HELLO! I'M HERE TO BLOG TO MAKE OUR POSTS 30!!

During the video screening day, I was really anxious. Anxious after we saw the first group's video (Xian Ming, Faizal and Kim Luk). I felt that theirs was... too nice. OWN! Then I thought to myself, "Shit man ours not much effects... will others think it's bad?" (Yeah I'm a paranoid kid)
 
I was also anxious because Yoke Ee's class videos will actually be played first but ONG MING HAN was apparently sleeping and woke up late. Haha.

But when others told me that they think my group video was good, I was really touched and happy. That made me feel relieve that our hardwork paid off!

Well, really want to thank my dear group members, Ming Han and Syuhada! Just want to thank you guys for everything you've contributed during this tough period of MOI P1.

I'm really really glad that I was able to enjoy this experience with you all. I believe many other groups had conflicts during their P1, but I'm glad that we do not face such problems and situations except for some minor clashing ideas? But we always work something out of it. I feel that this is what's most important when working in a group, team spirit!

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. Oh yes and sorry for being paranoid and worrying about this and that. I guess it's probably cause it's MOI P1 and I was being a perfectionist or something. Cause I wanna move on to year 2 and I was scared we would fail! (see, paranoid kid)
 
P.S. Watching the video again, I actually feel that our video is actually nice and interesting! I finally understand that you don't need good and nice effects to produce a good video.

Above all, I especially wanna thank Yoke Ee for revising such a wonderful script for us! Without your help, our video would not have been what it is. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Even though everyone is happy that MOI P1 is over, I actually feel quite... um how do you say, a little sad probably? Okay not exactly SAD SAD, but sad in a sense I will really miss working with you guys! 

Sometimes I feel that it's good to work with other people and not your close friends (I didn't know Ming Han and Syuhada well at first) because that's when we can really voice out our opinions and stuff like that. Seriously. Okay maybe it's just me but when I'm working with my close friends, I won't really dare to voice out or say anything if I disagree or if I have another idea...etc. cause I'm afraid we would have disputes and quarrels since we're all so close and stuff, you get the drift? Haha hence, yes, working with them was really an enjoyable experience (I'm sorry if I repeated this a hell lot of times), but it's a fact! It has brought us closer together and we got to know one another better.

I finally realized that Ming Han is a nice guy (I used to be scared of him, HAHA) but sometimes quite fierce. Haha JK!
and Syuhada isn't all that quiet actually. "Eh tomorrow I will have stomachache. I predict I will have fever." That's what she told us the day before the screening of MOI videos. Haha, she's damn cute. But she came to school in the end. (:

Whoa this is quite a long post, but yea, it's worth it since it marks the end of our journey here in MOI p1.






Ending off, it's me! Cheryl, on behalf of WHYWESAMEGROUP for this REAL FINAL post on this blog.

HUAT AR P1 LIAO LIAO!

Sorry for the Hokkien title but I can't help it but feel happy that P1 is over and most of all, everyone did well!

Dear Cheryl and Syuhada,

Hell of a ride right? From Third age to individual ideas to Interim 1 to Interim 2 we spent a truckload of time in the Maclab using Macs(I hate Mac) to do editing and research. It was good experience, I could feel the rush as the deadline drew nearer.

Very sorry for being late for group meetings 100% of the time. I feel that I didn't really do much, all I did was being the cameraman and the rest is just eye power.

It was fun working with both of you even though sometimes our ideas clashed. I have to thank Syuhada because she brought home the [vulgarity here] heavy tripod for about 4 days straight and she is such a pro at Final Cut pro. I have to thank Cheryl because she got her wonderful couple friends, Aaron and Julia, to act for us and everything turned out well. Am very glad that the screening of our film went smoothly even though I was not present when it played HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Happy Holidays Moving Images!

The Most Outstanding Intern(JK!),
Ming Han, on behalf of WHYWESAMEGROUP for this final post on this blog.

Damn it, 1 more post to 30 posts.
we were really amazed by other groups video. they put in nice effects and animation. Our video is simple and did not have any effects at all except for the transitions. But, we were glad that the video can be played even though its quite uncomfortable that the whole moi watched it, we were really happy with our work being screened.

P1 taught us to plan our time because of the time clashed with another module. Even though we have different personalities, we managed to work well together. We had alot of fun doing the video and enjoyed it very much .

March 26, 2009

I felt a crazy sense of relief when we submitted our DVD on time. It was a feeling you cannot describe, I didn't even try to run so hard for my 2.4KM run in secondary school.

Today we met in school earlier at about 10.30am to finalize our film. We added in some music which we felt it made our film hilarious and we hope our audiences tomorrow will feel the same too.

The stupid DVD almost gave me a heart attack because it won't record our film initially on 3 PC/MAC. Johanson saved our day by lending us his laptop and we managed to burn everything and hand in by 3pm sharp. Thank you very much Johanson :)

P1 is fun, very fun.

FINALLY OVER

So glad its over after all the hard work.The burden on our shoulders were lifted instantly after submitting the DVD.

We came to school in the morning to add in the music (
unsure of what music would suit the video)and did a final check on everything before exporting to Quicktime.But,we forgot to credit the music.

Nearly submit the video late because the DVD (very special got "+") cannot be burn using the Mac,then we went to the 3D Lab to try burn again but cannot.Luckily,Johanson save us by lending his laptop that have the burning sofware.We ran to Yoke Ee's office and managed to catch her in time.

When i watched the video again,some parts look different than the one when we edited- got some overexpose and not so clear parts.But, i think its ok ah since we cannot take back the DVD to re-edit.

Overall,we had a lot of fun shooting and editing the video.The main thing is to have lots and lots of fun in the process.

Today I went back for Design History and Culture presentation. Good thing it ended before 6 and I had more time to work on P1. Derick from year 2 MOI helped us with recording all the voice overs in the audio room, and I want to thank him here for helping us. Today he helped us again with the voice over and Final Cut Pro in the Mac lab. As Chery and I are having Design History and Culture at 3pm, Syuhada was working hard in the Mac lab trying to figure out what music should we use for our video. After Cheryl and I finished DH&C we went to help Syuahda out at the Mac lab. We decided on what music we should use for our video and tomorrow we will be rendering and exporting our video. Hopefully everything turns out well and we can submit on time at 3pm.

finally,completed shooting!we will transfer the footages tmrw because the hereafter was already closed when we finished.we are probably about more than 1/2 -done with the editing.today we did the colour corrector thingy and some effects. the voice over was already put in but it got overwritten during the process so tmrw we will put it back again.
-left with adding the new footages, some music and of course,credits.

editing is actually fun but its quite tiring and can be irritating too.so,we need to focus and do our best to complete everything before the due date.
