N.E.mation! 10 Top 10 Team - Duck Duck Glucose's Team Aims & Ideologies

7:45 PM
N.E.mation 10!
Duck Duck Glucose's Aims & Ideologies
Cedar Girl's Secondary School

Ong Jing Wen
(15 Years Old)

Jing Wen who takes part actively in her Co-Curricular Activity (CCA), Infocomm club together with Haziqah and Samantha. They took part in this N.E.mation! contest every single year since Secondary 1 and was very determined into getting into one of the Top 10 Teams. This year was the first year that they entered the Top 10 Team finalist and they were really happy that their efforts paid off.

Jing Wen is someone of great positivity that always makes funny puns which boost the group's morale through their never ending joy and laughter. 

She feels that being able to be in the Top 10 is a surreal experience and is superbly grateful to have gotten this opportunity to finally produce their very own idea through a video animation. All in all, it is the journey that matters and not the final results so even if the group doesn't win she feels that all that matters is that they've already put in their best efforts into this contest.

Samantha Gladys Tjong
(15 Years Old)

Samantha is a shy yet determined girl and is also the leader of the team. Despite many failed attempts during the past few N.E.mation! contest. She still tried her very best to improve herself from all her past experiences in the previous contests.

She made it up only to the Top 40 in Secondary 1 and only got as far to Top 100 in Secondary 2. This year she led the team under much changes to progress into the Top 10 of N.E.mation! 10. She felt really contented and honored to have been given this opportunity to turn their story into reality as they had to sacrifice a lot during the one week selection period during the holiday period. 

She also said that they had difficulty completing all their homework due to the commitments required of them for this contest. However, they managed to balanced it out after getting used to the momentum. 

She enjoyed this process and is glad that she had this experience with her fellow peers and wouldn't feel disheartened with the outcomes of this contest as she felt that the journey matters the most too. 

Nur Haziqah Abdul Rahman
(15 Years Old)

Haziqah went through exactly the same thing as Jing Wen as they were in the same team since Secondary 1. 

However, I feel that Haziqah has great potential as she portrays herself as someone that people can depend on. She is confident and cheerful which gives her a prospective future in the working industry. This is because she need not worry about any obstacles faced in the future as she can calmly tackle it in the most effective and efficient way possible.

Lynette Cheow
(15 Years Old)

This is Lynette 1st time participating in N.E.mation! contest because unlike the rest of the team members, she isn't in the same CCA, Infocomm Club.

This means that she has never been exposed to animation production before. However, the team was given the opportunity to add a member in when they got into the Top 10 Teams this year. Lynette whom didn't want to forego such a fantastic opportunity, decided to join them as she would be proceeding into Secondary 4 next year and would no longer get such a great chance like this. 

One of the main reasons that she joined was because she had saw some of the previous works from different groups before and felt that it would be interesting to try it out too.

She is very determined in ensuring that the other team member efforts into getting into Top 10 is not gone to waste. Moreover, she felt honored and grateful for being added into their group especially when she did not have the same amount of experience as compared to the rest.

N.E.Mation! 10 Top 10 Team - Duck Duck Glucose's Progress & Challenges

11:51 PM
N.E.mation 10!
Duck Duck Glucose's Progress & Challenges

Nur Haziqah Working Really Hard
As All Of Them Focused On Producing The Animation For Their Final Product


Challenges Faced By This Amazing Team
The Ducks Are Having Their Heads Tight Up By Calculations & Planning

Software such as ADOBE Flash that usually crashes due to certain unknown reasons, which the team rectifies by making sure they save their work every single time with CTRL+S every minor changes done on their animation.

They have difficulties creating the animations as it requires numerous scenes for just one particular movement that they want on their final product.

"100% Positivity Shown With Their Funny Puns"
They Are Super Optimistic In Getting Their Job Done

They also had difficulties focusing day in and out in front of the computer which is relatively tiring after prolonged hours in front of the computer. This is why they remain optimistic by staying positive with the help of their peers by cheering each other up with jokes and puns. They will also take breaks in between to ensure that they are well-rested before continuing with their work.

They will also share food among themselves by munching on something to keep themselves active so that they can focus on creating a wonderful animation with minimal flaws.

Lastly, they had difficulties visualizing different scene on the animation so they had to act it on personally as it is easier related with a real life simulation. This allows them to build on a particular scene with the best expression and facial features that they found was nice.

A Well Deserved Break For Them !!

IntroDUCKtion
Amazing Animation on "Vision"

These four beautiful young girls joined N.E.mation! 10 this year due to their interest in animation. The three of them which includes Nur Haziqah, Ong Jing Wen & Samantha Gladys are in the same Co-Curricular Activity (CCA), Infocomm Clubs. 

N.E.mation! 10

They joined N.E.mation! each year through their CCA with a positive mindset to strive to achieve the best. Despite their past failures, they came out even better and stronger. They were determined in working even harder to achieve their goals of being able to fly to United States of America (USA).

All of Them Are Proud To Be In 
"The Home of The Top 10"

This really showed great emphasis on a quote "Nothing is impossible as long as you're willing to strive harder to achieve your goals" Therefore, this year they worked really hard and their efforts were finally paid off as they managed to get into this year's N.E.mation! 10's Top 10 this year with a new added Member, Lynette who was interested in joining the team when they were offered to add a new member in.

Their story places great emphasis on "Vision" and it touches on all the Five Aspects of Total Defence; Civil Defence, Military Defence, Economic Defence, Social Defence and Psychological Defence. Their story is told via the means of an animation that focuses on Total Defence in a perception that not many do. 

In the aspect of Civil Defence, they want to show the importance of staying alert so that we are alert in protecting our country in times of any imminent threats.

Secondly, Military Defence is brought out in showing how family members that are not part of the military or have yet to serve National Service can support those who are currently serving. 

As for Economic Defence, their emphasis is showcasing how all of us must remain open minded by making sure we open our eyes to new possibilities especially Aerospace Technology.

Social Defence is of great importance and the group's story wants to promote peace and harmony among each other in ensuring that everyone can work together to maintain a harmonious Multi Racial Society.

Lastly, for Psychological Defence their emphasis is that everyone has a part to play in the Total Defence of Singapore.

That is why the story not only wants to tell everyone to focus on their "Vision" in looking out for anything that threatens Singapore's Safety but also to support every single National Service man as they embark on their journey to learn more about Defence. This is to ensure that everyone feels safe as they know that we are well-protected by everyone in this country.

Top 20 Teams Were Selected at N.E.mation! 10's Top 40 Pitching Held on 08th September 2015 from 3pm till 5.30pm @ Nanyang Polytechnic

10:43 AM
Top 40 Pitching

N.E.mation! 10
Top 40 Pitching Results
Top 20 Teams Were Selected

MXHarVey
SINGAPORE CHINESE GIRLS' SCHOOL
Focuses On The Perfect Cupcake
Focuses on "Social Defense"

It was a great interesting exposure at the Top 40 Pitching at Nanyang Polytechnic;I had the chance to catch a glimpse on how the Pitching was conducted.

This group was one of the three that I managed to take a peek at. Their basis on social defense shows a great importance of the different cultures and identity of people. Equality among races and religions are the utmost priority and the cakes is depicts perfectly that Singapore is the Perfect Cupcake: A cupcake that consists a perfectly mixed mixture of different kinds of ingredients.

Judges of Their Group
Asking Certain Questions & Giving Pointers

Even though they did not make it to the Top 20, I believe that they will succeed in their future endeavors.

Duck Vaders
CHIJ ST. NICHOLAS GIRLS' SCHOOL
Focuses on All Five Aspects of Total Defense

Their RAP was indeed amazing and they deserved to be one of the Top 20 Teams of N.E.mation! 10 this year.

Certain aspects that they have to improve on that was highlighted during the pitch was that the rap was a little off their desired focus. It sounded more towards "Military Defense" instead of "Total Defense". 

Moreover, the judges asked intuitive questions such as "If you were given more time, how will you work on the story?"

Their replies were that they will improve on the message that they were trying to deliver via the rap. They also mentioned that they would further develop their story line and make it more relatable to people.

Duck Vaders
FINISHING POSE

Honestly speaking, their "RAP" was superbly interesting and unique. To me I personally feel that they're quite a strong team due to their unique choice of delivery. I believe that they might be able to compete among the Top 10 Finalist if they were to improve on certain loop holes that were mentioned by the judges.

So The Results Are Out, What's Next?

Over the Next 2 Days, we have scheduled a series of workshops to:

1) Enrich the Top 20 Teams experience in animation;

2) Help the Top 20 teams further refine and improve their story in preparation for Saturday’s Top 20 SuperPitch where we will pick the Top 10 Teams of N.E.mation! 10.

I'm A Personal Poem Fanatic
They Did A Great One!

Their focus was to provide advises for the viewers and to help change the negative traits of people for the better. They were trying to introduce the eye in a better perspective in the sense that every single part of the eye plays an important role and it signifies something of Singapore too.

CEDAR GIRLS' SECONDARY SCHOOL

However, it was recommended by the judges that they should not focus on the "EyeLid" even though they meant it in a good way as it sounds exactly like "I-Lead" so that it encourages leadership. 

I'm glad that they managed to got into the Top 20 Teams too. For the other teams pitching for the Top 10 Finalist, I wish you all the best and hope that your hard work over the weeks will be paid off. Even if you didn't enter the Top 10 Finalist or you aren't the winner of the N.E.mation! 10, I believe that it's the experience and the knowledge that you gain that matters the most.
