Areas of Creative Works / Techniques and Materials: Writing the lyric

The researcher and a sound designer have co-studied the music about happiness. We agree with the arrangement of musical harmony using melody of musical notes in the Key of G that created beautiful sounds, heart-felt satisfactions, and suitable tone for the meaning of the lyrics about happiness. The time signature of “Simple quadruple time” or “4/4” was selected because of its easy listening, not-too-fast rhythms. “Cubase Pro” computer music application was used to help the music composer appropriately. We have learned from the orchestra band and chosen various musical instruments for matching the music with the meaning of the song, “Sunshine.”

The orchestra musical instruments are selected as follows:

String Instruments: 2 Violins, 1 Cello, 1 Viola, 1 Guitar, and 1 Piano

Brass Instruments: 1 Trombone and 1 Trumpet

Woodwind instruments: 1 Flute

Percussion Instruments: 1 Tambourine and 1 Bongo Drum

Creating the characters and graphics with Illustrator application

Designing the characters

Mother: The beautiful mother is putting on the yellow apron to represent a woman who enjoys cooking for her family.

Teacher: The aged teacher is wearing a brown suit and tie to represent a respectable person.

Darling: The young man is wearing pink t-shirt and black jeans to represent a teenager falling in love.

Designing the graphic images of festival-day flower

Pink Carnation: For our mom on the International Mother’s Day.

White Rose: For our dad on the International Father’s Day.

Yellow Daisy: For our teacher on the International Teacher’s Day

Red Rose: For our darling on the Valentine’s Day

Designing the other graphic images

Parrots: They are colorful pets that have beatiful sound and be able to imitate human voice. The are friendly and always make us happy. This image is used for the scene of “Birds are singing at sunrise.”

Sun Flowers: They are elegant and strong flowers that always face the

sun for encountering a new day. This image is used the scene of “Leaves are dancing to say hello.”

Heart Image is the symbol of love. I make the pattern of them for representing the scene of “I give you with all my Heart.”

Balloons: In the Balloon Festivals, people are full of harmony, unity, and friendship. I design a balloon attaching a gift box floating in the sky for the scene of “I have a little box for everyone”.

Airplane: When we were young, we always looked at an airplane in the sky. This gave us a lot of imagination and happiness. Since an airplane usually full of passengers, so I use it for representing the scene of “Join anyone share anyone.”

Clouds: Clouds in the sky give the feeling of comfortable, imagination and freedom, so I put them in all sky scenes.

Colorful balloons flying out of the gift box: When we love and care someone, we will let them know by giving a gift on the festival day. This is a way to share the happiness to others. In fact, you can always give a box of happiness to people around you. In this motion, I compare many colorful balloons to happiness. This

image perfectly represents the scene of “Open the box. Open the Happiness”

Taddy bear: The lovely pink Taddy bear with Santra hat is holding colorful sweet Lollipop. She is sitting on the green box with letter “H” and “N” on each side. And the box is floating in the sky by two pink balloons. This image be able to represent the scene of

“A Little Box of Happiness” very well.

Fire Works: As we know, the fireworks in the sky are best display for the final show of festival. Then I design the fireworks to get along well with other graphics for the final scene of this motion to enrich the happiness.

Final Scene

– To get rid of green color and animate all graphics with After Effect Application.

– Then the girl clips are ready for using with any scenes.

– The dancing girl with valley scene

Design title and graphics symbol for the motion graphic

“Sunshine” is the title of this motion graphic to convey clear and concise meanings of morning sunrise in the middle of a valley. This gives the men and women powers to train themselves well and forward the gift of happiness to others.

Choosing a typeface for the title

This researcher chose the typeface, “Coconut Beach” for the title, “Sunshine” because the font has delicate fine-looking lines that are compatible to the background music accompanied by the singing of a young lady who was the lead dancer. In addition, the typeface has contemporary characters, casual and not too conventional, consistent with the style of graphics and background images used.

Graphic Symbol

The researcher presented the graphic symbol using scenery of the valley in the morning sunrise, to show the powers of Nature that is the foundation of happiness for men and women. Simplified graphic lines of the images were used to support the memories of the viewers and be a remarkable symbol.

Modifier words for “Sunshine”

The words, “Happy Dance for Everyone” were used to place under the title, “Sunshine” for a better understanding of the theme. The researcher chose the typeface, “Tahoma,” for the modifier words because it is a popular font on computer screens and other digital devices. Even in small letters, the font is clear and easy to read.
