Biography
Hello! My name is Hadi. Born in Borneo Island, I grew up watching tons of films. I'm a passionate filmmaker. My love for Motion Graphic resonates when I was introduced to the world of Title Sequence where I was able to merge both of my passion. I strongly feel the creative process is as important as the execution when creating a project.

Description
Duality is my Grad Project for the Digital Design Program in VFS. This project was inspired by a quote 'Rhythm is everything in boxing' by Sugar Ray Robinson. The concept of symmetry and duality is fascinating. The east and the west. The Power and the Grace. Although both Thai Boxing and Ballet seemed different, there a lot of similarities between both art form.

Communication Objective
The objective for this project is to showcase the similarities of both art form. The motion graphic was inspired by studies on the Physics of Dance which explores the connection between science and dance.
 
Tools Used

Adobe Premiere Pro - I used it mainly to edit and color correct the motion piece.
Adobe Photoshop - I used it to create all my lookframes and storyboard.
Adobe Illustrator - Most typographic elements were fine tuned in illustrator
Adobe After Effects - This was my main tool for motion graphic, tracking, rotoscoping, colour grading. I also animated most of the mathematical assets and typography.
Adobe Media Encoder - Render tool.
