1)The industry is keep emit smoke,the tree cut down,the people is playing in the rubbish river, the world become dirty brownish , people start to get the disease.

2)nuclear boom.people become master and die.

Reference for my nuclear bomb idea:

Ideas for exercise and assignment 2:

so i pick the first idea and i add more shot and texture for it

This is my final outcome for assignment 2:

At first i don't have UFO in my assignment 2, after i show mr kanas he say that no technology impact in my project so i decide to add UFO in my video.

Nuclear bomb tutorial

People on fire tutorial

Burned face tutorial

I found so tutorial for special effect that i want to do in my final project. The diagram that show below is my sketch for my final project.

In the first attempt sketch, the story is about the nuclear bomb destroy the city. After i show mr martin and mr kannan, they say my story is too long need to cut down and focus on the bomb part.Next they also say the people face bomb part is quick hard to the beginner so i decide to remove that part.

And this is the sketch i redo. I change the story a bit and remove the face burned part.

But when i doing my final project, i found that the footage is very hard to find and i have found some but that not the picture that i imaging so i decide to change the style of my final project, At first my video is like reality style and and some realistic special effect but now i change to illustrate style. I draw the screen in Ai the move to Ae to add the effect. Because the nuclear bomb already happen in our life, i scare it is not match to to the technology impact theme so i add some new idea in my video - search the death people's memory.

The references inspired me:

And this is the final outcome for my final project.
