Forgive me for not blogging for quite some time, whoever is reading this.
So, one more week to go before the second interim assessment. We have been pretty busy with our shooting. On Monday, I came to school at around 11.30. I saw Wendy and Greg along with a few other people sitting down with Mr. Ronald. Apparently, he was teaching them drawing proper human anatomy. After he was done, I showed himth lamp animation that I had done the night bfore. And he liked it =) Good thing too. Wendy had showed him her almost finished aweomeMushi animation. And according to her, Mr. Ronald liked it. Yay. At least a few stuff off the agenda.
Then, we went over to theP1 classroomand showed Wahidah the footage tht was shot at my house along with the lamp animation that I had done. She said it as clear and concise and pretty much to the point. I felt good. Things were being done pretty well, even thoug wewere off schedule. After consulting her, we decided to take Drawing Essentials shot of Wendy and Jem. Wendy and Greg went to eat wherea Jem and I went over to the amphitheatre to check it out. It was a wonderful place. It was so peaceful and quiet there, both Jem and I agreed that it was a really good place to de-stress. Also, the amphitheatre reminded me of those collosseums in those ancient Roman movies where gladiators fought. We realised that the tripod I had was kind of creaky and moved jerkily when wanting to pan the camera. Thus, we decided to borrow a tripod from the school. Greg and Wendy then brought the tripod over, and it was much much better. Really smooth and made no noise at all when panning. Awesome. Jem went over to set up the shot and did the settings in the camera - the aperture, shutter, white balance, etc - Jem, he's a real pro at this. Hats off to you bro.
After thinking about how the shot should look like and memorizing the scripts, we got down to business. Greg was behind the camera this time and I was holding the microphone. He pulled it off pretty well. After one or two wrong takes, we managed to do it. We were just about getting really tired by now. We packed up from the amphitheatre and went over to the canteen to take a break.
After the break, Greg went over to find a senior who would make his computer fast. Macbook 'pro' eh Greg? :p Haha, no hard feeling bro. Anyway, the rest of the three of us went over to the P1 classroom. While waiting for Greg to appear, Jem took my voice overs for DMFun module. Greg still did not appear, thus Wendy remained in the classroom to take care of our belongings and work on her Mushi whereas Jem and I went over to the 2D animation lab to shoot my DMFun scene. He had this great idea for this module, and I won't let it out because it might spoil the eventual surprise on the actual day =) And for that kind of effect which Jem wanted, we had to go to the 2D animation room to film. There were people there and the ambience noise was pretty loud and we were hesitant to shoot there. However, all the more, this ambience made it look more natural that there were students working on their projects. I had to compete with the background noise and speak even louder. Finally, the scene was done. Pretty good progress for the day.
Greg STILL did not appear, thus we got ready for the next scene. It was already reaching almost 7 pm. We had to re-shoot 2D art fundamentals because in the previous shoot, due to some inconsiderate designers who wouldn't let us shoot, there was a lot of ambient noise. Hence, we re-shot the scene. While waiting for Greg, Jem and I went upstairs on the 5th floor to get Greg's and Wendy's paintings. When we went back to the p1 room, Greg was already there. Good thing. Unfortunately, the battery had run out. I told Jem and Wendy to set up the shot while Greg and I waited till the battery was a little bit charged.
I was quite surprised and pleased with both Wendy and Greg. They had happened to memorize the script while waiting for the camera's battery to be charged. This really sped up the filming process. Once we began shooting, there goes the battery again. We had to wait another 45 minutes before the battery was all geared up for filming. We finished the shoot at around 9.45 pm. Very productive day, and definitely very tiring.
The following day, we had initially decided to do the scroll scene. However, we spent most of the time planning the scene because we all had a different understanding of the scene and were all confused. After a few minor and heated arguements, which were all settled, we came to an agreement. We also had to film individual shots of us for the starting. We started off with Greg. This was when I had a bad accident. I fell off a ledge on my knee and hurt myself quite badly. However, Greg bro was there and being trained in first aid treatment, he helped me and got my wounds cleaned. Thanks Dr. Greg, really appreciate it bro =) Meanwhile , Jem had gone to shoot Wendy's shot. Next was my shot, which I found it to be really fun and finally it was Jem's shot. I won;t describe in detail how the shots looked like, otherwise where's the surprise? =)
We were all tired, thus we decided to take the day off. Today, we had planned to shoot the scroll scene, ie, our opening sequence. We prepared everything, and Jem had come with a new map. It was awesome and looked much better than the previous map. We went opposite school to get lighters and burnt the edges of the scroll to make it look ancient. However, the wet weather screwed up our plans. Thus, we decided to finish off our shots tomorrow.
I'm losing it here. Very tired. More later. Good night.
