i kind of knew that this was going to happen. we didnt make it for our presentation. i think mr ronald and the other lecturers are disappointed and im really sorry but its also because of this that we know whats our mistake, we will learn from it. i guess we just need more discipline and know that time managing is really important. yet i know all of my group members put in alot of effort, although we're abit over ambitious but i think it's a good thing because that pushes us. ill still work on my 3d character and both angie and andrea is still gonna do their short 2d animation. 

i decided to stay over at andreas house tonight with jy, which is not my initial plan actually but i have to, because when i reached her house with the hope that the videos editing is already done and yet not i realized that we have no time to waste. we didnt really sleep. i dont understand why we this is still so last minute when we've planned so much. maybe the editing shldve have taken that long. i dont know. the problem is that, we're all stucked because the editing caused andrea's animation to slow down. and i think she has no time to animate her characters already, which is a pity because she spent alot of time doing it. but we have to help jy with the editing so he can also do this trailer for the short film we did before, if not there wont even be a film to show in the presentation tmr... this is bad news.

i have no idea, but we're still editing which caused us all to slow down because we need the frames to do our animation but in the mean time we still have other things to worry for in the production. andrea's helpin jy with the editing also. and im helping them with the effects and sounds in the show. angies helping andrea with animation. TEAMWORK. haha, we shld have done this so long ago. the pace would've been so much faster. we're running out of time, all the pieces of vids are still not attached together. why does rendering take so much time =..=''

editing has slowed down abit and we're all quite worried. We all know tht it is hard to edit, hopefully jy can finish in time. in the mean time, angie and andreas doing their short animation and i have to do the introduction logo animation and i guess i have no much time for my 3d character because ill just slow down the production, i have to let it go but ill definately finish and animate it. less than two more weeks to go... we have to hurry~~~~

editing is on the way. and today we filmed my cutscene. which went smoothly and quickly. the cutscene is actually about what i did in sch and the cut has to be within 1 min. which we actually pulled it off. now all is left is my 3d character. which im not sure if it will be in the final production.. still pending. haha. hopefully ill have enough time. 

wow, we're so buzy with shooting that ive almost forgotten to blog. we've finally shoot our last few scenes of the talkshow. it was really fun and difficult. ONE OF OUR MAJOR problem is tht we moves the main camera tht is not suppose to move because we had to do the double role effect, fotunately it was jsut a slight tilt. so using aftereffects to solve it shldnt be a problem.hurrayyyy. we've finally done with shooting !!!

Our presentation went through smoothly today. I guess next week, we'll start shooting and get everything going. Our scripts are already set down and with the help of our storyboard. we have taken all the needed precautions and got all the things we need. the only problem is we cant get two cameras. hopefully the other group will spare us one when they don't need it. ALL THE WAY madhouse~~~

MUAHAHAH. we have finally set up the talkshow area and are ready to shoot anytime soon. We did a trail shoot today in the tv studio and found out that alot has to be improved. for example, the camera angles, the content, the music and later on the editing. so thank god we did the trail shoot. and also many thanks to vanni, mr ronald and alfie for helping us in many ways. we're gonna meet up this sat, to finalize the script before shooting next week. after that it'll all be the animation work and visual effects. soo cooool, cant wait to do it. =D

geee. i almost forget that i have to update this blog. SO... we are still trying to finish our script, realizing that it aint that easy to write one. NO, thats not all we did for the week, we actually were a step infront of the others, we already got the permission to use the tv studio and the furnitures provided by vanni which is freaking cool. i think, we shld get the storyboard, script and dates nail down hard on tuesday or wed and then start out the trail shoot. and for the bad news, angie found out tht "madhouse" is already owned by this huge exisiting company. so we might have to change our production name and ideas of animating it. to think about it, we actually done alot but somehow seems not be doing alot also. oh well, wth am i talking about. no worries! all is on the way next week~~~~~

finally cny's overrrrrrrrrrr. okay, not really over, but there goes the public holidays. so today in sch, we're once again gathered tgt to discuss what we're suppose to do this week. and to make things easier,mr ronald gave us the schedule of the week of what we're suppose to finish by the end of this week. basically, as of what i was plan to do before, we need to come up with a script and the storyboard. and todays meeting actually covered who shld be doing what, where can we film the talkshow and the name of our grp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
theMADHOUSEproduction.
we even thought of how the introduction of madhouse logo shld be animated. pretty cool. hahaha. so after we decided on our name, we went to recce. it is then we realized that we have some problem, first of all, we need the furniture then we need a empty space with good lighting. actually getting the furniture's really a big issue because its not easy to get them. argh.. anyway, we separated our task. angie and me will handle the storyboarding and script, while andrea and jy handles the animation of madhouse logo and solve the filming place. but all of us will get to edit the script, just to be fair. so, thats that, by next week, we shld be able to start filming already. cant wait for it! =D

alright, so presentation was quite successful, at least for me it is. cause the main idea was to get a response or rather a feedback because we had two ideas and we really need to decide on one. and we did, thanks to our classmates on voting. so the chosen idea is base on a talkshow. frankly speaking, ive been slacking alot, so from next mon onwards i hope the grp and i can start working on the project. the goal is to have storyboarding,script done by the end of next week. when the script and the boards are out, we're set to go.

AND IT ALL FALLS TO PLACE. we finally decided on what to do. after the stuggle between different ideas.tmrs the presentation and i hope it all turns out well~~~~~~~~~~~

after consulting alfie...
OUR PLANS HAVE CHANGED!!!!!!!!
hopefully, we'll come up with something fast.

Today we had another briefing, stressing on what our objective really are so we won't get out of point. Besides that the lecturers showed us some video examples like what style we can use for the vid. So after that me and the rest of the group had a short discussion. Andrea mentioned on how the video should work and some of the influences that could affect our initial story plot and i actually agreed with her, also because of knowing what alfie hopes to see in our project. The discussion got alittle bit off when went beyond the actual topic and it was pretty confusing. So i hope that we can do this step by step considering that our vid fund pre-production was really a mess and i really hope we can work together without stressing too much, i just want to have fun and produce good work with the rest, it is afterall a video showing the fun and excitement right. so y so serious? =)

SO.. today we didnt do alot. Basically we layed out how the story should go and what approach are we comming from. It went well, everyone was happy with the idea which i think is already one big step to our goal. Now everyone in the group pretty much have the same idea of how it should look like just that... we're alittle too ambitious, at least for me. I want to have this 3d character in my 2mins and at first i really thought that its possible but when i was on my way home, i thought about it, how it should work and all. It is then i realized that its not definately do-able. Like if i have enough time to figure maya out and if i... ok, nevermind. ill give it a shot first, if it doesnt work i can always think of something else to do. We have two blocks afterall right....?

First of, the whole "nam nam" thing wasn't my idea. Alright, so after the briefing today, i pretty much know what we are suppose to do. This is just like video fundamentals but now we have more flexibility to showcase what we have learnt through the year. I am very lucky to be in the same class with the group i worked with for my video funds. last year so it will be easier for us to work together because afterall it is still about the teamwork.

i am nam nam
nam nam is my nam-e
i am a boy

na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na NAM NAM!
