BAD BAD NEWS.
We lost the top part of the tripod..
Great way to end the module..
Sarah is now in school looking for the tripod and i tried to contact friends online to see if there got see anything lying around the school.
i also asked the rest of the group mates and what GOOD group mates i have.
i sms yuan then she replied say she dun know and maybe asked shermin 's group.
and she also tried to think of diff locations whereby there is a possiblity that the tripod thingy might be in there.
then i on msn talk to shawn and clint.
shawn no reply... k NVM.
since he is like non existance throughout the project.
then clint replied in a joking manner.. NVM. then he added AS IF I LOST IT.
WTF! AS IF HE GOT FILM IN THAT VIDEO.
its not that i want to say bad things about him lo.
its supposed to be a GROUP WORK.
and u think if Jing Yuan and I din work so hard for this video.
just by shao hui and u you think u all can finish the whole video?
Not that i want to say as if me and yuan like so Pro or wahtever.
But we work hard for this video lo.
U think u do the audio part very Pro? in a VIDEO u cant survive with only AUDIO pls.
Sorry if words are very harsh.
But this is really what i want to say.
the grades u are getting now is not by ur OWN EFFORT.
so pls dun be too proud of it.

Screening Day!
GOOD JOB TO ALL(:
Thanks to those who commented on their blog about our video!
Really appreciate those kind words (:
haha!
its the last day of Project One.
Gald that we finally completed it!
Okay i shall first say what happen today.
Jing yuan and i went to school early to complete all the final touches and the last bit of animation.
after ensuring that everything was done, we rendered our video!
then at 12, we were about to proceed to the lt 24 for the movie screening.
But someone told us that we can't present using the harddisk as the video will get laggy.
The Worst Thing Is.... WE HAVEN TRANSFER IT TO THE TAPE!!!
MY GOD!!!!
We rushed like hell up to the 3D animation lab and tried to borrow a video cam..
But every group up there will queuing up for their turn to use the only two there is in the room.
Sarah had forgotten to bring the video cam we had borrowed..
but its ok Sarah.
So we waited and as sholleh group is still rendering their video, they decide to let us use their video cam first.
THANKS SHOLLEH AND GROUP!!
so we started to transfer..but alot problems crop up and we had to transfer for like 4 times?!?
first time : the computer does not have enough space..
second time: Camera no battery..
Third time: Yuan tripped over the wire for the charger and the power supply cut off.
Fourth time: Finally DONE.
We rushed down to the lt24 without checking the tape thus not realising the small mistake in the video. Sorry group mates... i forget to put in the black video T.T
Our group was the second last to submit so we are the second to present.
The first video to show their work is sholleh's group.
And after which is our group.
I think that we did ourselves proud as we can hear alot of laughter while we play our video.
jen said that alfie was laughing SUPER loudly! HAHA!
This is how we want people to feel when they watch our video.
And while watching, even our group members were laughing our head off when we thought that we were already tired of video.
Even though unlike alvin's group, our lightings are not of the best..
Unlike Raj's group, our effect are not the best..
Unlike Tri's we dun have the best animation..
But i have to say that our video is the most entertaining one!!!
But honestly.. im VERY VERY VERY impressed by Raj's works as i guess that everyone will say so too!
their video are very of standard and even Ronald seems very satisfied with their work.
Shu xian's group: Even though their group's work are not the best out of the best, i know that they really put in alot of effort as u can see for their intro part, they stand outside general office there for like ONE HOURS PLUS!! just to hold that board to create the effect they wanted. imagine that you standing there and people walking past you will stare at you all like you some crazy people *even though i agree that designers are sort of crazy..*
joel and vivian: kind of shock by both of your acting! but still great as i get to see another side of ur! :)
Boon bin group: interesting idea and that hand action of the Doc MOI -_-
germ's group: HAHA! i like the my eye part! and chasing butterfly's too!
But not forgetting other groups though! All did a great job!
I feel very happy that we have created this piece of work as even though there are unhappiness in our group due to various reasons, i think that the final product is still good. I honestly think that me and Jing Yuan can click very well as the way we see things are very similar and we have the same sense of stupid humor! HAHA! Really had alot of fun work working with you, singing stupid songs, kana scolded by you and alot other more stuffs we did together. Not forgetting other group mates too (: Thanks for working hard for the past 2 months for this project !
And i guessed we had learnt alot in this process. For me, i learnt more about video editing as peng had teach me how to use the 'Wipe' effect, twirl effect and stuffs.And aslo that in doing video, there should be alot communication going as one person cat possibly do the video all by him or herself. So everyone should really talk to each other to hear suggestion so as to improve the whole video. And also that in the process of filming a video, planning is very IMPORTANT. We should really settle on the camera angle and the duration u want for every scene to be shown instead of just deciding on the things u wanna film, places u wanna filming. Also, always had a back up copy for your works as sometimes, ur file get corrupted and thats it. You will have to start for scratch. Lastly, ALWAYS CHECK UR FINAL WORK. Im still kinda upset over that 'Detective' and 'Spy' part in our video...Even thought it is kinda redundant, i still hope that our video would be at least perfect. for us.. But its ok...
Its kinda sad that we all ending or in fact ended our year one life in MOI. It seem so fast and sooner or later, everyone will split into two groups, video and animation. Dont really want that time to come but it still will right? everyone wants to persue their own dreams. So, i shall support all of my close friends who wants to get into animation! JIA YOU!
SAY - BYE - BYE - TO - PROJECT - ONE - YEAH!!!
AH AH AH AH STAYING ALIVE! STAYING ALIVE!

Day ??: LAST SECOND DAY!!
OKAY! I MESSED UP THE DAYS...
But it alright i guess... since i got more then 30 posts (:
ok today we finalise everything.
the editing, audio, colours and animation!
I then did the blooper parts while yuan did the animation.
Something happened to her flash file while she did her animation though...
SHE CAN'T SAVE THE FILE!!!!
OMG! she spend like 3 hours on that?
and the WORST thing is, the origninal file with a few scene that she saved in her thumbdrive is...GONE!!!
omg!!! she cried ....cause she thought it was game over for that piece of work she had done...
even ronald said he don't know what is happening to her file...
BUT HERE COME OUR SAVIOUR!!!
*drum roll*
"PENG!!!"
omg he saved yuan's day!
and Sholleh's one too!
HAHA!
Anyway she ca't finish her work in school as the security guard came scolding us at 11pm....
so we went home and gave her time to find a suitable audio.
We thought that i could render the video at home as i have the premiere file...
But, at 3 am on 19/03, yuan have not gotten the music yet..
i kinda tired but i can still wait for her to send me.
BUT, my connection speed is like 1.0 Mbps?!
how to recieve file?
so we decide to go early in the morning to render our video and transfer it to tape.
May the rendering be fast.
Thank you.

Day ?? : Voice over!
Reached school late...
Sorry :(
Anw reached school and start doing editing once again.
i am cutting the video to suit the audio that clint had found.
And also add in the rest of the audio. Thanks Clint!
:) continued adding subtitles too (:
Then after that we found one empty classroom and start to do voice over!
As told by peng as a good yet fast way to make our story tight.
We decide to use the spy voice to narrate the whole process.
So i was given the job to use my WONDERFUL voice once again...
So after recording,
Sarah did the noise removal of the voice and it came out to be kind of like TRANSFORMER sound.
HAHA!
she did her best and in the end i just sound like some sucidal girl talking!
LOL!
Then after that Jen's group borrowed our external hard disk to transfer files so we had to stop work.
and the transferring took VERY VERY LONG!!
but nvm..
We are almost done anyway.
HAHA!
so waited for the hard disk and decide to go home and do the rest of the work!
can wait for hoildays! if there is one...

Day Fifteen: presentation!
today is the PRESENTATION day!
so went sch in the morning as we thought its supposed to be a CLASS presentation.
but its NOT!!
So we edit our work while waiting for our turn.
Then we heard from sholleh that group that the computer in the room do not have premiere.
So we render out our video to quicktime.
But after that yuan need to go off to lesson and clinton go off to do something.
So left me and shawn and sarah.
so actually we were the second group to go present to Ronald.
But we allowed other group to go first as we wanted to wait for yuan till she ended class.
*time passes..*
ok the third group had ended there presentation.
so we called yuan and took our laptop and harddisk to meet ronald.
but ronald told us to go to his office to present.
So we went up.
then there's something work with mama's laptop as we can't open our premiere or quicktime file.
So ronald gave as 10mins to settle this problem as he need to go off to meet someone important..
So we rush down, grab jen's lappy!
then rush up to find ronald once again..
We showed him our quicktime version and he gave us some comments.
Firstly the colour of our video are real BAD...
sorry to my group member bout that because my eyes are not sensitive enough to get a more perfect colour correction...
Secondly, we should speed up some parts of our video.
Thirdly, we should take off the parts whereby the audio are very noicy and add music instead.
So Thanks Ronald!
we will alter our video accordingly (:
After that we went to reshoot the 2D part of our video without clint.
I, the spy needs to be as ME and also as the SPY.
So peng told us that while filming, we need to make sure that the spy part does not cross over to the other part so that we can use after effects to cut and put the two video together.
So we think for quite sometime before deciding on whr to shoot and how to too.
then we confirm on how to shoot and started shooting!
so i crawl over the camera and when i tried to stand up,
I KNEELED ONTO ALFIE'S COAT !!
AND IT TORE!!!
ALFIE IM SO SORRY!
i will fixed it and dry clean for u!
No worries!!
after that we called peng to help us with joining the two parts of the video together use the effect WIPE in after effect.
And while doing that, we must first speed up our video and peng does not know how to do it so we spend quite sometime figuring it out.
after then we did some colour correction and TADA!
Here comes our video!!
THANKS PENG ONCE AGAIN! (:

Day Fourteen: i went to school.
I went to school today due to request..
So yea sarah, clinton and me met up to do the audio part.
For the starting intro music, we found quite a lot of music but all does not seem to match the video well.
so clinton said that he will search for others at home.
Then for the warping in part, Clint found some scratching music that work out well for the video which is great!
Then again for the spy entering tp part, the music we found does not suit the video.
And once again clint said that he will go home to search for it and pass it to me by tomorrow.
Clint likes to work with his own computer, so i gave him a list of music for him to search on and let him off to start work.
i then stayed in school to put in effects for our video and also add in our works as it would not make our whole video seems out of point.
Anyway, change of plans.
Tomorrow (Fri) reshoot the video and 2D part of our video and also do the voice over.
Sat finish last bit of editing and render and do those small animation.
Sun finish al animation and render it out to a video.
Hope that this time round this plan will work.

Day Twelve: Thanks PENG!
Editing still going on!
kind of regret doing drama...
but its alright as at least it something different!
Oh ya!
today we met some technical problems so we went to look for peng.
and he came to help us with it.
BUT! the bad news came...
WE DONE IT WRONGLY!!!!
so in the end, need reshoot again!!
We asked peng to sort of look through our video.
he gave us comments saying that our video is very draggy and what we can do is to cut off those irrelevant parts and then add in a voice over to sort of narate the whole story.
So guess we got quite alot to do once again..

Day Nine: EDITING!
Today we asked Shao hui to bring his laptop to school just in case we cant occupy a computer in school.
But, we realised that his premiere cannot work!!
so we still need to use the school computer...
OK... when we open our project in the school computer, we found out that our audio is GONE!!!
And if we were to cut the audio to fit our already-done-video, it would be damn difficult!!!
so we decide to REDO...
*tears*
(time : 5pm+ )
we went home~~
(:

Day Eight: ITS A DULL RAINY DAY...
We were late today.. and clinton was early so he got pissed.
and when we came, we asked him to go home to transfer to Sarah's newly bought thumb drive so that we could bring it to school and do our editing, he told us that he wont be coming home once he got home.
So, i told him "OK then i go with u and i will be the one bringing the hard disk back to school."
So i went off to take bus with him and while waiting for the bus, shao hui came to accompany me.
Then we went to his house and got the files and he of course stayed at home.
Shao hui and I then took bus back to school but on the way back, it started to rain and yes, we got drenched. wtf.
ok nvm that.
When we got back to school, there were no computers with premier pro left for us an SO... GREAT! we wasted yet another day!
Why cant the lec tell us before hand that the 3D room will be locked up?
there goes another day..
pray that editing will be done within 2 days..

Day Seven: yet another day...
): today is roughly the same as the previous day...
we only managed to shoot the LAST scene we are left with and after that, we cant do editing as we dont have a harddisk and greg did something to wendy's thumbdrive and all the contents were being emptied.
So, we went off early as there were nothing we could do..
Sarah decided to buy a external hard disk for this project and i went to sim lim square with her to get it.

Day Six: Panic!!
We did not do much today as we planned to reshoot the DMfun scene and also Jingyuan's last scene.
BUT, when we went to ronald's animation room, there were people having lesson so we decide to go to alan's animation room to do the reshooting and editing.
We decided to first upload our video to see the product before we start to shoot the DMfun scene.
But HALFWAY through, alan came in and told us that we need to get out of the room as they need to lock up the place for the examination thingy...
We were shocked as we were still capturing the video AND we dun have a thumbdrive that is big enough to contain all our files!!
so we called friends to ask whether they have an external harddisk or a bigger thumbdrive.
But no one got any such disk or drives so we had no choice but to stop work for two days...
We left the room and was about to go home...
and then we saw wendy and her group!
so we asked them and YEA! wendy has a got a hard disk.
so we went in the room to transfer our stuffs!
after transferring, clinton took it home and transfer it to his computer.
Whereas jing yuan and shao hui went off.
And it is the end a unproductive day..

Day Five: No mood.. ):
Okay.
today we were to meet early to finish the last bit of filming for jing yuan and shao hui.
BUT tt shao hui was damn late.
reached around 130 pm? and the previous night he still told me that he need to go off at 2pm...
WTH.
anw when he came, we were quite pissed so we decide to hack care him and went to have lunch.
AN EYE FOR AN EYE. he let us wait. we let him wait.
we were thinking while eating whether we should shoot today or on monday since all of us were quite tired from all the shootings.
But we all agreed that it is better if we finish shooting by the week.
So we pulled ourselves together and went to do filming.
We started reshooting the part whereby shao hui walks up the stairs and me, the spy, follows as the one we did yesterday was very orange due to the lightings in TP at night.
So after shooting that, we change from the main camera view to the spy camera view to shoot the spy following shao hui up the stairs towards the 3D studio.
Then after finishing shooting this scene, it was about 3 plus and as jing yuan need to go off for lesson and shao hui and I need to head off, we decide to call it a day.
Anyway we will be coming back tomorrow to continue filming the rest of the scenes.
But i doubt we will finish filming by tomorrow :/
ANYWAY! today is the LEAP DAY and im going to watch THE LEAP YEARS!
Hope that this Singapore movie wont disappoint me :D

Day Four: filming..
Today's meeting time : 12 pm.
When we met: 12.45pm
HAHA! same thing happen even after we change the meeting time to 12pm!
okay.
As soon as we all met, we agreed to shoot the scene whereby the spy came into tp des school as it seems that the school is quite deserted..
BUT WE WERE WRONG!
while filming, quite a number of people were actually walking about.
but we only took about 3 takes as the people were being blocked by Clinton, Shao hui and Sarah.
After that we proceed to the 3D room to continue the part where we stopped yesterday on DMfun.
So we got jing yuan positioning herself near the mirror inside the room taking clinton walking into the room with me having a conversation with clinton as he sit down.
then after that we showcase some of our own DMfun works and then i commented abit on our works.
While commenting, I accidently said that Sarah's work was QUITE BAD!!!
HAHA! it was because i wanted to say both NOT BAD and QUITE GOOD.
So by adding it together, it is QUITE BAD!
HAH! have another round of laughter from this once again!
After the DMfun scene, we proceed down to the 2nd level to continue filming the 2D and video part of our video.
we encountered some problems as we needed ME to be in 2 scenes as im acting as ME and also the SPY.
So we called jake's group to ask on how are we supposed to do the overlaying of me in the video.
And after knowing on how to do it, we started filming!
While acting as the spy, i need to crawl pass Sarah and Shao hui!! so i lay flat onto the group, and starts to crawl!
even though acting is tiring, i still enjoyed the process as it is fun!
HAHA!~

Day Three: feeling embarrassed!
Okay. we were supposed to meet at 11 again for today..
But once again, we were abit late and we drag on for abit...
But its ok :) since we were ahead of schedule!
so today we started by first filming the part whereby me, the spy, meet Clinton on the design ramp.
So sarah and jing yuan set up the tripod and stuffs near the vending machine at the design entrance and me and clinton waited on the ramp.
Shao hui's job was to make sure that no one pass by us when we are filming.
So we tried out acting the scene without recording first.
and its seems fine.
BUT, when we are doing it seriously, IT DID NOT CAME OUT TO BE THE WAY WE WANTED IT TO BE!!
So we had to take a few takes and it was DAMN FREAKING HOT in the coat that Alfie had lent us!
ENDURE!!!
HAHA! anyway while filming this shot, something hilarious happened.
while i am following Clinton, i misjugde the distance of the cam on my hand and the wall as i am wearing sunglasses..
So, i ran towards the wall, hit on the wall and fell to the ground!
And my group mates laugh almost immediately!!!
the worst thing is... the year 2 seniors were sitting at the bench where we were filming and they saw the whole incident!
So everyone was practically laughing out loud!
including myself! HAHA!
:/ nevermind me....
ok then after finishing this shot, we proceed to film Clinton going into the 3D animation room.
and on his way there, we need someone to prolong the time while the spy went to hide behind the dustbin..
So today we asked.....*drum roll again*
JEREMY!!
And after Clinton went into the lab, i actually wanted to film the part on DMfun..
But some of our group mates did not bring their works they wanted to showcase along with them..
so we skipped some scenes and we proceed on taking the scene whereby the spy camera follow sarah into the lift towards the 2D paintings and video part.
And as we needed people in the lift, we kindly invited our lovely year 2s seniors for help!
They were very cooperative :)
After that, we called it for a day and went off~~
WEE!~~~

Day Two: Starts filming!
HELLO again..
We were supposed to meet at 11am today and start filming!
but we delay till 12pm before starting :/
Then before starting to shoot, jing yuan suggest that we should go check whether our video cam is fully charged.
So we headed to the 3D lab to check it out.
BUT THE WORST THING HAPPEN!!!
WE DUN EVEN HAVE A BATTERY INSIDE THE CAMERA BAG!!!
S**T!
so we went down to level 1 equipment store.
But the person there went for his break till 1.30pm!
so we have to wait for him...
Then at 1.30, we went to find him to tell him that we dont have a battery inside the bag..
but as we had borrowed the cam for like a week, he dont really believe us about it.
BUT even though we had borrowed it for a week, we did not even used it!!
because we had to redo our storyboard!
so we manage to convince him and got our battery!
at about 2+ pm, we started shooting our first scene!
AND, as the whole group needs to be in the video, we need some our people to help us pan the camera!
So at first, we asked zaihan for help..
but he got a class to look after..
so we had no choice but to ask somebody else and we manage to find..*drum roll*
GINA!!
Thanks girl for all the help ya! :D
then after that we thought that the rest of the shooting can be done by ourselves..
BUT, the same thing happened again!!
the five of us have to be in the screen!!
so we went out and happen to meet sholleh and betty!!
so we asked for help once again and TADA! they agreed to do so =D
MOI people are GOOD people!!
haha!
will their help, WE ARE DONE FOR SCENE 1 and LAST SCENE!!!!
YIPEE!!
and as we still got time, we continued to film the spy master scene which is scene 2!
and we manage to finish filming it!
so we done 3 scenes in a day!
Not bad for a start =D

Day One: NEW BLOCK!!
HELLO EVERYONE!! ITS A NEW BLOCK!:)
We need to hand in our storyboard, time line, script and our blog by today!!
BUT, our group have not reshoot our storyboard yet!
So, we met at 8.30am to get it done as we had something on during the weekends and on fri.
I had already planned some of the shots at home so it would be more easy for us to shoot as we have something to refer to =)
And our props and location were all planned and done so whats left is just to shoot!
So, we started about 9 plus in the morning and ended it at around 1-2pm.
But... WE GOT ABOUT 200++ PHOTOS!
..and we did not realise it.
so we went to make a powerpoint slide for it..
and each picture required ALOT of RESIZING!!!
-.- so i spent like an hour for like 20 pictures?
and by 9 pm..i am only at the 3-4 scene!!
so we got no choice but to email Ronald telling that we cant complete it by Mon.
But we will first email him our schedule and pass our script, journal and storyboard to him by Tues.
since we did the storyboard till 9..
WE ONLY ATE MAGGI MEE FOR DINNER!!!
but at least we gotten some food :/
tts all.
HOPE EVERYTHING WILL GO ON SMOOTHLY~~ :)

Day Fifteen: Storyboard presentation.
Okay. presentation...
i guess ours was still alright as we got all stuffs prepared for the presentation=D
And.. OUR IDEA WAS NOT REJECTED!!~~ WEEE~~~~
HAHA!
my group was thinking about all those scenario whereby we cannot continue with this idea that we had been working on for a while now. haha!
But even though it was being accepted, we still need to reshoot our storyboard!!
i think its the same for the rest of the class as ronald said that all our storyboards were too brief and we need to be dependent on our storyboard.
So he gave us till monday to get our 1. storyboard, 2.blog, 3.timeline out for him.
But i dont think that we will have the time to reshoot!!!
I guess tommorrow all of us would be rushing our Design history and culture final assignment!!!
and on Sat sarah would be going overseas...
Hope that we could squeeze out time...
quote from sarah's blog..
"o man...good luck to us"
yea.. GOOD LUCK!

Day Fourteen: Nothing much..
Today we did pretty nothing much as we cannot start filming as we have not presented our storyboard to the lecturers yet and we were afraid that our ideas would not work.
so we spent another day in the mac lab...
Today we were supposed to complete the profile thingy as we dragged this thing for quite sometimes.
And we were supposed to bring our testimonial to have it type into the profile..
But, i was the only one who brought it to school...
Kind of pissed.. but nevermind.. theres still tommorrow..
But clint and shao hui decided to have theirs type out by their own so they started crapping in it.
Our group did not mind that as they showed the lecturers some of their personality too!
whereas jing yuan and sarah decide to do their at home.
and as sarah have not taken her picture yet, she took it using photo booth and jing yuan and i helped her to photoshop it and place it into her profile for her.
After that, jing yuan fell asleep on the desk..
so i continued editing the profiles and upon finishing.. i fell asleep too... :/
After which, shao hui and clint went off and sarah went to her design history and culture lesson.
about an hour later, we woke up and we went off.
*yawn*

Day Thirteen: Photo Booth!!!
The presentation postponed to Thursday! AGAIN!
but nvm.. its good that we finish doing our stuffs early :)
So my group went up to Mac lab to finish what we are supposed to finish.
therefore Sarah continued arranging the pictures for the storyboards..
while i continued doing the profile/ records needed for our video.
i then told my group mates to get their photos taken so that i can get it into their profile.
so while sarah was doing the work,
the rest of us was busy taking photos from the mac photo booth!!
We decided that we could do any pose that we wanted in mind as long as there is a front view and a side view.
And there it goes!~~~
the four of us took ALOT ALOT of pics!
until we were finally tired and we choose two pictures from the piles of pictures =D
so each of us edited our own pics to make the background grey in colour.
then they gave the pics to me and i put it into the profile template and what we left to do is to type our testimonial from secondary school into the profile and we are done with it!!
tts all~
bye :)

Day Eleven: There's Lesson!!?!
MY GOD!
today my group thought that there is not lesson.
so we messaged one another to meet at one pm to do out storyboard.
BUT, THERE IS!
And, the worst thing is, there is a PRESENTATION!
SH*T!
Sarah reached school first and she messaged me informing me.
so jingyuan and I rushed to school.
clinton and shao hui reached school before me and yuan.
When the both of us reached the class, only naf's group was inside it.
so we called clinton and he told us he's in the 3D anim lab.
so we meet him , shao hui and sarah at the lab.
after which we continued taking pictues for our story board.
We came up with an interesting idea for using the OHP to show the part on the spy master =D
so as our spy master is BARNEY,
We placed barney on the OHP and projected it on the screen and we took the picture of it .
This creates some humor for our video!
Then after Des HNC lesson, jing yuan and I went to the studio to redo some of the models as some people broke our specs and video cam.
the previous video cam was done by jing yuan and it looks perfect and cute.
But for this time round, i tried to do it.
And i received a few comments from others...
Jing yuan: why the video cam so long!
Jen : why the lens so big?!
sarah: the screen too big la miss!
LAUGH OUT LOUD!!
All NEGATIVE COMMENTS!
but altered the video cam according to their comments so my video cam looks JUST FINE!
HAHA!
today my group thought that there is not lesson.
so we messaged one another to meet at one pm to do out storyboard.
BUT, THERE IS!
And, the worst thing is, there is a PRESENTATION!
SH*T!
Sarah reached school first and she messaged me informing me.
so jingyuan and I rushed to school.
clinton and shao hui reached school before me and yuan.
When the both of us reached the class, only naf's group was inside it.
so we called clinton and he told us he's in the 3D anim lab.
so we meet him , shao hui and sarah at the lab.
after which we continued taking pictues for our story board.
We came up with an interesting idea for using the OHP to show the part on the spy master =D
so as our spy master is BARNEY,
We placed barney on the OHP and projected it on the screen and we took the picture of it .
This creates some humor for our video!
Then after Des HNC lesson, jing yuan and I went to the studio to redo some of the models as some people broke our specs and video cam.
the previous video cam was done by jing yuan and it looks perfect and cute.
But for this time round, i tried to do it.
And i received a few comments from others...
Jing yuan: why the video cam so long!
Jen : why the lens so big?!
sarah: the screen too big la miss!
LAUGH OUT LOUD!!
All NEGATIVE COMMENTS!
but altered the video cam according to their comments so my video cam looks JUST FINE!
HAHA!
Day Ten: Valentines Day!
Happy Valentines Day to all!!~
Today most people were dressed in their best outfit.
so most people dont have the mood to do work!
My group started the day by going up studio to collect the models we made yesterday.
after that we played with it for a bit before heading into the classroom to place it on the table.
Next we went to the book store to get our brown file which is need in our video at the part whereby we show the audience our profile.
After we bought the file, we went to the mac lab to get our profile done.
its template is lile a criminal report whereby we have our front and side views on the left side on a landscape paper.
and at the right we got other infomations for example name, admin no. , course, D.O.B and etc.
At 3 pm, we stop doing work as jing yuan and I need to rush off.
that for today and once again, Happy V. Day =D~~

Day Nine: What we know about Alan.
Sorry Alan!!
I went into class late today because i accompanied jing yuan to meet amanda.
So by the time we went in, everyone were being split into different groups.
We were being told to write what we know about alan first, then we were to write down what we WANT to know about alan.
We could write any random stupid stuffs we wanted.
Thats why all groups came up with stupid stuffs for example: Do you like Ronald? , Are you gay?
that kind of questions!
haha! luckily Alan does not really mind all this and answered each question respectively =D
Near the end of the activity, Julian came in to join us in the fun!
After which he and alan when to have their 'important meeting'!
HAHA!
Actually what alan wants to tell the whole class was that what the lecturers want to see in our video is things which allow them to know more about us as an individual. Instead of all those stuffs related to the modules we took.
After alan went off, my group went to level 5 studio to do our clay models for representing 3D art fun in our video.
We did stuffs related to spy. for example a video cam, specs, hat.
We did play around with the clay though... as we really missed the times having 3D.
so jingyuan did a crabstick sushi while i did zaihan! HAHA!
fun day overall~
bye to all~

Day Eight: Storyboarding!
HELLO to supporters of my blog!(:
My group started doing storyboarding today!
we went to take photographs insyead of drawing as it is far more easier (:
our roles for today : shao hui, clin, jing yuan - actors
sarah - photographer
ME - the SPY.
LOL! posing those poses is damn embarassing!
i look like an idiot with weird poses!
but nvm at least i got a good laugh =D
after shooting the in classroom discussion scene, we went to design entrance to take photos of the spy "popping" into the campus.
after that we realise we dont have props to continue shooting for the other parts of the storyboard.
so we have to wait till we got hold of props that we need than we can continue on doing storyboarding.

Day Seven: First day back!
Welcome back all fellow course mates! (:
Today my group pretty much finalise our idea for the whole video.
At the startof the video, we will first shoot us in our dicussion for the story about spy. (shows storytelling)
then it warps into the story which will show the different things we did in MOI.
in sequence : DMfun-premiere, AfterEffect
Videofun-outdoor filming (boom mics tripod and stuffs)
2Dfun-showcase all paintings being displayed now around the campus
3Dfun-create our own clay sculpture use for modeling
back to DM-photoshop,illustrator
Animfun- flash, maya
After that would be credits which we would have an animation for it.
The ending would be the video warping back to us ending our dicussion and then we walk out of the room.
OK. thats what our video is about (:
we also came up with a schedule for the week.
*from sarah's blog*
13th - Tues - start storyboarding
14th - Wed - get all physical props
15th - Thurs - book time slots, come up with production timeline, scheduling
16th - Fri - Finalize script, come up with exact script
thats all for the day~
blog again tmr hopefully.

Day Six : Presentation One!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL!!
and sorry for the late update :/
for Day Six, my grp met up early to do some final touch up on our idea which is on the 'criminal' template.
Sarah did a simple powerpoint presentation on our project even though Alfie said it is not necessary.
But luckily we got this powerpoint as other groups all got theirs done too.
GOOD JOB TO SARAH :)
then at 12 30pm, we went to class and the presentation started.
We were the last group to present and the group before got ideas like making it a news broadcast, talk show etc.
When we presented our idea, Ronald does not seem to be concentrating on what we are saying so im afraid that he does not get our idea.
But well, we still got time to improve on the idea.
Basically, our whole template of the video will be on criminal.
the introduction of our group member would be like in the form of the criminal record.
then for the middle, it would be like the whole group doing some brainstorming for a crime story.
Then while showing us doing brainstorming, the whole video goes into the story we were doing just like when people go into their dreams.
Then for the ending part whereby the credits are being shown, we will do an animation which will look something like the pink panther or monster inc kind of ending.
This is the rough idea on what we will be doing.
Enough of the idea part, i want to comment that one person in my group who really pissed me off.
That person just does not want to cooperate with the rest of the group and i have already tried my best to bond the group together and obviously it doesnt work out the way i wanted.
So after some consultation, i had decided not to care too much about that person and continue to make this project a successful one with the rest of my group mates.
Thats all i want to say.
Happy CNY once again to all!

Day Five: Alfie's Day.
Today Roanld did not come into class and neither do alan.
So alfie came over to our class and talk to us about the project.
He said that we should not be so concerned about what alan had said on the 'showing all subjects' thingy as the important thing here in our video is that we should attract the secondary graduates to come to study in our course.
And he also told us some other pointers to take note of.
Then he said that we could consult him as VISITORs in his class.
So we went over to his class after having a brief dicussion in our group.
He told us that our idea was alright but we are confused over our theme and the style.
He explained to us clearly about it and then jing yuan thought of a way to improved our project which is adding in the brain-storming-as-a-group-and-then-going-into-the-idea idea.
Alfie said that this idea would be even better then our previous one as it shows people that brainstorming is essential in the design school.
So we took this idea down.
After consultation, we were dismissed.
Tomorrow is Presentation one...
alfie said that there no need to do powerpoint slides but we still started on doing one just in case =S

Day Four: Alan's day
Hello!!!
Ronald is gone and Alan took over today!
At the start of the lesson, we went to join Wahida's class to watch Capturing the Friedmans and another movie *i forgot wat its called*
The Friedmans movie consist of flashbacks, interview and photographs which make the whole story seems more interesting.
People would also get to know more about the background of the suspected rapist and the real rapist and thus guess the crime for themselves.
After watching, we went back to class room with alan.
We then started dicussion and alan went round to hear about our project.
He told us that our 'theme' FUN is not exactly a theme and gave us a few random examples to explain to us what we really should think about while doing this project.
And also that the introduction of our original video is irrelevant as our audience is the MOI freshies instead of the Des freshies.
So we decide to brain storm again and this time, we came up with a theme CRIME whereby all the intro, body and end will have something to do with crime.
For example video will be taken in the point of view of a spy, our self intro would be in the form of jail bird.
Storyboards are not done yet so its hard to describe the visuals.
so i'll talk about it next time.
night~
OOPS. i mean MORNING!

Day Three: combined lecture
Hello!
Today we had a combined lecture with the other two classes at LT25.
At the start of the lecture, Alfie first show us some video to tell us about the different way to execute our video.
In one of the video about the Mount everest, it shows a documentry which is taken using a hand held camcorder or something as the video is shaky and the lightings and arrangement in this video were not well planned.
This is an example of a bad video and we were told not to produce such a low quality work, but the idea of the hand held camcorder is still alright though.
Then he showed another video called: Gangs of New york.
In this movie, all the places, town or city were all fake.
It was all specially built for this movie.
Thus Alfie emphasized the importance of the backdrop which would affect how the video look.
Next on the list is Ronald.
He showed us some introduction and ending of a few movie such as Hostage, Monster inc. and Shoot 'Em up.
I think that the introduction of Hostage is very well done as it is all 3D animation and how the camera moves is very smooth and the way the names are being placed on the screen are very creative.
And the part we see from Shoot 'Em up leaves a great impression on me as the carrot hand is too cool!!! Then the ending part also matches with the whole theme of the movie.
Last on the list is Wahida.
She showed as a more serious type of video which is an interview about wars.
Honestly when i see this type of video, i will not be attracted to it as i feel that it is boring.
But the idea about the lesson learned that is showed in different chapters is quite good actually as it makes things become very clear.
All these videos gives me more idea on how can i film my video.
oki tts all ~

Day Two : discussion
Today was kind of shocking as at the start of lesson as ronald, told us to present our idea on how are we going to produce our final work.
BUT, MY GROUP HAVE NOT COME UP WITH ANYTHING YET?!? omg!! O.O
We began to do some quick thinking...
"What is the thing that attracts people to come into Design?"
and within a few minutes, we got to a conclusion: FUN.
but we got only a very brief idea to present and thus, our idea was of course sort of 'rejected' as there is not much of a story line.
so we went back to REAL discussion.
so we came up with a idea of using animated characters in our video.
For the introduction, we will show the 5 different schools in TP (Des, Biz etc...) by using animated characters for the four other schools and human form for Design school.
Then maybe some mouse arrow appears and click off all the other schools leaving Design.
Then from here, we will go into the different courses in Des (Vsc, Imd etc)
They would be shown on a curtain or screen in the video and all courses except for Moi would be still to show pple that the main focus is MOI.
For the body, we will use the various modules we attended and show the FUN we got from it but also not forgetting the kowledge we gotten from it.
But, we are still not that sure on how we are going to achieve that but we are still currently brainstorming.
For the ending, we will come back to animated characters becoming still again.
Then we will add like a slogan 'Make things come alive. Join MOI!'
What i have said are just a rough idea on our final project....
its still not confirm yet!

Day One: Briefing!
Hello! to whoever will be visiting this blog :)
Its abit weird to blog about school works.
But nevermind :/
Okay! today we had our briefing on what to do for the Moi final project.
We are suppose to create a video on what have we had learnt during the first year of school in TP and on what exactly we do in this Moi course.
It would be a group work and my group mates are : Jing Yuan, Sarah, Clinton and Sean.
Hope that it would be comfortable working with this bunch of people =D
Presentation One is just round the corner!
So i guess we need to start real soon.
By the way...i thought someone told me that the note for today's briefing would be given to us?
But...its...MISSING?!?
