The End Of The Year

Suffice to say, these 2 months have been very grueling, painful, tormenting, fun, memorable and compelling.

I am glad that we actually had a video to present because some group didn't even have it rendered. *clears throat*. My group mates, Kez and Maj are my good friends and I've began to become closer to Maj then i had since last year at Video Fundamentals.

Iam relieved Natalya did her part.

Iam grateful to Maj because she put in a lot of effort and tried to salvage everything possible when we nearly broke down. Kez has been trying to be patient and she too, has done a considerable amount as we are handicapped.

On a personal level I did not do much work. But it matters not, it has come to a close and we're still going to be good friends. I am moving into the second year and it's been fun and sad to know one year has past. Along the way we have made many friends who i truly appreciate. I would like to thank all my friends. This is sappy but it doesn't matter. I'd like to thank a whole hell lot of people for making freshman year fun.

Dion, Clarissa, Andrea Lek, Boon Bin, Yvonne, Angie, Yuan Ming, Gina and Germaine, Kez, Maj, Jem, Mal, Gary, Raymond, Nafisah, Yi Chuin, Vivien, TY, Jake, Aaron, Candice, Jen, Sarah, Kirin, Rina, Wendy, Rachael and Raj.

I didn't miss out anyone. Confirmed.

Thank you Aaron for making my December holidays enjoyable and memorable.

Thank you Kez and Maj for making cooking at each other's places fun.

Thank you all for helping me with my work one way or another.

Thank you Raj for Photoshop.

Thank you Boon Bin for giving us a lot of tips.

Thank you Andrea for going with me to the special preview of Atonement, in doing so ensured the ticket didn't go to waste.

Thank you Dion and Kez for support during turbulent times, showing me that even though people can be unfeeling and cold, there are a minor few who comfort us with emotional comprehensiveness.

We have submitted our tape, our production package and everything that has to be done.

Day 29

Today, simple.

Came to school to upload the video into a tape.

At first the audio was static.

Fixed it.

Got it done.

Go home and enjoy my day.

Day 28

I think this is day 28. One tends to lose his direction of time, dates and places when one grows too accustomed to the norms of society and work. Cognizance seems like a myth.

Doesn't matter. On saturday we met very early to edit the video so we can call it. Due to some complications we ended up at Maj's house where did for me a new blog skin for my private blog. We also decided on our credit roll and the style of it.

Because on saturday our bad digression caused the work to spill into today. We spent the whole day adding subtitles, reading Harry Potter books, eating, talking, listening to music, using Photoshop and more editing.

We ended at 12 in the morning and Kez's lovely aunt gave me a lift home. We were glad we ended at that time on that day because if not we would be behind time and it may totally cause us a fail. We also wanted to get over and done with.

Amen.

Another Extra, Read All About It

Today we just came back to school to see Wahidah although we were supposed to relax. I think the only reason why we can relax because we do not have animation shenanigans to complete. So we showed her the scenes which we re-shot.

She was satisfied. Good. Even if she wasn't, not enough time to re shoot. So hope it was good because it was really good.

Notes On A Scandal is nice because we watched it after Wahidah left the classroom.

We have left the editing which will obviously have a lot of impromptu add-ins.

The Gala Premier

We had to do a peer review and to be honest, i would like to retract my view on some people. Won't disclose.

Gathered today at the LT 25 of Temasek Design School the freshmen of Moving Images are going to showcase their works which will be then considered for the MOI Awards. The groups arrived late but it will not affect their eligibility.

There were many powerful performances and many moving pictures and all in all, it was a day of glitz, glamor, laughter and joy.

This is my personal opinion. Don't sue me.

After the presentation we were told we needed a rationale and title for the video which kez volunteered. It is coming to a close and tomorrow the tapes and paper work must be submitted. We had a fun time at Kez's place making pizza and watching a movie.

Day 27

At 4 in the morning one tends to lose all his sense of satirical humor. But it matters not.

Today the weather, my fluffy pillows and soft blanket told me to stay in bed but my iron will forcibly dragged me out of the seduction. Today we had to shoot the closing scene. The scene which will transit to the credits. Gary wasn't in school so we got Andreas to do it for us. Such a sweet fellow. Maybe because he was impatient and needed to break from the monotony of video editing. The lines were very impromptu because I never thought about a proper script nor did i churn one out. So we quickly threw each other lines pertaining to propaganda and MOI. It went well and it was really very very commercial like. Tackled a few problems of over exposure and stuff but Andreas did a good job.

At 4 in the morning one tends to lose the ability to resist the calling of springy mattresses and the warm embrace of the midnight cloak.
