Week 5 - The hunt of an Animator

In this week, we been inform that will be only have a tutorial session with Mr. Charles. In this session, he corrected our questions to better proper instructions and he did asked us that is better that we could look for an animator to interview. Then, Mr. Charles suggested us to look for Mr. Martin Chong. Nick so then emailed Mr. Martin Chong. Surprisingly, he replied in a quite short time. After his reply us, we found out that he is not an animator, unfortunately, he is just a video producer. In between, he did introduce us to other lecturer which is actually teaching animation. 

Again, Nick emailed Mr. Ng Kim Boon to ask for the time for interview unfortunately, Mr. Ng Kim Boon did not reply our next email due to time crashes.

Here are the list of questions:
