NICE.

Okay. I'm really not happy with the punctuality. I can be early, so can you. Period.

But other than that, we had a successful filming session today. We filmed our interview all over again and fixed the problems that were identified yesterday... Retro clothes were present. And we definitely did our best to be funny and enthusiastic. Hehhh.

Okay. So we're totally scrapping the idea of the reverse handwriting credits things. Haahhh. We're going to animate it instead. Good. Never did like the idea of the reverse thing. Lol.

WEEKEND. I LOVE WEEKENDS.

Die!!!

Shucks! Tri showed our interview video to some of our other coursemates yesterday. Turns out that our video came across as weird, and did not portray the message appropriately.

Also showed it to Wahidah. Gotta work on some of the stuff...:

• Colour combination
• Outfits (retro!)
• Composition
• Attitude/Enthusiasm
  

Ahhh! So we've got to re-shoot... Extend our camera loan as well. Oh wellllll. Re-do it shall be. We've no other options... Tomorrow... Will... Be a better... Day...

Yay!

I really mean yay! Cause we've just filmed the interview part of our video. It's also the most difficult part of our video actually, because we did not have the privilege of help from other people. Man. But it's alright, actually. Because we figured that we could cut the actual video into parts and take out the unnecessary parts.

We actually made a big boo-boo when we did the credits for our video. We overwrote the scene of the Design school. But that's okay. We re-did that part. So what is left for us to do?

Video:

• Editing

Animation:

• Animation showreel start

Showreel:

• Compiling our work into a video

OOOright.

We got out of class today for filming. Weather wasn't so fantastic so we ended up doing more video editing.

Submitted the printout of this journal. Hmmm. Will film the actual thing tomorrow. Yay!

Sleep.

More filming!

As the title suggests, Snap did more filming today. We did the filming for the credits. We're like left with just the interview thing. Bahhh.

We've returned our camera and tripod already. Will rent out another one next week so we can transfer the recorded stuff onto the school computer for editing. Yay!

After we're done with all this, it's SHOWREEL time.

Happy Birthday to Mal! :D on 24th of Feb!

Presentation 2...

Yeah! Presentation 2. I think Snap did a pretty good job. Critique from others taken note of. Will work on the boo-boos and show it to other people outside of our class including lecturers. :D Good job so far guys! Weee!

Fun at Design Ramp

Hehe. Did something kinda unethical today. But we had no choice! We wanted to do some filming in Design school. But we had no trolley to film! So I ended up pushing Lionel around on a roller chair. Hurhur. But isn't something wrong here? Haha. I'm the lady pushing Lionel around!!! But never mind! That's fine. I'm TOUGH.

We're getting along pretty well, in my opinion. Cause now we're done with our introduction! And it's all goooood. (: But we defnitely have more work to dooo!

Presentation tomorrow. EEK.

Editing already!

Hah. I'm the most forgetful walking piece of flesh. Brought ALL the things we needed today except for the tripod stand. -_-! Thankfully could borrow it from another group. But. We didn't film anything today in the end.

We went to the 2D lab to do our video editing. Hmmm. Got to re-think our audio choices to make it suit the videooo. Alright.

Showreel. Argh. Have to do that in school. Compiled everything already. Just got to get my work from Video Fundamentals. Julian needs to know the class I was in for Video Fundamentals. BUT HOW THE HELL CAN I REMEMBER? Urgh. Right. WHO IN MY VIDEO FUND CLASS HAS THE TIMETABLE?

First day filming

Turns out I was supposed to do the Script up. Shit. I didn't do it. Urgh. So sorry to Snap. ):

Anyway, Have compiled what I'm going to put in for my showreel over the weekend. Now it's just that I have no idea how I'm supposed to install premiere. Uhhh, help?

Went to Youth Park today for filming. It was crazy hot out there. >.< I hope the take was good today. Cause I think I'll roast if we go there again!

Anyway, I got asked by group members to approach some of the skaters there today for a favour. We got some footage of the skaters doing simple skateboarding tricks. Hahah. We filmmakers have to have thick skin, I figured, to approach people to ask for things. Hmmm. But! One of the skaters(not local) was really nice and let us film him! His name is James. So we'll credit him of course.

Lionel's girlfriend is sooo sweet! She came down to help us film! Is that sweeet or what? Thanks Juliana! Sweetest ever. :D

Overall productive day. Though will have to submit script tomorrow due to my booboo.

Have yet to0 retrieve clapper from my cousin. He's gonna deliver it at what, 12am? Bahh. The lengths I go for film.

TOMORROW IS DAY 2 OF FILMING. YAY.

MMMkay.

Last day of the week! Okay. Hm. Went to school and mainly went over the mistakes we made in our scripty thingy.

Tri's gonna re-do it~ (:

Wrote letter to Wahidah concerning our whereabouts for next week. Got approved. YAY! Weekend...

ANIMATE ANIMATE.

Yeah, okay, so we animated. Errr. I don't feel that there's much to say about it except that we have a lot more to do and we can do it together! As a TEAM. Yeh. WOO.

...

What the hell! No cameras for loan! That sucks a LOT. Whatever. Urgh.

Anyway, went to class. Discussed how to make filming not confusing yaddah yaddaaahh. -_-

Label tapes blah blah blah.

Just a bad day for project 1 okay? 'Nuff said.

Animate tomorrow. Bye.

RECCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEE.

Went out of class today to do our recce-ing of location~ Reached there at about 12.30 and met with Lionel. Tri could not come because she was at Changi Hospital attending to some family matters. (don't worry about it Tri!)

I accidentally led Lionel to the wrong place. We were supposed to go to the skate park which is beside Cineleisure, but I ended up thinking it was somewhere near Takashimaya. Then led Lionel all the way there for naught! SOOOO sorry! ):

But, yah, met with Rachael at the skate park after walking around under the mercilessly hot sun! Recced the location and took note of potential spots to shoot at. (:

Got to work on the storyboard again cause we have the do the two column thingy over again. Man. But anyway, looks like we've got a bit more time for production!!! Yaaay! Thankies to the lecturers for being merciful.

Butttt, how come the year one batch of MOI students from last year only had to organize the Open House for their Year One project? Why so different? It's kinda... Weird and maybe a bit unfair?

BACK FROM THE DEAD

I seemingly disappeared over the weekend RIGHT? Well, I didn't. So here's the hottest stuff right now in Snap. ( CNY was good by the way.)

So now we have more or less confirmed our storyboard which Tri will be updating.

I've just typed out our letter for filming and sent it to Wahidah. Yay me! Anyway, Wahidah's approved of our group's plan and so YAY! Tomorrow we're going to recce the place.

Happy happy. Came up with a few ideas for the group's song choices. For myself, I want to use the song Public Affair by Jessica Simpson. It's a cheerful song and it has a kind of retro feel to it. The song also suits my personality. I think I'm jyst a typical girl and this song is very GIRLY. Woo! GO ME!

Anyway, Snap is getting along well, for now. But I can foresee that I might break under pressure. Snap had planned too far ahead and did not realize that we were having our interim assessment next Thursday! Which means we have to get 70% of our work done by then! WHICH ALSO MEANS WE HAVE TO QUICKLY ANIMATE, FILM AND COLLATE OUR WORK. THIS IS CRAZY! AHHH!

BUT! With a lot of support from Snap, I guess I will pull through. I'm very committed to my school stuff. I'm not only involved in normal school work. I'm also in the Pre-U Seminar, DOC Main Committee and also a Head GL for FOC. I will have to struggle to juggle(RHYME!) all of these things!

MAL JIA YOU!

Before Chinese New Year... WOO!!!

We had our PRESENTATION ONE today! Woo!

But I was really late for rehearsals! I think I stayed up till too late last night. Shucks. ): Ended up waking up at 10.30 when Rach called to ask where I was. Was cussing under my breath. Then decided on taking a cab to get to school faster. More cussing ensued as I waiting 15 minutes to get a cab.

But thank God that the other maps are independent and already knew what to say for presentation. (: Snap did a good job today!

After presentation, we decided what to do during the long break. Decided to take it easy for this weekend, cause after this, it's CRUNCH time. So this would be our last holiday of enjoyment. Grrr.

Okay so here's a list of what's to be done!

Okay, with that done, I WANNA WISH EVERYONE IN SNAP AND EVERYONE WHO IS READING THIS A HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Hello again...

I actually forgot to blog yesterday yeah. But I did up the the script for everyone yesterday. The script is for tomorrow presentation.

Snap met up in class again today to discuss our slide again. We added in a few more things:

• Correcting grammatical errors
• Roles

I think it was necessary to add in our production roles to the slide so that everyone will know what each member is doing. Anyway, besides doing that, we also split up the script into parts so each person would have a fair amount to say. Everyone in the group should be given a chance to speak for the presentation.

Then we decided to go home to practice our scripts on our own and get it written on cue cards or something like that and come back the next morning to rehearse.

Okay, so that was the end of our discussion. Weren't allowed off at 1.30pm. :L Okaaaay. Fine. Continued to sit down to listen to potential soundtracks for our video. Did that until about 2.20pm and began to start STONING. How productive right?

I mean, we already have everything discussed... No point staying on if all we're going to do is stare blankly into space...

I saw other class people happily walking by...
