time goes by so fast. before you know it, it's aredy the end of p1.

Today was the screening of all our p1 videos and I must say, I'm impressed with some the group's works. The one that really left an impression on me was Ezyan's grp. Although the message wasn't as clear as the other groups, it was the funniest of all.

I was quite happy with our video and the reactions of the audience really encouraged me alot. I really thought the quality wasn't very good but since everyone seems to have a good time, I guess what's really important in the end is the content and story.

In the 2 months, it was mixed emotions for all of us. Happy, sad, angry, frustrated, relieved.

Working with my groupmates made me realise that in the working industry, you can never choose the people you want to work with and through thick and thin, we have to learn to adapt to different kinds of people to survive in this industry.

Say goodbye to year1 and yo to year2.

Yes it's me. I'm the one to write the closing for the blog. I'm honored, really.

Anyways, I've gotta say it's been a pretty hard, long battle. Lots of problems were faced, and fortunately were overcome. Things had been lost, things had been learnt, and there are some things we really wouldn't want to forget. A lot of effort and time had been spent on this project and though some of us may think it's a crappy piece of work, at least I'm still pleased, satisfied and proud of it. Though I think I'm going to curl in a corner and hide my face once our video is shown on the big screen...

Well it just shows me how much work we will be doing in the future; this is just a mere taster to what more that is to come in the next two years we'd be facing in MOI. Good luck to us all...

Lastly, I'd like to thank my group members. Seriously THANK YOU! You guys did a great job. Hana especially, good lord, whatever would I do without you? Hahas, as I've said in the earlier post she deserves 70% of all the credit among us as she was the one who did almost all the video editing, and salvaged and pieced together all the work, so yes, thank you Hana~~

Thanks to all the lecturers who helped us and taught us the needed stuff, especially Amanda for guiding us on our P1 project. Thanks to those who gave us moral and back-up support too! Like Kaya, Brian and Bryan, Jovi, etc...

Thanks thanks thanks... That's what this post is about... Thank yous :D

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Even the caps lock can't express what I'm feeling right now.

FRUSTRATION...

Charliieeeee......Just found out from Kester that the problems that I face in "rendering the stupid thing or rather not being able to render it" problem is the same problem Featrice faced. Some of the files are corrupted.

I have to re edit EVERYTHING. ZOMG.

Let's seeee...tomorrow if I come to school at 8.30am, I'll have 14 hours to complete everything and let Kaz and Jocelyn help me add the subtitles and render.

FEELING SCREWED AND FRUSTRATED

La Di Da Di Da.

The finishing line is almost there. Looking forward to Friday's screening but at the same time, not looking forward to it. I felt so inferior today after seeing the other group's special effects. It was really mind boogling. I stunned there for 5 seconds, my jaws wide open and a parrot on my shoulder telling me that I just got owned.

Even though our group doesn't have such fancy smancy effects and such, I think we did a pretty good job overall...minus the shitty quality which Alfie says we don't need to worry about but Amanda sort of says it sort of matters.

Fata fata. The video is 90% done. what's left is, well. We are still stuck at Adobe Encore not really sure how to export it to dvd. Hope can finish everything by tuesday. Good job guys....or girls. yes.

Good news: we're approximately 70 - 80% done, or even more!
Bad news: I'm sick... Eh that isn't really bad news...

But anyways, so glad things are progressing quite smoothly... All that's left is more video editing, adding of the sounds and music, rendering/exporting, and the paperwork. I think that's all? Hope so.

From what I've seen our video looks alright. I'm satisfied with it.

............Nothing else for me to say. I just had a lot of problem tryingto finish the animation because of my sickness that made me want to curl up in a corner and die. Ahh, now that the ordeal is over I can relax a bit, focus on my H&C and help Hana out with the rest of the work. She's done a lot and did a great job on the video editing, so most of the credit should go to her.

Cheers!

Time for me to get my rest and hopefully be up and running in good condition by Monday.

I was late in posting, I forgot to post which was supposed to be posted on 17th march. 17th, on tuesday. we had presentation on Interim 2. I think most of the groups were all doing quite well. everyone was almost done with the videos of their individual groups. it was interesting to look at each other's work in progress and I enjoyed the videos. By now, I can grasp the style and idea most of the groups are doing. like I mentioned before, I am looking forward to the end videos of everybody's videos.

We are trying our best to edit and finish as fast as we can on the editing and animation. we are going to do out voice overs tomorrow and probably on friday, if we cannot finish. I think we are sort of right on time in schedule though we didnt really follow it exactly to our schedule we did previously before the production. maybe a little rush, but we still can cope.

since we are not really done with our animation, amanda was probably worried we might have not enough time. we are going for consultation on friday hopefully.

Today was a horrible day. why? just ask the man by the name of Premiere Pro.

Almost went crazy when some parts of the video didnt work and I had to re edit everything for the third time. It happened at 7pm and I had just 4hours to do the rough cut for tomorrow's interim2. So, whatever you see tomorror is the product of 4hours chionging.

Things we didn't manage to put in are the animation, opening and ending sequence, voice over, subtitles etc.

to kaz...i hope you can finish the animation and give it to me by this fri. Seriously won't have time cause we will all be busy with our final for hnc and vidfun. plus we have to export everything before Jocelyn can do the bee animation etc.
