Storyboard part 1
This post is just to show the part of storyboard that already done and this part only for the introduction and this storyboard is still in the process and will be finish by Hari Raya Aidiladha...InsyaALLAH
Referrences 2 - Characters / talent
This referrences is for the talent and the characters that i would like to consider to act for this short video...this is just for the referrences and thanks to the flickr members who upload the image.
Referrences
This referrences is the referrences for the design. The design include the setting house that i want, the props and also the mood of the video.
Concept Board
The concept board is actually design by me. The design board is actually a man with a silat pose and a few weird stuffs such as broom and ketupat at his body. Concept board is actually to give rough idea to peoples without any words on the board but we can tell the rough story trough this concept board. I don't know if my concept board is working or not... u tell me.
Thumbnails
For thumbnails, my thumbnails is a very rough sketches and just to give the idea on how the story going to be and what is next scene after one scene. But due to some technical problem, the thumbnail pictures will be upload soon. The thumbnail now are being used for the storyboard design and after everything is ready i will upload the thumbnail and the full storyboard.
The Characters
There are two characters for my Video. There will be the Grandma and the Grandson
here is the characteristic of those character
Grandma :
50-60 years old
Live at the kampung house
Lonely
Sensitive
Love her grandson so much
Strict
Have loud voice and love to mumbling
Grandson :
18-25 years old
Live at the city
Good salary
Love his grandma soo much
Smart
Busy working
Have a sense of humor
The Story
ok.....the idea has approved. so here is the story....i will make a video for Hari Raya. The video will be between 1 minutes and 45 seconds to 2 minutes 30 seconds. The story will be base on one question. The question is " Can we do the Hari Raya preparation just a day before Hari Raya? ".
In normal way, it is impossible because there are a lot of thing to do and to prepare. But in this story, that thing is possible because all the works is fasten by using the Silat Melayu techniques.
Introduction :
The introduction of this story will be a normal sad mood for Hari Raya video, the sound is a very slow pace Hari Raya song and the color might be sephia or black and white or a very dull color. This introduction will look like a petronas kind of Hari Raya advertisement.This introduction is meant to make the audiences think that this advertisement is the normal Petronas advertisement for Hari Raya. It is just a twist for the whole video.
The Body :
After a 20-30 seconds introduction that is so dull in color and so the music pace is so slow, this is the part where this advertisement reveal its own characterisctic. From the start of this middle part, the color will be bright, the mood will be happy, and the music pace will be faster and catchy music will be selected to be as a background music for the whole middle part. This part will be a part where the grandson start to help his grandma to clean the house using his silat technique, to rearrange the hall and to make the house look better for Hari Raya. After cleaning and rearranging the hall, the grandson have to help the grandma to search buluh for making lemang and he also have to help his grandma to cook the ketupat and also the lemang. The silat technique will be use in this video will be combine physically and mentally. There will be some exegerate in those Silat Melayu technique used by the grandson. This part will take 1 minutes - 1 minutes and 30 seconds.
Ending :
As for now there are three options for the ending. the option that i hava are :
1) at the end, the grandson have a problem to settle one thing and he cannot do it and suddenly the grandma come and the grandma reveal herself that actually she also can do silat and more advance compare to her grandson but she just dont want to do preparation because her grandson is not coming and she dont have any feeling to celebrate Hari Raya.
2) the second option that i can do is just a simple ending for the video and no more twist in this ending. I will just show that the house already prepared nicely for Hari Raya. The ending scene will show that the grandson and grandma having a cup of coffee at the night and celebrate Hari Raya as usual the next day
3) the third option is i can put a scene that actually will conclude everything shown earlier and will have the message that silat is good and silat is not only for fighting and silat is not cruel. but this is only the option and i still can improve this idea.
As for now the ending that i think i'm going to do is the first one where there is a second twist and the ending to show that the grandma also a good Silat Melayu follower and she is actually still in good health but just dont have any feeling to celebrate Hari Raya alone.
In normal way, it is impossible because there are a lot of thing to do and to prepare. But in this story, that thing is possible because all the works is fasten by using the Silat Melayu techniques.

Idea and Concept 3
Pheewwwww......after the discussion with lecturer at least i get some new and fresh idea on how to find the idea anc concept...eventhough my first consultation is being rejected...i repeat...REJECTED but thats not the end of the world..so i went to the second consultation wishing for my best luck and hope that this time i can settle the ideation part and go on to the other part.
Luckily, for the research, the topic that been accepted is "Applying/using Silat Melayu technique in action scene for Video" which is already been agreed on my first consultation after all those 5 topics are rejected.
As for the Idea parts, i came up with the 2 new ideas :.
1) Commercial Video for advertising. The product is maggie
- establishing shot..the place and location...leaves fly.
- scene inside a warong. People eating. Close up to an old man
- suddenly comes a group of gangsters and want to catch the old man
- the old man stay calm and finished his meal quickly
- the old man then leave the money on the table and jump out tru window
- the group then circled the old man and a few dialogue accur
- the situation getting hot and the gansgter attact the old man
- suddenly a young man come out try to help the old man but being hit badly.
- the the fight between the old man and the gansters continue
- the old man manage to win the fight and leave the warong
- the young man get up and follow the old man. he want to learnd from the old man.
- the old mand agree and bring the young man to his place
- the scene continue show the young man training
- after a few months
- the scene of the young man being tested by the old man and he passed all the test.
- young man ask for the secret skills that tok guru used when defeated the enemy
- the old man stay quiet and after being pushed by the young man, the old man talk
- the old man bring the young man to the warong they met before
- the old man eat the same thing he ate last time (MAGGIE)
- then only the young man know and his face is really annoying face.
Comments from lecturer :
* this is not university level of thinking
* this is not really work for the advertisement and also for the silat
* this is not worth to be present for FYP
* etc...
2) Hari raya advertisement
- Establishing shot of rumah kampung and the scenery
- Showing the grandma watching tv alone at night
- then close up the tv showing the annoucement of Hari Raya
- the grandma not excited at all and she is in sad mood
- then the camera will show the conditon of the house. no preparation at all
- suddenly the sound of car's honk appeared
- the grandma look at the window and happy to see her only grandson
- then a few dialogue accured but since it is late, they go to bed after a few minutes
- at the morning grandma wake the grandson up to help her preparing for Hari Raya
- the grandson then fell asleep again while the grandma go to market
- when the grandma back...she become angry because nothing had been done
- the grandson quickly wake up and do the preparation
- the grandson using his silat technique to prepare, to clean up and to simplified the work
- at the end the preparation is finish by night.
- they celebrate Hari Raya happily
Comments :
* I think this one good enough
* U just have to polish on the preparation part
* I think u can proceed with this idea
YEAAAYYY...finally....my idea had been approved by the lecturer and thats mean i can continue to the next part. so basically, the video will base on this Hari Raya idea and it just need to be improve.

Idea and Concept 2
At last...i manage to have a few of research topic and idea...So I proudly present to the lecturers about what i had planned to do and the list below are the same list that i brought to the lecturers for the consultation and approval...
Research Topic :
1) How to present the culture of Silat Melayu trough Multimedia
2) How to attract teenage to learn Silat Melayu trough Multimedia
3) How to put the feeling of love to Silat Melayu to audience trough Multimedia
4) How to put the curiosity about Silat Melayu and the feeling of love to the country to the teenage
through Multimedia
5) How to prevent social problem nowadays by encourage teenage to learn Silat Melayu trough
Multimedia
Idea for Video
1) My First Idea for my FYP is making a short VFX video that will tell about a man who lived in 1950-1960 who is really love and like silat. He is never bored and give up in training this beautiful and fantastic malay martial art and culture. This man is actually a young man who is around 20-30 years old. In this short video, I will show the young man training and training at difference location and evey scene will show he is training different skills at different place. My motive for this video is to tell young generation now that this culture is really a very good thing to learn and to follow. I will combine both physicall and inside energy skills to give variety and some exegerration into this video.
VFX element : 3d background | The aura effects | Crack and Falling Stone | Dynamics + Particles | 3d Objects to interract
2) Actually this idea inspired by reading history book. In that book, it tells how this Silat culture being used by most of Malay in Tanah Melayu to fight with British, Japanese, and Communist just to protect their religion, race and country. This is why I think teenagers now have to learn this Silat Melayu to prevent it from missing from this world. This idea is about to show and tell how useful this SIlat in that time for protect the family, village and also to counter-attack the foreign power from taking the country. This story basically will take one big name from history book and the story will be arrange according to the history about the selected man. Since i'm not planning to do realistic history movie, I decided to use the history as a guideline only and will not make the 100% as written in history. Most of the scene will show on how Silat teach us to be brave, leader,to protect and also to control ourself
VFX elements : 3d background | 3d objects to interract | crowd/enemy | Effects
3) This story will show the different between young Malay now and young Malay at 1940-1960. This movie will be divided into two parts which the first part will show, how teenagers nowadays spent their time doing nothing but having fun and get nothing at the end. This idea is actually can be presents in two ways. The first way is an old man come to the group of 4-5 males whis is just 'lepaking' at the roadside and singing. The old man then advised the group and then compare them with the young man at 1940-1960.While the young man listen to the old man, the visual will show accordingly to what the old man tell. The second idea is while the group of 5 young males walking without any purpose, suddenly by anyway, they are accidentally get into the past world and while they are at that world, confusing, an old man approach them and adopted them as a student and give them a Silat Melayu movement.

WOWW!!!!!.....5 research topics and 3 Ideas....not bad right??...maybe i made a mistake by considering that the ideation part is the most difficult part...and the hardest thing to do. I've changed my perception about ideation and after doing this i really believe that the ideation is not that difficult and easy to do. That perception remain untill i went to consult the lecturers and right after i came out from the lecturers room i going back to my old perception which the ideation part is the most difficult part to do.hahaha...WHY???...this is what happen in the lecturers room
Topic Research
1) hurmmm...No
2) hurmmm...No
3) hurmmm...Not Suitable
4) hurmmm...No
5) hurmmm...also No..
Lecturer : Are u a Dm student of FA student?...what are you going to do for research actually?.
Me : hurmm..Silat...all those topics are about Silat...(blurrrr)
Lecturer : Let me tell you about the palm oil and soy bean.....
bla bla bla...
Idea :
1) there is no impact to audience...just a silat show....what is so special about this idea??..
2) the story is hard to tell in 2 minutes. Nothing Special. It is just like war and the Silat is not really expose.....
3) too long for 2 minutes video. the story will make the Silat scene short. The audience are hard to understand....
bla bla bla....
ARRGhhh...so the result is none of 5 research topics and 3 Ideas being approved and thats mean i have to go back and do it again and again and again...

Idea and Concept 1
Vroomm....Vrooomm...the journey started....so for the ideation part i have to do some research and have to decide what i want to do. Oppss....forget to say that our theme for this semester is CULTURE....i repeat...CULTURE...yeayy...i like this theme since it is very large and I have many choices to do..okay..after a few research and discussion with friends and families....i decided to take the old malay culture which is SILAT MELAYU...I'm doing this because i have passion in SILAT MELAYU and i see that this culture is now are being forgotten and I have to do something to make SILAT MELAYU become popular again and young generation will be love to learn the SILAT MELAYU. That is the starting point for my project and here is where i start thinking on what i want to do for My FA and also SRI
My Concern is about :
1) Why malaysians nowadays especially malay are obsess with Ninja, Kung-fu, and Karate??
2) Is silat only for fighting??
3) Why peoples nowadays not really interested in Silat?
4) Is there any way to Present silat in a very good and attractive way?

Ideation
Wooohhooo.....ideation??..actually this is the most important part and the most difficult part to do for me. I said so because idea is something fresh that we have to bring out from our own brain by referring to some referrences. Ideation is the main thing for this project since if this part is not done and not being approved by the lectures that's mean we cannot proceed to the next level..arrgghhh...
