Fully sponsored overseas trip to visit a renowned animation studio worth more than $20,000
The Champion Teamis none other than the team I've been spending most of my journey throughout N.E.mation! 10 with. I'm so proud of them as their hard work and efforts were paid off, especially after consistently going that extra mile to stay back to complete their animation video. They were always the last to leave the production studio at Nanyang Polytechnic. This is done so that they could perfect their production piece within that short span of three weeks.

A Funny Team Of Positive Students Never Giving Up Despite All The Hurdles They Needed To Overcome Beatty Secondary School
Ang Jia Shing Adeline
(15 Years Old) Adelineis meticulous and focuses intuitively in whatever she does as one can easily see the amount of efforts that she put into ensuring that the images are as flawless as possible. She showed great compassion in her work as she enjoys animation too like the rest of them. She will always make funny jokes to ensure that the dynamics and the morale of the team is strong. A cheerful and bubbly person like her is really important in ensuring that the team does not sway away from their goals due to undesired feelings of negativity that may arise when stumbling upon a difficult problem. As mentioned, this project of using the Praxinoscope to showcase Total Defence in a different perspective requires a lot of time and efforts. They had to stay till as late at 10pm to complete whatever they set out to do for the day. This was to ensure that they could finish their product on time. However, being one of the last few to leave the production venue may be quite demoralizing but Adeline and Fazlin's positivity has really influenced the team in ensuring that they did not give up.
Evan Tan Jia Ho
(14 Years Old) Evan Tanmay be the youngest in the team but he works really hard in ensuring that the team succeeds in whatever they set out to do. He always strives for the best by ensuring that the work done is of a certain standard before proceeding on. He is meticulous and very helpful in making sure that his peers are well aware of what are the outstanding problems that are needed to be rectified and completed. He will try his very best to correct some mistakes that his peers may have made, which makes him a very capable and reliable teammate that the team can really rely on. He took the initiative to help out with the addition of colors to certain portions of the images that they were working on when Adeline ran into certain problems doing so due to certain software complications.
Muhd Zulfazlin Bin Zainal (15 Years Old) Muhd Zulfazlin is a cheerful and carefree student that always maintains his positivity in whatever he does by cracking jokes day in and out. He is a korean fanatic that always try his best to stand out with his exotic moves and poses so that he can look as fabulous as possible but will always make all his peers laugh at his "Self Believed Glamorous" acts. This is why he never fails to make his group lively and cheerful despite the long hours they had to do over-time to complete their entire project that is finally nearing its end this Friday. His role that strikes like a catalyst to boost the Team's Morale is really important in ensuring that they will never give up despite how tough it may be.
Chua Hui Min
(16 Years Old) Hui Min is the oldest among the entire team and is by far the only Secondary Four Student who took part in N.E.mation!. This is because most of them would stop other commitments to focus on O Levels but she chose to strive for her dreams in this area of interest and tried to balance out her studies with this commitments. During Secondary One, she joined N.E.mation! 7 and was one of the teams to make it to the "Top 100". This was a great achievement for the school at that point of time as it was the first batch of Secondary One students to made it that far. However, they did not make it past the "Top 40 Teams" but that did not stop her from pursuing her dreams. She was so determined in getting to the "Top Ten Teams" that she decided to joined back N.E.mation! 8. However, their team during that particular year didn't make it to "Top 100". However, not only did she not gave up but also persevered to join again this year after learning from all her past mistakes. She was then appointed a new position in a new group, NEtitanxIIwhich only already had Fazlin and Adeline. However, an additional member could be added when they got in the Top 10 Teams and Hui Min went to search for a friend that would be interested to join too. Evan showed great interests and decided to join the team. All in all, Hui Min showed such a great passion for this particular area of interest that she went to apply for Direct-Poly Admission (DPA). She used this experiences gained from N.E.mation! to write a 600 words essay that was submitted together with her DPA Application. She was superbly happy that managed to get a place in the Animation Course she wanted in NanyangPolytechnic.
An Awesome & Cheerful Team
They Are Definitely Confident & Ready To Embrace Whatever They Seek

Difficulties in Adapting To Software They had numerous difficulties in accustoming to the software interfacesdue to their extensive need of painting and designing of the different images that they require for their Praxinoscope medium. This is why they had to transit to another software called Toon Boom as it is more feasible as compared to Photoshop as it allows easier sketching and smoothing of lines that are the building blocks of any image. Toon Boom Interface Detailed Drawings & Refinement Required
They are way behind schedule as the detailed refinements of their images require them to dedicate a lot of time. This is rectified by spending their own personal time to stay back to complete their work before ending off the day. For those who have missed out on the introduction, here's once again how the Praxinoscope medium looks like.
Close-Up Sneak Preview of The Animation
So How Did They Overcome All This Challenges?
Stay positive by taking breaks in between their production phase to ensure maximum focus when they are doing their refinement work.
They would also try to ask for feedback on their work so that they could get important pointers on how they can better refine their final product so that they could bring out what they are trying to portray of the Total Defence of Singapore.

"Reflection of The Past For A Better Future"
The four of them embarked on their journey by joining this amazing contest, N.E.mation! 10 not only to gain experience but also to fulfill their dreams in winning a trip to USA. This is the first year that they managed to be one of the Top 10 Teams that are competing for the Champion. Despite all the set backs, they wanted to show that a neighborhood school could win this competition too.
Hui Min joined this competition for four years straight from N.E.mation! 7 to 10 to gain experience as she is interested in this area of specialization. The group joined up with Hui Min since N.E.mation! 10 as they set their goals in aiming for the champion.
Despite numerous failed attempts, they felt that all those attempts were worthwhile as they managed to learnt a lot through their experience. This allowed them to improve themselves which brings them one step closer in pursuing their dreams. All of them worked towards their goal with this believe 'We believe we can achieve and to Achieve we must Believe!"

More About Their Story
Their story focuses on the reflections of the past as they mirror the pioneer efforts to ours. Their story encompasses two aspects of Total Defence; Economic Defence & Psychological Defence.
In the aspects of Economic Defence, they used images that are shown on a reflection of the Praxinoscope that will look somewhat like the video shown below. Some of the images includes a Merlion that turns into a $1 coin, NEWater bottle, a transformation from the past transportation methods, Trishaw to cars as one of the main mode of transport now and a part on Changi Airport as well.
Praxinoscope's Unique Reflection
NEtitanxII
As for Psychological Defence, they included Sam Tsui a depiction between Sam Tsui Women in the past and a construction worker now. This mirrors our Pioneer efforts as it shows how much Singapore has changed by using better technology such as tractors, forklifts and cranes to build a better nation.
They also included images that focuses on Racial Harmony, Singapore Flag that is a National Symbolization of Unity. Lastly, they will present an image of interconnecting hands which symbolizes people working together in a harmonious nation to build a better future by duplicating the mindset that took us this far.(e.g. SG100)
