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

Nites
