   Creative Multimedia is having the power to create mean or means of conveying and expressing information. It is also the products of creative multimedia studies; research-creation. By using creative multimedia’s concept, we can invent something new or innovation some old design to be a new, multi function things. And through creative multimedia, we can also use it to send an important message to the audience. For us, we were freedom using the Creative Multimedia to create some fantasy. What is Freedom of creating fantasy? It is a method that using creative multimedia to invent something that we were not able to be seen in real world and make it become can be seen through creative multimedia, just like making a fantasy comes true. There are several ways for us to freedom create fantasy, example like using Imagination, drawing, photography, games and videos.

          The first way of freedom of creating fantasy is Imagination. Imagination is the most powerful in this creativity world. Just like the quote from Oscar Wilde said, “The imagination imitates. It is the critical spirit that creates.” Imagination are most important is because we can create, think and make whatever we like or impossible things inside our imagination. Imagination sometimes can make a new invention that is possible to be create in real world. Many people especially like the adventure script or story writer like to imagine thing. They can even play with their imagination and create some interesting story and let the audience to enjoy it. The example is story like Harry Potter, Star Wars and The Lord of the Ring. Normally, Imagination is non-logical, because most of the things we imagine are impossible to happen in real world, just like Harry Potter, there is impossible to have magic power to make a bloom to fly on the sky. But the Harry Potter story has made to be seen by audience. So, Imagination is the first important way to create fantasy. “Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.” by George Bernard Shaw.

          The second way of freedom of creating fantasy is drawing. Drawing is a better way to create a fantasy too. Whatever we think, whatever we want, whatever it is impossible, we could make it be possible through drawing. Drawing are not limited, we can draw whatever that is not been seen in the world. Drawing mostly used by people to express themselves in their own emotion and thinking. Drawing can create horror or even excitement drawing art too. But now mostly, the people will using a method of drawing known as comic or manga drawing to create their own story which are impossible to be happening in real world. Many story like the latest and popular comic like Naruto, One piece and some more, older comic like Sailormoon are create by those cartoonist are all impossible to be happen in real world. But those stories were shown and saw by the audience through drawing too. So, drawing is one of the way to create fantasy too.

          The third way of freedom of creating fantasy is through video. Nowadays, except of comic, there is something called animation has been created to shown the story of a comic. Animation has some category which is 2D, 3D or even 4D animation. 2D animation normally used to make those comic from a paper with picture story to a moving video and show to audience. While for the 3D animation, it is the most popular among the children. 3D animation mostly created for cartoon with story. There are many 3D animation like Finding Nemo, Incredible and many more. there is a variety of 3D animation category which are outer space, machine, cartoon like human and animal character. People now are using 3D animation to create a story into a movie and let audience to feel the realistic of it. Animation did made the thing that can’t be seen become can be seen by the audience. And now the 3D animation has improve and enhance well, Japan has succeed to make a 3D animation look really like real people in life, which the story movie called Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children. Final Fantasy is actually from a game and now has been made to be seen more realistic by the audience. So, video is one of better way of freedom of creating fantasy.

          The fourth way of freedom of creating fantasy is through game. Game could make an impossible thing to be possible and show to the audience. There are many types of games now been designed to the audience, example like adventure, virtual reality, violence, horror and teaching’s games. Some games like Final Fantasy created by Square Enix are one of the best examples of creating fantasy through creative multimedia. Game makes a fantasy to realistic and causes many people are addicted to it. It is because the player of the game could feel the fantasy in the game that they can’t do it in the real life. Games like Grand Theft Auto are one of the realistic games addicted by children, because they can’t do any illegal things in real world but it has made possible in the game. In serious case, some people could even feel that live inside game world will be better than real life. And the game’s graphic now are improve one day by one day, the game are look more realistic than before. In this case, more people will influence by the realistic of the game. So, game is one of the freedom of creating fantasy.

          The last way of freedom of creating fantasy is through photography. There is many way of taking photography, most of the photographer like to create a story for their every picture, but however how the photo looks good, it can’t be a non-realistic photo by just shooting it. And now, because of the improvement of technology, there are many kinds of software that can be create or change a picture. The examples of the computer software are Photoshop. Photoshop can make many things on a photo. By having the ability to editing photo, we could use them to create a realistic photo to become a non-realistic photo. As one of the Photoshop user, I know that we could add many non-realistic things like adding a zip on a human faces, change the color of the eye or even add a Heaven background picture for a picture. By using the Photoshop, we can make the thing can’t be seen to be seen by audience again. So, photography is also a way of freedom of creating fantasy.

          As a conclusion, imagination, drawing, video, game and photography are the way of freedom to creating Fantasy. In my opinion, everyone in this world should have ability to imagine and thinking. But they do not have their way to show their own imagination and thinking. So, those way had stated above are the good and best way to express own imagination and thinking. By, using those method way of creating fantasy, everyone could see our own imagination and story thinking. Freedom to creating fantasy is very fun and enjoyable fo everyone actually.
