My Learnings from Webinars

  The seminar “Gamified Cycles: Insights in Game Animation Loops” was held on December 13, 2025, in Gordon College Room 505 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM and was organized by The Skyrocket Collective, our group. Hosted by Ms. Hershelle Agasa with our resource speaker, Mr. Mark Angelo Quindara, a 2D animator at Mega Cat Studios. Talking about the game animation from the smooth cycle transition of animation in both film and game. From the event I learned the process of making a game animation, such as creating the sprites and smooth animation. The frames are for better animation of the game character. Also, I learned about the types of animation in the game industry. The speaker tackled the different types of animation, such as character animation, VFX animation, object animation, etc., which are used for games—the purpose and how to integrate them into the overall gameplay.   It was a good seminar for me, even though it had a lot of problems beforehand. Our resource speaker was good ...

  The event titled “The Storytelling of Art: A Guide to Concept Design” was a live webinar organized by The Skyrocket Collective and conducted via Google Meet on November 28, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The session was led by Ms. Candice Torres, who served as the resource speaker. The webinar focused on the fundamentals of concept design and how visual storytelling plays an important role in animation, games, and film. From our organized webinar, I learned the importance of concept art in film and game animation. I believe concept art, from the word “concept,” gives life to the idea in visual form, like, for example, if you have a written plot, script, or gameplay. In my opinion, creating concept art is necessary for the client and director to see the vibe or approach of everything they imagined before the storyboarding She also shares her process in making concept art, and I am amazed at how she renders her art.  Also, I learned from Ms. Candice that the use of grayscale ...

  The webinar “Scene Synergy: How to Balance Interactions between 2D Characters and Environment Art” was held on November 22, 2025, which happened on Google Meet and was streamed on Facebook Live, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, and was organized by The Skyrocket Collective, our group. Hosted by Ms. Hershelle Agasa with our resource speaker, Ms. Alyssa Beatrice Dela Cruz, a 2D animator at Top Draw Animation, Inc. Discussing the principles of physics, weight, contact in 2D movement, and a short anatomy and positioning of characters in a 2D background in the animation aspect. From the topic discussed, I learned how important anatomy and character layout or positioning are in creating better perspective and in effectively delivering the message of a scene. I also realized that proper anatomy is essential in animation to achieve natural and smooth movement, from rigging up to the final output.  Through the discussion, I also learned the importance of assigning clear responsibilities, es...

  We 4th-year students organized a film showing event entitled “ Pallete Spark: Unveiling the Hues of Passion and Creativity of GCCCS BSEMC Students” to showcase our hardwork capstone, our animated film. There are 5 BSEMC DAT groups, which are SalinGuhit Tales, Animatoons Productions, Animaya Studio, High Five Animations, and my group, Tanaw Animation Studios, who show the process of the capstone from research to animation pipeline. Also, opening a studio booth to exhibit and market our merchandise at Gordon College Function Hall on November 3, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This event taught me the importance of planning, from giving roles to budgeting and creating an event outline for a smooth flow of the event. The opening of the booth, for me, is the one major tiring part of the event, as we are not just showing but also selling our merch. For this experience I became more appreciative of the vendors and learned things that we can improve the next time we organize a booth and ...

The webinar I attended was “Cloudstaff ROAR Year End Party 2025” organized by Cloudstaff for their year-end party this year, was held on December 6, 2025, at Philippine Arena. With special guest BINI, SpongeCola, and the Manila Philharmonic.   From the event, I learned how important organizing, from our large event like this, it will take a lot of time for planning and prepping.  From guest list, event flow to ticket selling/distribution. The event was smooth, and we got to enjoy and take a seat, which was good, as we were also not early , but I would like to say the artists who performed were great, and props to Yael Yuzon he is great at communicating with the audience and hyping up the crowd, especially when they are resting after the performance, to minimize the dead air.  Lastly, my biggest takeaway from this event is the importance of appreciating and celebrating a milestone like this to the Cloudstaff company, where they gather their employees plus their famili...

The event I attended was “Basics of Audio/Video Processing,” organized by AKUNI PROJECTS on Facebook Live, discussing the technicality of video and audio process formats, such as representation signals, codecs, compression filtering, and enhancement. From the webinar, I learned in-depth technical fundamentals and terms of audio and video processing.  I become familiar with the basic process in audio as it tackles the topic we discussed in our previous subject in 2nd year. Which are sound production, frequency, waveform, and audio format. Furthermore, the speaker explains the visual format, video resolution, and frames per second.  I t also shows how to color grade/correct and enhance audio in Audacity. But my biggest takeaway from this webinar is the implementation of not just an enhancement but the use of the right format in audio and visual output for better quality.
