Script Approved - Minor Changes
Today was basically a very "slack" day. None of us were in the mood of doing work, especially myself =)
Wahidah was supposed to read our script and discuss it with us when class started. However, sha had some cours to attend to thus she could not read it in the morning. Hence, she read the whole script during class time. This was when we planned out the minor deatils such as how we would handle our shots and keep them organised so that during post-production, minimum time would be wasted.
Wahidah also mentioned something about not to make our films too epic. If a particular thing could be achieved simply, then it's not advisable to spend so much time doing the effects or spending lots of time refining it. However, like Jem, I disagree with this statement. I also feel that freedom should be given to this. I personally feel that perhaps this is why Singapore's film industry isn't popular with the Hollywood industry - it's because of their "aiyah, do it the simpler way can already la" attitude towards film. I may be wrong, and I don't mean to defy Wahidah or any other lecturers here. But this is how I feel towards this issue. If we try something and explore with the technology more and spend a few more hours on it, then I think that simple scene could look really interesting rather than just plain simple. Oh well, let's see how things go.
After Wahidah finished reading the script, we had a discussion with her. She felt that the script was quite long and each of us would be having an air time of at least four to five minutes each, which I definitely agree. We missed out on the timing bit. She also felt that we did not bring out the "epicness" of the movie like the way our opening and ending credits show. I guess she's right on that. We really missed out certain important key aspects of our epic theme. She also pointed out a few other minor adjustments that we had to make.
After that, class was over. We really did not have much to do on as we were in line with our timeline that I had planned. All we have to do is get our script modified, send it to Wahidah for approval, and Bingo, we start shoot the following week. Everything goes according to plan.
Some words for fellow Crewsaders. Guys, no time for slack already. Everyday should and must be a form of accomplishment. We have come so far already. Lets not lose that positive energy that's flowing in our veins.
Wendy: Don't worry, you won't be feeling useless anymore. I'll make sure the amount of work will keep you so occupied till you regret :P Nah just kidding. Don't worry. Busy times will be coming up. Just don't get stressed alright. Crewsaders are positive people! =)
Greg: Bro, I like the determination you have to animate the 2D character that you've entirely designed yourself. Keep it up man. Obstacles and failures will come on the way, but there's always a positive side to a waterfall if you look at it from a different perspective.
Jem: Seriously bro, didn't know you had such good language skills. Awesome work with the script yesterday. You're the man! =) I completely trust you during production time to handle every shot carefully. You do have an eye for camera =) Good going!
Myself: Haiz, don't really know what to say. Take things easy I guess =)
Sorry, did not mean to get so wordy in the last part.
Good night for now.
