Juha Fiilin presented on his experimental motion capture course for graphic design and film students. The course aimed to teach students the new skills of motion capture and 3D animation through having them create scenes for an existing sci-fi story over 3 weeks. Students formed groups, storyboarded scenes, captured motion in a studio, cleaned and edited the data, animated their scenes in 3D, and composited final videos. The intensive course required many tutors but succeeded in engaging students through hands-on projects where they took ownership of their work from concept to final videos.
This digital portfolio is based on my learning journey throughout my diploma course so far. It has my experiences with class assignments, some freelance works and my internship experience at VMLY&R Malaysia.
This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

2. My background
Filmmaker and a graphic designer with focus on film.
JUHA FIILIN: EXPERIMENTAL MOTION CAPTURE FOR BEGINNERS
3. Teaching background
Various courses and workshops about film graphics and
visualization for both film and graphic design students.
JUHA FIILIN: EXPERIMENTAL MOTION CAPTURE FOR BEGINNERS
4. JUHA FIILIN: EXPERIMENTAL MOTION CAPTURE FOR BEGINNERS
Challenge
How to build a situation where the graphic designers were creators
together with the film students?
5. A course,
where both film and graphic design students would learn
something completely new and create something together.
JUHA FIILIN: EXPERIMENTAL MOTION CAPTURE FOR BEGINNERS
6. JUHA FIILIN: EXPERIMENTAL MOTION CAPTURE FOR BEGINNERS
Idea was born…

Writing a story would take too much time.
JUHA FIILIN: EXPERIMENTAL MOTION CAPTURE FOR BEGINNERS
8. JUHA FIILIN: EXPERIMENTAL MOTION CAPTURE FOR BEGINNERS

9. I proposed a story,
Divine Consultants, an animated scifi comedy series (10x10´)
JUHA FIILIN: EXPERIMENTAL MOTION CAPTURE FOR BEGINNERS
10. My story was in development,
and therefore I felt comfortable having it “hacked” by the students

11. Story logline
Oogle and Joy swear eternal love, but can the love last when

JUHA FIILIN: EXPERIMENTAL MOTION CAPTURE FOR BEGINNERS
12. I had created a strong visual look for Divine Consultants, but to
make the course engaging and experimental for the students I
would have to give the student free hands.
JUHA FIILIN: EXPERIMENTAL MOTION CAPTURE FOR BEGINNERS
