today is the last day of P1 le, and the day of the screening of everyone works at LT 24.
had a really great laugh and fun watched all those video, seeing the familar faces.
there's impressive video, great work and editing, humorous and funny parts here and there, nice camera angle, professional video and some was alright.

our video was failed to play due to some problems which i dont really know, i was quite disappointed and stunned when our video did not played.
but it's alright because it doesn't affect our marks (:
seeing other's video make me think that our video is not well done, if a chance is given, i will plan my time management nicely for everything and always finish it by the given timing, and brush up my editing skill and such.

will learn from my mistake and improve the next time.

anyway, the video which make got me impressive was, cheryl's, xian ming's, ming han's, brian's and rowell's groups.

cheryl's video was simple yet great, humorous, and clearly shown everything that the message they want to express.
xian ming's video was had nice animation, funny and really nice to watch.
ming han's video has some emotional in it, carmera angles was nice, and very funny :) nice video yea.
brian's video has really great animation and editing skill, which really make me impressed by it, and i can see their effort, example going to forest to film!
rowell's groups give me a really very professional looks, great scenes, and effort can be seen. but just that the MTV part was alright only.

the only group which are not that well done was haowei's group, as i think they got the wrong thinking of what's director's cut should be. the whole video was quite bored with the long speech and cant see much meaning it. i guess they too focus on "the director".

so that's all of my thought for today.
wanna thanks my groupmember for everything (:
THANK YOU!

-yilin :D


today was the last day of the P1 (: !
meet up with group mate at 11am, at first there was some problems in the flash but we managed to solve it! did the final editing in the flash again before exporting.

i felt that that the animation can be done better due to lack of time:(
and exporting seriously take us a lot of time.
finally, we import to premier pro and do the audio, subtitles, and voice editing.
we also import all the works we had done on the after effect in our videos, edmund forget to do some parts, but it's alright :D i went to do the uncompleted part as fast as possible.

after finished all the editing and cutting, we started to render and export.
but there were many errors even before exporting, wanted to export as quick time but some errors pop up. Third times was success, but when it was half rendering, an error pop up and everything were closed again. after that we failed to export as quick time and so we export as AVI.
no idea why exporting as AVI is able, but unable as quick time :( but it's alright as wahidah said no problem.

finally, we managed to exporting everything in about 45mins and so, and then the whole 3d animation lab black out right after i export.
was quite pissed off as i had not burn into a disc yet, but come to think i was lucky enough that it did not black when i was half way rendering :)
waited for the electricity to come back and we burn it into the disc :)

only managed to hand up at 6pm plus.
really hope wahidah won't deduct our marks!

so this will be last post for this blog, this two months working with your guys, nadiah and edmund was really a memorable times, and there was always good laugh among us :)
everyone are so cooperate and do the best in our part, no quarreling between us, willing to listen to each other ideas, giving in and correct each mistakes :D
although i think that the video is not as nice as what we expected, and some mistakes here and there, but at least we know we had done our very best in everything we do! :)
never regret working with your guys!
thanks for everything.
Will remember the smarties production, yea :)

all the best to tomorrow screening :D

LOVES, yilin.


This thursday will be the submission already. Even though stressed, we are getting closer and closer to witness our final product for these two months.

In fact, we had done most of the work and left the editing. We started adding animation in the video but not done yet. So for wednesday we have to rush our animation so that we can start adding all the sound effects that we have found.

We can do it! All The Best Smarties! It's the last lap!=D

Today we had our consultation with Wahidah and she gave us comments that some parts of our video was too draggy. We have taken her advises into consideration and we will edit the parts which she have suggested to change. Today was a productive day as we had done our voice over and we are in the process of doing our animation for our video. Once the animation is completed by Yilin, we can import it into our video and add in final touches and we are ready to go.


wednesday 18032009

yesterday we had our re shoot of night scene done, this time we brought small lights so that the night scene will be brighter. Alex came to help us using his flash light on his hand phone! It was very bright and did helped us a lot (:
the only bad thing was some guys came along and make a lot of noise, end up their sounds can be heard in our video. we will try to use audacity to do the noise removal!

Edmund's great acting skill really make our video more interesting and funny, and everything go smoothly without much NG (: but still there are some mistake, like unnecessary things can be seen in the video, and so we had to retake some of the scenes.
we managed to finish everything in three hours by cooperating with each other well :D

great job Edmund and nadiah!
thanks Alex for helping us with the lighting and giving us advice.
thanks those guys for helping us to take care of our stuffs
:D


today
we have consultation with wahidah, and she commented our night scene are much more better.
we also learned that everything must be out of frame to inside the frame and to out of frame again.
means that must from out to in and out again, so that when editing, it will be able to flow well.

so later we went back and nadiah import everything to premier pro, while me and Edmund were doing the some part of editing using after effects.
after everything was import, we sat together and edit.
we discussed and each do a part in helping the editing. although some misconception in between, but almost everything were solved.
we finished putting everything in order and edited every correct scenes by 7pm+.

thanks for the hard work!
tmr we will be doing animation:D
hope we able to do as much as possible.

jiayou and continue to work hard smarties!

with loves

Ytd was the day we had our interim 2. Before that, we faced problem like cannot export the proj work into video. In the end, thanks to my friend, Peiwen, we managed to export the video. Thanks Peiwen!=)

The presentation began at 12.30pm. We were the fourth group to present. We were quite depressed at the beginning because we have not really edit our video and our rough cut is not really done yet. When it's our turn, we played the video and received a few comments. Wahidah mentioned the same problems that she told us earlier when we consulted her and one of the problems is the sound. She mentioned that for our video, sound is the main problem because our audio is really too soft.

The next problem is the night scene that we have taken. It is too dark as we did not set up any lights when we were shooting at that time. Also, we did not set up the volume too as that was the first time we used the video camera. Not only Wahidah, some of my classmates gave suggestions on the night scenes and suggest that we set the exposure higher. They also believe that we should re-shoot the night scene.

Thanks Wahidah and fellow classmates for the comments!=)

We will be meeting Wahidah for consultation tomorrow. Later on at 7.15, we will be at Bedok Reservoir to film our night scenes. This time round, I believe we will do a better job as we had experience before that already.

I really hope that we will be able to finish all the work and edit the video well. We still left a few more days and I know it will be tiring. But I hope that we will strive hard for the last few days and produce a good work.

Hang on, Smarties! It's only a few more days!
Good luck to us!=)

Today we went to hereafter and we transferred our video from the vid cam to Nadiah's mac. It took close to an hour for the whole thing to transfer finish. We found out that the sound is quite soft and maybe we need to set the contrast for the video too.

We went to consult Wahidah and her comment about the video is also the same as what we predicted. Monday we will start editing our video and prepare for Interim 2 on tue!

That's it! =)
