01-02 Feb

Figured that I should start posting before my memory fails me like always. Ahaha.

Alright. About yesterday, I didn't manage to attend the meeting with my group because I had this Design History & Culture Class Trip to the Asian Civilisation Museum. Uh huh.. and when I was done, the rest were about to go back, other than Vivien - having class. Well, I guess this is where blogs play their part the most. I managed to grab some information from their blogs. Heard that they finally started on storyboard (sorry TY, couldn't help you with this yesterday =s). And the video starts of with ... Aaron doing something like the mgm lion intro>the video collage of the word MOI>collage zooming into one video of a PC screen>Vivien's idea of the flying camera thing>introduction of group members. They have also decided on the music for the intro and I thought it was nice. =) Just that I'm not so sure what kind of music to match with it next.. Hah. Well, yeah, I guess that's all for yesterday. OH wait.. Forgot that the day before, TY also gave an idea of showing the group members the way Gorillaz showed theirs. but nothing was said after that so...yeah. Hmm.. Short post-yay? Ahaha. I doubt people are actually reading this anyway.. =O"

Was told to get some roller coaster sound effect in which I searched in Youtube - link . Also searched for songs for the after intro parts.. but didn't quite knew what all members wanted. Like, maybe each member has a different thought on the songs to be used. Vivien also mentioned that maybe we could compose our own - but that would be kind of hard because we did not really learn how to actually record/compose. As far as I've known, we've only learnt sound editing.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Today, met Vivien and Aaron in school to do a test drive on Vivien's idea on flying camera. This time, TY wasn't with us because she had things to do. =O Well anyway, before that, they showed me the storyboard. Ahaha. TY, cute drawing. =)) Erm, then, the test on flying camera was.. kind of awkward. Hah. I didn't really know what Vivien wanted cause I didn't watch the Body #19 show (Horror movies are not my kind). but anyway, pointed to them on the TP school map and Aaron got this idea where we could zoom into the Design school on it. AND SO,.. they discussed and Aaron did a short test. Vivien actually wanted it to look that way but at the same time, by not making the viewers feel dizzy. BUT, they felt a little dizzy after rewatching it. Ahaha. They said it might be something like that but smoother. Then, we did a test on the introduction of group members. I didn't knew I was supposed to sit at the bench behind. I thought it'd be the one at the main entrance. Haha. but ah wells, any way would do. Yep. BUT MAYBE it would be better to do it at the main entrance bench unless there would be a cut or something cause TY would be around the ramp. Then, went to the 2D animation lab to listen to the edited song for intro and to see if it matches. Although it's like a rough, a little messy, and short video, yeah, it's okay. =) Hmm.. later, showed Aaron the Paprika intro and he ended up watching the whole movie in school. Hahah. While he was watching, went down to video the 2D art fundamentals paintings just to test and also just incase they take them away because I remember Amanda saying it'll be there about a week, then, we can bring it back home. Also took some pictures of them, but erm, didn't really consider the composition... So,.. yeah. And then,.. also went to try a little of Flash and After Effects BUT.... I seem to have forgotten most of the things we learnt for After Effects.. Flash is..still okay. Ahaha. Oh and Vivien went to look for some songs. Seems that she's quite into epic kind of songs... but with that already edited introduction song of ours, it's a little.. off.. Yep. I dunno. Perhaps one of us will have a better one or find a way to match them =). 
Oh..forgot.. Aaron also typed out the people needed for the video but it's not finalised yet. Wondering if lecturers are willing to help us..as in ACT =).

Hmm..come to think of it, I'm not so sure about how we're supposed to present things on Tuesday. Hope I'll remember to ask some people later/tomorrow.

That's all!
