Independent Learning – Young Woo Koh

The two primary tools that was useful to be throughout the semester was Adobe Premiere and Unity. As it was first time for me to use those tools, I did face many challenges using them.  Other than the class lectures, I learned a lot from the websites of each program vendors. For Unity, the Manual that was on the website helped me a lot. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/index.html Everything is categorized so that each topic is easy to be located, and it has detailed instructions with the screenshots of actual program.  Unity also...

Final Project – Young Woo Koh
