Yup so today is the final submission of our production package. And this is the final lap, the final run. So here we are burning the dvd and binding all the work together.
Luckily the deadline for blogs is tonight mid-night so we still can update more if we want to.
So overall it was such an exciting project one where I learnt new things and how to work different software. I also brushed up on the basics I learnt through out the year and I must say that I feel more confident using the video software.
I enjoyed working with my friends in my group and I hope to get them again for the next projects coming up.
I am very happy with our final video piece and I know we put in 110% of effort. Although some people put in more effort than others, it all turned out well and we were all proud to see our work come to life that day during the screening. It was such a wonderful feeling to see the weeks of planning actually turn out great. There were times I thought we would never finish but we did. So I am immensely happy.
Cheers to News6!

Day 29
Today was the final presentation! And boy was i looking forward to it. But happiness is short lived.
Ok so everything was going well until we had to burn it into the tape and for some strange reason it couldn't be burnt into the tape. We think that the settings could have been wrong or something. So thanks to Lionel, god knows what he did but we eventually had a tape to show.
So watching the other groups present was interesting. Some where not as good as i expected but some surpassed my expectations. I guess from this we can understand and take note of the people that we can work with or can't work with so this project could allow us to take note of those whom we just can't work with. I guess i am very lucky to have group members whom i can work with very well. I really really adore my group and i hope we can all work together again.
I can tell that some groups had conflicts along the way, conflicts ranging big and small. To the minor to the major. But luckily for my group we didn't really have any conflicts.
Honestly i feel that our video came in 2nd out of all the video. The unanimous vote for first place would obviously go to Raj's group. Because their spiffy graphics and exaggerated music gives the atmosphere of epic-ness which that wanted. However, i thought their content lagged in the sense that i would have expected better. But the epic-ness of the video makes up for the lack of content. So kudos to them.
The first group to present really gave my a very Blair Witch feel in the beginning. They had awesome footage but it was all sped up and choppy so it made it look confusing and very headache-y.
I also felt that it was abit wrong for those groups who have members previously for ITE, to show their ITE work as we do not learn that in the first year. And if it is screened at the open house then the newbies would have unreal expectations of what the school would teach. Since the extent of our 3d animation is a bouncing ball and a cone leg, while for 2d, its just very basic flash although it is easier to play around and learn flash rather than with Maya. But anyway, thats just my views on it.
So that was the presentation, which i enjoyed immensely.

Day 28
Today we are at bb's house so that he can do the editing and i can do some journal entries. Dion and BB are taking a break and i'm here listening to glorious heavy metal music and doing journal entries. I forgot to update that my flash is finally completed without any cock-ups and its finally in bb's com so the he can include it into the final piece. I have a feeling that we're going over the time limit but its a good video and its gonna be so hilarious!
No fancy animation, no fancy video work, just plain wonderous footage which shows MOI in a totally different way. Comprising of witty scripts and humour, its the next blockbuster film!
I should work for advertising haha

Day 26
Luckily there's no meeting today because i need to do my flash, which was somehow deleted yeserday *glares are sister* anyway, here i go, having to complete it all over again... i dont know where all my patience is coming from but its radiating somewhere in between my nose and my left eye. So yeah i think i better stop journalling and start doing the flash. This time i shall turn off msn, turn off the internet and just concentrate on the flash and only the flash.

You know this really makes me think about how much your computer would affect your work. If your ram is not good enough, it will hang. It your graphics are not good enough, it will hang. So no matter what your computers software is directly proportional to the haste-ness of your work. I don't know if i'm making sense but I'm just so pissed off that everytime i complete my flash or finish like 3/4 of it, it will hang or it doesnt save. Saving is another headache. It takes ten million years to save the file and everytime it tries to save, the stupid "Not Responding" message will come on and nothing will get saved and i have to do the whole EFFING all over again!
Argh, okay back to doing flash again for like the ten millioneth thousaneth time.

Day 24
Today we're doing the voice-over for the videos at Bb's house, Omg it is so fun haha playing around with the mic and doing different kind of voice effects.
It was a productive day and i think by the looks of it, our final project looks pretty dandy! haha
I have also noticed that my entries are becoming shorter and shorter, I think P1 has reduced my tendancy to write long and thoughtful entries. With the amount of work we're all doing i wouldnt be suprised if all my other group members have shorter entries. I think anyone who has long long long entries for every single day are certainly not doing their work...
