help looking at the calender, cuz in the morning he is going to go to the
beach. After ready up his stuffs for tomorrow, he falls asleep. in the
dream, the boy was able to reach the beach that he always wanted, he
immediately took a deep breath to enjoy the scent of the sea breeze,
then he immediately rushed to build a sand castle, he worked hard for a
while. Soon after, the castle was completed. But as soon as he raised
the small flag, a crab quickly grabbed it and carried it to the sea. The
angry boy ran after him, but the little crab was fortunately saved by the

2.5 Idea Qualification:

2.5.1 The length of the final product:

11
We expect the movie to be about 1 and a half to 2 minutes long. In
Storyboard we set the timeline ahead of time to see how the movie
would go and follow it.
2.5.2 The role of each team member:
Nguyen Thai Hoa - Character design, Character modeling, Rigging, In
house scene animation, lighting and rendering.
Chu Le Ha Anh - Environment design, environment modeling (including
making waves), simple beach scene animation, lighting and rendering,

3.4 Lighting:
a, Beach scene:
We use one skydome light and area lights depend on each scene. The
light we set is showing that the child going to the beach in the morning.

b, In-house lighting:

At night, we create an area light outside the window, one light from the
lamp. In the morning, we create an area light from outside the window
just like the night, but the light turns to yellow and another area light from
the front.

4. Compositing:
4.1 Sound & music
We add background music and some environment sound to make the
film feel more realistic.
4.2 Lighting & color
We adjust color and lighting by After Effect. We also add some 2D
effects (day and night scene, last scene) so the film would have a
youngfull and childish atmosphere.

5. Conclusion:
Although the final product may not be so outstanding and only meets
about 70% of our expectations. We learned a lot, reviewed and improved
our 3D skills. Regarding teamwork, my team also did not work really
effectively, leading to being late to the deadline. But most of all, we are
all happy to have finished our product.

21
We would like to thank Mr. Le Tat Nguyen Khang, who guided and
supported us throughout the process of completing our product.
Finally, we would like to thank the team members and everyone for their
dedication during the past 10 weeks. Thank you so much.
