720
of the people they will choose
620
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:17,680
rather than someone who has no experience in fashion
621
00:38:18,332 --> 00:38:18,572
and
622
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:19,560
yeah
623
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,200
i use all sort of fabrics
624
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,080
whatever fabrics
625
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,040
it depends on what my clients wants
626
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,324
but okay
627
00:38:36,324 --> 00:38:38,520
if you know my brand and you follow my brand
628
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,880
you would know i really do a lot of afro designs
629
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,240
african prints designs
630
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:46,280
so you would find like
631
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:47,440
let me say about
632
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,240
60% to 70% of my designs are afro print
633
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,440
african print fabric
634
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,600
because a lot of my clients they
635
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,480
they love wearing african prints
636
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,040
but i also work with all other kind of fabrics
637
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,480
i make evening wears
638
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,080
i make birthday wears
639
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,600
red carpet wears
640
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,000
so i have to use all that kind of fabric
641
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,400
so basically i use all sorts of fabrics
642
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,400
it depends on what my style needs
643
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:16,040
like if i have to make a dress like a dinner dress
644
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,960
i have to use the kind of fabrics for dinner dresses
645
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,160
so if i want to make an african print fabric
646
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,640
i have to use an african print dress
647
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,600
i have to use an african print fabric
648
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,000
if i want to make a
649
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:33,560
let's say like
650
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,640
an evening wear
651
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,757
or something where you just go
652
00:39:39,757 --> 00:39:40,920
a regular wear
653
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,120
there are fabrics for those kind of
654
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:43,960
outfits
655
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,000
so i can't go using a sequin fabric
656
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,840
for a regular daily wear
657
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:49,760
that's too shiny
658
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,984
it's something for maybe evening wears
659
00:39:52,984 --> 00:39:53,520
parties
660
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,120
so it depends on what the style is
661
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,360
and what occasion the style is for
662
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,480
and what my clients prefers
663
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,560
that's how we choose fabric here
664
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:06,360
you choose the best fabric for the style
665
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,640
what goes well with the style and the occasion
666
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,360
generally i'm a woman's wear designer
667
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,160
and kids wear designer
668
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,880
but at times i double abit in the male designs
669
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,200
just let's say regular shirts
670
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,761
and pants i do that
671
00:40:25,198 --> 00:40:26,000
but
672
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,426
i am a woman's wear designer
673
00:40:28,426 --> 00:40:29,980
and kids wear designer
674
00:40:29,997 --> 00:40:30,277
and
675
00:40:31,286 --> 00:40:31,566
i
676
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,560
i really love working with babies
677
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,961
i love making babieswear alot
678
00:40:35,961 --> 00:40:37,553
they are so cute and lovely so
679
00:40:37,553 --> 00:40:40,760
their dresses are really cute cute cute
680
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:41,468
and
681
00:40:42,294 --> 00:40:42,681
so size
682
00:40:42,888 --> 00:40:44,240
i work with all sizes
683
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:45,400
plus size
684
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,200
regular sizes
685
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,480
plus plus size
686
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,720
that's why i'm a custom made designer
687
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:52,360
i work with all sizes
688
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,880
my working process is
689
00:40:56,240 --> 00:40:57,440
it depends on my clients
690
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,280
if my clients want me to
691
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,920
design something for them from scratch
692
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,440
like it should be my design
693
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,760
then i get to my ipad
694
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,160
i design it
695
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,680
then i give them color options and everything
696
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,280
i just do maybe three different designs
697
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,360
but they are very similar in style
698
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:15,760
and silhouette
699
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:17,960
but i will give them options of choosing
700
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:18,960
which one they want
701
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,280
so then after designing
702
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,400
once they choose all this is what i want
703
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,000
i get the measurements and make patterns
704
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,600
if the clothes involves a bit of dripping
705
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,018
i do the dripping too
706
00:41:30,018 --> 00:41:30,378
but
707
00:41:30,378 --> 00:41:33,800
i mostly do slides and splashing method
708
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,680
when it comes to the dripping part
709
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,400
and once my patterns are done
710
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,800
i go ahead and cut the fabric
711
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,157
then
712
00:41:43,157 --> 00:41:44,960
next is the sewing process
713
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,360
a lot of ironing
714
00:41:46,968 --> 00:41:48,280
and voila
715
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,800
the sewing is done
716
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,800
then i send them to my clients
717
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,800
of course i've learnt a lot in
718
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,360
hebei academy of fine arts
719
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,600
um before i came to this school
720
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,360
i wasn't really good at designing
721
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,320
like um actual um
722
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:04,600
illustrations
723
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,120
i wasn't good at doing illustrations
724
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,000
i didn't even know how to
725
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,160
use photoshop before i came to this school
726
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,080
now i use a lot of um
727
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:15,560
softwares
728
00:42:16,842 --> 00:42:17,320
i am good
729
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,880
i can't say i'm perfect but i really improved a lot
730
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,600
and there are so many new skills
731
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:25,680
there could be simple skills
732
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,920
but they are important skills
733
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,120
i've learned in this school
734
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,720
things have made me a better designer
735
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,240
things have made my work cleaner neater and
736
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,480
nicer like it's
737
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:39,800
i actually have learned
738
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,560
a lot of things from this school
739
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,000
if you are passionate about something
740
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,280
then you should do it
741
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,040
no matter the obstacles you encounter
742
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,360
you should keep fighting
743
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,560
keep striving
744
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:52,760
still you get what you want
745
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,640
a lot of things will come your way
746
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,488
but as far as you want it
747
00:42:56,488 --> 00:42:58,280
like you really do want it
748
00:42:58,360 --> 00:42:59,760
it is worth fighting for
749
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,160
just keep going
750
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,800
there's no little place to start
751
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,360
you can start from anywhere
752
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:06,960
that's why i said it's not a must
753
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,800
you go to school for fashion
754
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,840
like go get a bachelor's degree
755
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:11,840
it's not a must
756
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,320
you can start by watching youtube videos
757
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,000
you can start by paying for online classes
758
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,080
cheaper classes
759
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,200
you'd get to where you are going to
760
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,560
as far as the passion is there
761
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,480
just keep the fire burning
762
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:24,440

well portrait photography aims to capture
822
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,360
the identity and personality using lighting
823
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:27,800
background and posing
824
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,360
there are different types of portrait photography
825
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:31,760
for example
826
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,840
some portraits are for professional use
827
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:38,160
other types of portraits are more casual
828
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,080
such as lifestyle poetry
829
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,560
that capture subject in everyday life
830
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,200
but actually like
831
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,400
i like shooting in the studio mostly
832
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,800
basically what i use in my studio
833
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,574
i use camera
834
00:46:52,574 --> 00:46:54,640
i use a light
835
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,040
and for
836
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,440
as for the camera i use a tripod
837
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,400
to avoid shaking of the camera
838
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:02,960
and i also have different
839
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,440
different kind of light
840
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,054
and i have backdrop light
841
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:08,720
like
842
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,120
different different color
843
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,920
blue red yellow
844
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,240
and i also have a background
845
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,960
which have different color also
846
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,383
because
847
00:47:22,383 --> 00:47:25,400
i shoot my model according to their complexion
848
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,360
and also their outfit
849
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,360
and after shooting them
850
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,200
after shooting them i also use my laptop
851
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,000
to edit their pictures
852
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:35,222
yeah
853
00:47:35,222 --> 00:47:36,200
to edit it
854
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:37,920
and i have so many different
855
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,160
different kinds of lenses also
856
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,511
as for the camera setup
857
00:47:45,511 --> 00:47:46,400
i use
858
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,469
just three settings
859
00:47:48,469 --> 00:47:49,720
the shutter speed
860
00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:50,439
the ISO
861
00:47:50,439 --> 00:47:51,360
and the apature
862
00:47:52,565 --> 00:47:54,520
after i commonly use them for exposure
863
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:56,840
as for the lighting
864
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,282
for the lighting setup
865
00:47:59,553 --> 00:48:00,960
i use three angles
866
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:01,903
because
867
00:48:01,903 --> 00:48:02,880
it depends on the
868
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,800
the model that i'm shooting
869
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:06,130
sometimes i use
870
00:48:06,130 --> 00:48:07,299
the highlight
871
00:48:07,299 --> 00:48:08,054
the soft light
872
00:48:08,054 --> 00:48:09,639
sometimes i change colors
873
00:48:10,385 --> 00:48:10,756
yeah
874
00:48:10,756 --> 00:48:11,979
different different angles
875
00:48:11,979 --> 00:48:12,977
It just depends on the model
876
00:48:12,994 --> 00:48:13,474
that's all
877
00:48:14,157 --> 00:48:15,773
and for the background
878
00:48:16,669 --> 00:48:18,408
i use different different
879
00:48:18,981 --> 00:48:20,600
colors for my backround
880
00:48:21,405 --> 00:48:23,244
commonly known as backdrop
881
00:48:23,767 --> 00:48:24,527
yeah
882
00:48:24,545 --> 00:48:25,305
and also
883
00:48:26,389 --> 00:48:27,700
when i am shooting my model
884
00:48:28,017 --> 00:48:29,080
on that back ...
885
00:48:29,451 --> 00:48:30,211
backdrop
886
00:48:30,661 --> 00:48:31,983
I use different different color
887
00:48:31,983 --> 00:48:32,664
according
888
00:48:32,664 --> 00:48:34,090
to my model's complexion
889
00:48:34,616 --> 00:48:36,576
so and also
890
00:48:36,883 --> 00:48:38,843
i have a remote that i change the colors
891
00:48:40,257 --> 00:48:41,418

I treat them well

during the shoot
902
00:48:56,798 --> 00:48:59,966
the reason i get alot of models is because

00:49:02,177 --> 00:49:04,857
