I lost my handphone and I managed to scribe the event on my public blog and thus I shall give it some publicity. www.theyranoutofnames.blogspot.com
My parents gave me a new touch screen phone which is impossible to use.
Today we shot our ending sequence. We were going to do it Oscar-thank-you-speech style. Yupp. Stand in front of the camera and thank everyone who has helped in our group production. Including groupmates which are inconvenient truths. I did not say accidental, its just tragical.
We wanted to film in the auditoriums, don't know if i spelt that right, iam using a computer without spell check.
Anyway, the audis were locked so we made did with a stair well. I thought they were going to dress up so I did and in the end they looked like they were clad in market gear. Doesn't matter. Our natalya was late again, but I don't blame her, Never did because there was nothing in the first place. =D
Sudden meeting in the LT, we had a subway feast and I concluded that iam officially bored of subway. Nearly 1 year of working in that place tossing salads and making sandwiches for cranky people and ingesting the food everyday has made me sick.
We let Natalya touch our Oscar. She made it oily. =/ *very scared*

Day 23
When we say meet at 10am, we usually give ourselves 1hour buffer time and end up coming to school at 11 or 1130. OK, so today we had to shoot somemore sequences. I managed to survive a trip to school carrying heavy bottles of acrylic and a heavy bag.
When we reached we set up our set, Kez had to draw the samples that we were going to show in our video. She can draw damn well, she used my pencils to draw so I hope she blessed them with her might hence bestowing upon me the talent to draw too. But thats just besides the point. Our natalya came late but we don't really bother because we were just wasting her time.
We took 3 takes and then decided to go for lunch at IT school. Air-con canteen. All the stores were closed and natalya kept asking stupid redundant questions, made very irritating comments and even played a time keeper which was quite astounding. So we had to eat chinese noodles which was very scrumptous.
So Maj had class and we decided to end the day. Loove. =)

Day 22
OK, this is really bad but here goes.
Our initial plan for today was to shoot the 2D sequence for our video. However, most of us got up late and, I know we suck for that , Joel and I wanted to see how the video was going to be pasted together. We went to the 2D lab where our files were but the computers were all taken. There was a presentation in the 3D lab so that was out of bounds so we went up to the 6th floor where we had our photography module.The lab was hot and stuffy but there were computers available. All too soon, a class was going to start. Actually, that classroom was meant to be for my mmfund class but we changed class again due to something unknown. So now, Joel is in that lab, Kez is around school doing good deeds and I have no idea where the fourth member is.So yeah, I think today was a waste , really. Oops. How horrible.And we can't shoot tonight cause we're all busy and have something on. So yeah.
Thank you Maj. =D

Day 21
Today was a good day. We had fun filming at boat quay probably because i enjoy the scenery there. We decided to film maj's photography sequence there because the picturesque backdrops serves as an apt location for photography. We were hunting for an A2 mounting board which was really rare. We combed the whole of bras basar complex and soon after a gruelling 30 mins we managed to find a forlorn shop in a corner selling the board. Thus, we were late for our meeting with gary.
When we reached the MRT station Gary was already there and he was quite angry with us but never mind. He chose to tag along so too bad. When we reached the location the sky was spastic because there was no clouds in the sky therefore making the frame over exposed. So we maneuvered around the place in the hopes of a cloudy sky but it was till barren. When we found a perfect spot there was this not very pretty model from Mediacock or something getting ready for her shoot.
5 minutes later she left when her Mediacock van came with all the high life equipment and she moved over to a statue of Stamford Raffles where she did a rather dry scene of her walking and all miserable movement. SO while she was away we quickly went to her spot and filmed Maj's scene. It was good and their advanced contraptions did not hinder our confidence. SO today we managed to wrap Maj's scene. =) L0ove.

Day 20
Today we shot our individual scenes. Maj shot her photography scene which had a few problems because the backdrops weren't relevant to the topic.
Gary is a nice camera man.
Wahidah was receptive to the new concept.

Extra Extra Read All About It
We had to continue storyboarding today because we digressed the previous day. I had the honors of acting in another group's production. I had to play a eccentric professor and I found it hard to play the role because I felt quite self conscious. But then it dawned on me that I could base my character on a group mate I know 'quite well'!! Smiles aplenty. It took us 10 takes to wrap shooting because the acting served as a portal for me to vent all the hype locked inside me. So I laughed half way through acting and Clarissa from the other group was guffawing away I was so distracted, but she meant well because I haven't had a good laugh in quite a few centuries. She said I lost weight which was a blatant ardent lie because matter of fact I gained 4 kilos.
Anyway we went to Bedok Resevoir to shoot natalya's sequence which was quite long because she has no talent to draw! So kez was a little exasperated but had to teach her step by step. Even I can make sushi faster than she can draw but that's besides the point. So after she managed to wrap it up the sun was bidding the shallow earth goodbye. Kez isn't very good at throwing rocks into a resevoir. And irritating chinese kids with american accents are ravaging our tranquil gardens. On monday we will shoot the introduction scene for our video.

Day 18
We have decided to remake our whole video because after much consideration we have reached a painful conclusion that our video doesn't make the cut. So Maj has been thinking alot about it and Kez has been PMS-ing and acting really pissed. We decided that sitting down in front of the camera and the camera taking on the role as an interviewer was a little hard because it did not give us the attention we needed. We came to realize it was quite dry too and the hopes of reviving the video was gone. So we had a new concept where we would isolate modules we think is more vital to animation and slot them at the front of the video while those vital to video option would be at the back. We have watched Girl, Interupted and decided that we're going to follow their transition style. Then another 2 modules which cater to both MOI options would be presented at the back of the video.
