For my personal project this term I am looking for a challenge in particle effects and video compositing. This is also a way to prepare me for my future work. In the future I would also like to work on my own in these two areas.

This time I was mainly inspired by Harry Potter. I have always liked the Harry Potter films. So this time I’m going to use the Harry Potter theme to make a short film about a magical showdown.

My story focuses on the fact that one day Aiken went to school and a portal appeared in the wall of the school. Aiken was stunned at the sight and reached out to touch it. After touching the portal, a bright light flashed and Aiken was transported to the magical world. Afterwards, Aiken had a magical duel with a wizard.

ection I also found a lot of references

There is something about the creation of effects that I am going to try this time using houdini. I have already found some tutorials online. And I’ve started to learn and hopefully I’ll be able to create the desired result.

This week I have made the general effect of the portal, next week should be able to complete the entire portal.

The following week I was going to go to school to borrow some of the equipment I needed to use. And start filming. And to make the CG scenes for the video.

is individual project is a new challenge for me. I will learn a lot more in this personal project.

I wanted to research this topic because I am a big fan of the game Pokémon. I have played all of the Pokémon games. I think about why I like this game IP, but a lot of it comes from my love for the Pokémon anime when I was a kid. When I grew up I realised that Pokémon was first an IP for a game.

For this question I wondered. Why do so many game IPs stay so popular and how do they make their IPs more well-known. In my opinion a lot of this is down to their film and television and anime incarnations. So for this essay I have a few main arguments.

• Why game IPs should be filmed and animated.
• What are the benefits of anime and film for game IPs?
• Do all game IPs need to be turned into films and movies, and which game IPs can be transformed in this way.

These are the main questions I want to explore

After that I will look for some theories to support my thesis
