Challenge 3 Ideas - Games

Originally, Kush and the others planned to create a game called Foose Ball. It was actually based on the Table Football, only we intended to make it life-sized.


But then, we decided to change it because we felt that it wasn't original enough. So, our 2nd idea was 'King of the Hills', which is also a life-sized game. The rules basically goes like this :
- Each person takes a turn, rolling a life-sized dice, and the number of steps they take moving forward depends on the number on the dice.
- However, if one lands on a CHALLENGE BOX, he/she will have to do the challenge before the game can proceed. It could be anything, from as simple as going back a step, or doing some dance moves on the spot before proceeding to the next player's turn. Usually the challenge consists of more than one options, where the player opts to do this than the other.
- The final objective of all players are the 'Center', meaning the 'top of the Hill', and the first player who arrives there, is the 'King of the Hills'.

This is just a rough sketch I made, illustrating how the King of the Hills looks like :





I realise it's not a very good job, but I hope the idea gets through. The arrows indicate that the person who lands on it must move forward (or backwards, depending on the arrow's direction) according to the number of times listed there. The Question Mark is a mystery challenge the player must perform. Simpler challenges are further away from the 'Top of the Hill', while tougher challenges are closer to it. The final step before the player reaches the 'Top of the Hill' is always the toughest challenge, or requires the player to step way further back. Also, the challenge that is completed on a certain box will still be there, and the next time a player lands on it, a different challenge will be presented.

Rules are still subject to change depending on the group members majority decision. That's all for Challenge 3's rough idea.

Challenge 2 - A new start, the process

CHALLENGE 2
'A new start'

Heloo, so for our challenge 2 which is the music video, we have decided to use the stopmotion technique to make the music video. A simple example of this has been posted earlier by member, denny. (:

STOPMOTION
Stop motion is basically making a video but photography wise.. instead of capturing one long film show, we take multiple photographs at everymotion of something or a particular topic and we
put it together to make, well.. a stop motion production :D

Our main subject matter for this project is an underwear pillow. yes, an underwear pillow. The question is, how do we implement something so abnormal and giving it a meaning? here are some very basic ideas on how how we could implement.

Basically, we want the pillow to 'have a life' in this production, giving it some sort of feel. What if we made the pillow look sexy? maybe it could be used as medicine for something?.. Maybe even giving it its own imaginary world.

Challenge 2-Idea

Here is an idea of a stop-motion video that I suggested for this challenge 


We could use the pillowcase instead of the duck. The music video will be about how the underwear end up becoming a pillowcase. :)

First Post!

Heres the first post in our blog

    We are 6 in a group, Alvin from Brunei, Hoi Jun, Ajim and Jun from Malaysia, Kush from India and Denny from Malaysia. We first came up with the name 4Eagles, but after thinking again, we ended up with the name FourNations. Basically, the 4 in the name represents the number of countries we come from, and instead of countries, we use nations. 

This is our group logo: 

The shield is made up of the flags our of countries.

The wings in our logo represents freedom, and think freely.

Please look forward to our future activities.
