3 Ideas of own

1 Underwater Surfing

As an ocean lover, I wanted to create this filter for all the ocean lover and kids out there. It will be a filter where you can be under the sea and just look at the fishes swim by. There will also be sharks, crabs and other sea creatures.

2 Drink Water Filter 

When you open your mouth, the water in the bottle will pour.

This is a filter made to remind people to drink water everyday and it will be on the funny side. At first when the people look at the screen, sweat will be all over the people face to make the people look like he's sweating really bad. To create engagement, people will have to open their mouth then only the water will comes down. After the mouth is filled with water, the people's face will become swollen.

3 AR Placement (Cats)

As you can see, the new era is filled with cats images, cat videos everywhere. Any videos with cats has gone viral. This filter is definitely for the cat lovers! Imagine not only seeing the cat images but playing around with the AR Cats around you.

After getting feedback from Mr. Razif, he asked me to continue working on the underwater world filter. I added an engagement with the viewer which is to blink both eyes to make the fishes swim by. 

I have added different types of fishes to the filter to make it more fun. There are even sharks and crabs in the filter. As shown below in the visual scripting panel, t really requires a lot of patience and workload to script each sea creatures and to check for errors when one of the fishes just won't move.

I also added the instruction 'Blink your eyes' at the beginning of the filter and it disappears once the viewer blink his eyes and the fishes will started coming out.

Below is my filter tryout by my friend. It showcases how the filter is used and the types of water creatures to be seen in the filter. 

There are also crabs and sharks to be found in my underwater filter to add more fun and engagement to the audience.

REFLECTION

I had fun throughout the process of making the filter and I felt great satisfaction after successfully creating the filter with an outcome that I wanted it to be. Although it was a tough journey as I had encountered a lot of issues, such as not able to import the animated background to effect house (because I wanted to make a movable background). It also required a lot of patience and workload to include so many different types of sea creatures in my filter but I'm glad that I made it. Overall it was a good experience completing this task and making a complete filter all by my own and I'm really satisfied with the outcome.
