Yay! Last Day!!

Today, we are supposed to hand in our prepoduction post package by 2.30pm.

Lucky for me, i managed to source out and found all the things that we have done earlier such as the powerpoint slides , timeline and storyboard and many others . Indeed, i felt panicky at that time as our concept was still undecided due to the fact that our modules are now not arranged in chronological order where our previous concept was based on that.

I just head along and went to school and do my mm fund first where i message Yi chuin to bring all the animation that we have done. When she didn't reply as her battery was empty, i wad indeed shocked or rather more worried.

Anyway, we managed to type out our concept which was reliving the experience and thanks to Yi Chuin and Ting Yu, we managed to hand in the post production.

Thank Goodness man!!

Guess what!! It is holiday le. YAY!!

But still have to hand in the blog on Monday. Lol.. But i am really glad that holiday last for a month as i really lack of sleep having to cope both modules and worst still is the fact that my mm fund is at 9 am.

Means i only got like 4-5 hrs sleep a day.
Waiting to sleep whole day!!

Pray i will dream something nice

It is NOW! [ Presentation day~!! ]

Gosh! In the morning, i did on my mm fund where i have to do a web site. It was indeed very stress. Anyway, when i got up to the 3d animation room, i was more stress but emotionless [ means can't see my emotion ] as the video was still rendering and our camera was with Germaine's group instead.

But i bet Yi Chuin would be more stress having to see this happening before her very eyes. Anyway, we could only wait for Germaine's group to render finish before we can put our rendered video into the tape.But i must say, that we really have to thank God that the time was post poned to 1pm instead of 12.30pm. If not we would be late.

The moment of truth, where we actually sat and went to LT 25. We were given the peer assessment paper and i graded them accordingly to what i felt. Anyway, the clips that everyone did was awe- inspiring. I especially like Apple's group which is really very funny, especially the part when had to do the chop and punch the clay. HILIARIUS man!!

I also like Boon Bin's group when Boon Bin had to skipped like a girl and some funny script that Andrea said and of course many more clips which were awesome as well. But not to forget, i believe it was Raj's group that really impressed the lecturers.

To the extent of Mr. Ronald even clapping for them.

I must say that they really did it well and i still like the lamp the most. It is really AWESOME!!

Really think that i have learnt through alot through this whole process that even working with your clicks be it being close to them, we may also encounter problems and even differences in the thinking. Indeed, the experience was tedious but yet we are able to overcome it. I believe everyone did a great job.

So what are you waiting for.
GIVE YOURSELF AROUND OF APPLAUSE~!!


YAY~!! The ending is near.. WOOT!! I mean HOLIDAYS..

Come on Holidays come and grab me..

I am waiting.

The Big Day is COMING soon!

Today, Ting Yu got to match the images of the credits to the song that she had chosen previously. I believe it must be tough on her, having to match the song together with the music.

Anyway, some of the sound effects that i found yesterday were put in good use where Aaron literally used it for the sound when the chi bi puppet hit the 1m painting.

While both Yi Chuin and Aaron tried to make the clip shorter still. It was indeed tough for them i believe and furthermore, the premire pro actually hang and had to be closed. Aaron was indeed having a headache at that point of time as he didn't really saved the recent edited one. Which means he has to edit again.

I was there giving my opinions as to which should be shorter. By five thirty, Ting Yu had to leave for a urgent meeting i think. While i went up to mm fund room to start doing my mm fund if not i wouldn't have the time to complete it.

Both Yi Chuin and Aaron continued with the editing, by the time i came back down to the 3d animation room, both Yi Chuin and I did the credits together, as in who should we credit and all. After editng the clip, Yi Chuin was to edit the clip with the ideation photo and some animation to be inserted on to the clip as she had after effects at home. Cool.. Must be tiring man.

Anyway, i got to sleep le.
Lack of sleep.

Almost completed~

I must say and proud to anounce that we have almost completed our animation. But i really have to admit that i was kind of slow in the animation. We still left the animating of the puppet where she would pull the credit screen down but to make our lives easier, we decided to make the chi bi puppet pulling down the credits instead. And decided to drop the idea of animating the puppet at Yi Chuin's and of several other scenes as well.

Indeed, changes were made to save our time but still being able to portray and convey the same message that we wanted to put across. One thing for sure, which i will remember it for life. When we had to take the photo of the credits frame by frame. Being inspired by one Japanese music mtv, we actually did try it out ourselves.

I had to stand and hold the notepad for like thirty minutes and not mentioning that i have to stand in that position without or rather with only the slightest movement. Ting Yu also helped me to flip the pages whereas Yi Chuin was taking photo of the credits. It was definitely tough and tedious but worth it.

Aaron was editing the video. Cool Huh! He actually managed to cut the film from a 16 minutes show to 11 minutes.

Good Job Brother

Anyway, i was told to find the sound for the flicking of the puppet, where the stone would fall and the puppet hitting the 1m painting and many other more. It was indeed very tough having to find these sound effects as usually if we were to find the one that we liked, it wouldn't be free. While i was searching for the sound effects, Yi Chuin and Ting Yu were actually importing the photos that we took for the credits to be transferred into the computer.. However, the size of the photos were too big that they had to edit and adjust the size of the image in order to be able to edit the photos in flash. Aaron was still editing the video. Same as always, the security guard had to shoo us out so we had no choice but to leave and depart.

Anyway, i am getting kind of tired.
Going to sleep now

Tiring Day Indeed

* Yawn * Eyes weigh a tonne.

Anyway, once we woke up, we went to Aaron's work place and continue to animate. We got distracted abit too, due to the fact that Aaron's work place has alot of computers, the screen hooked our eyes.

Soon after, Ting Yu, then me and Yi Chuin left his work place. I got to go to KFC first and tabao food for my family members then headed down to New Creation church.

The message was about tongues and the holy spirit. It was indeed a powerful message where the tongues can actually heal our body and spirit. In fact, assisting us in our every motion.

Haha.. as you can see this blog is short. I have to continue animating.
See you

Scary~~

Hehex.. Today we got to reshoot the scene where Aaron would hold the storyboard and also the scene where Aaron, Ting Yu and I would be speaking.

Indeed, it was much easier filming it down due to the fact that we had done it before. However, before the fliming even started. We faced difficulties and rather reconsider and discussed of how the angles would look like; not forgetting that we had to bear in mind of the puppet's point of view and for the transition as well. After that, we headed back to the 3d animation room where we took voice over of both Ting Yu and Aaron talking about photography. The voice over turned out to be excellent and funny as well.

We also wanted to film the part where Yi Chuin would be showcasing and talking about animation but it was too late. The mac room were all locked so we had to take this scene the next day. Due to this, we tried releasing our stress by taking photos. I must say that photos can really show or destroy a person's image and may even show a false front. They actually took a photo of me where i really looked like beheaded.

Evidence:










After releasing our stress, we headed down to Aaron's place where we could animate together and give advice to one another.
Now as i speak, we are actually animating. We have already divided among ourselves as to which animation we should do and tomorrow or rather Monday, Aaron will be editing the film. Not forgetting that we still left Drawing Essentials and 3d animation shot.. Hmm let's see how things go..

Not to mention, that when we were out of school, going for dinner; i saw a lady facing face down on the floor. It was really scary and pitiful indeed. Just hope nothing happens to her.

I also manage to see Ting Yu animating the puppet flying and it was cute.
Need to continue with animating.
