My, my, look how the time flies
In just a blink of an eye
It's already final time!
For this final project, we had to play an act with our own props and costumes! In a group of four, we have to come up with a plot, characters and make/get our own props.
My group, consist of Humaira, Aileen and Sakinah decided to play an act revolving anthropomorphic characters who attend a hero academy. It was hard to come up with ideas at first since some of our early ideas weren't unique or creative enough. Or rather, it will not even exceed the minimum of 1 minute that the lecturer gave for the play. Push comes to shove, we got the final ideas.
HERO 101
This play tells a story of the rivalry between four anthropomorphic characters; Bear(A bear), KuKu(A turtle), MuMu(A fox), and KaKa(a frog). Bear and KuKu, who's an A+ student of FiTARO Academy(Academy of heroes), always looked down the other two for being losers and famous for repeating their semesters in the academy due to failing a subject.
It begins with MuMu and KaKa who saw a hit-and-run accident happened to a cat. They rushed to help but was halted by Bear and KuKu for they misunderstood the situation. They thought MuMu and KaKa were bullying the cat. MuMu and KaKa were infuriated by such blame and broke into a fight. KaKa was beaten by KuKu and MuMu was beaten by Bear.
In the last moment, Bear was stopped by the cat. The cat then reveals itself as the dean of the Academy and proceed to fail everyone for they don't understand the true meaning of becoming a hero; to work together in a situation to help others and not bicker on who's the perfect hero.
I play as the character Bear, Humaira play as the sidekick, KuKu, Aileen plays as MuMu and Sakinah play as KaKa.
Here are our characters, each designed by our own.

Edited by both myself and Sakinah to get that comic vibe going.
Wrapping it all up, here's our play, recorded by Hannah!
The final outcome of this class for me, is to believe in myself and others, and being more confident to act as someone else. Of course, the purpose of this class is to help us get the idea of movement for our animation and whatnot but it was fun and entertaining to act in a different character rather than our own. To experience and be in someone else shoes, it gives you a new perspective and better understanding in developing our own characters in the future.
The cons of this class though, is I get to cringe at myself after seeing myself act.
It was fun,
We had a good run,
Thank you, Encik Ezwan,
Just hoping we won't repeat sem depan!😂😂😂
