Well, that's all for today.

 Cheers for today :D

Day 35

As i could not transfer the video through my house computer as well, we met up earlier to do the transferring. However, the computers,firewire and camcorder didn't work at all. We tried like million times but it just refused to read. What's worse was the lecturers were rushing us like hell. Horrible. After a century has passed, we finally got the video into the tape. Rushed down to the LT for presentation. We saw the other groups' video and some of them really did a good job. Well, our video is not that bad too. We did our best for it. I'm proud of our work :DD

Through these two months of working together as a group, i learnt how to communicate better and learnt our very own talent. Well, like what Alfie has said, we need each other to come out with good work. We might not be good in everything, but we just need to be good in one thing. I can really see the meaning of it. Thank you Alfie for all your help and patience. I'll remember what you mention in class or outside class. Cause i think your words are really enlightening to us :) 
I really wanna thank my group members for everything they have done for this project. Thanks for always tolerating me for being not in time. I sincerely apologized for it. Thanks for being here every meeting we had. Thanks for keeping up with the schedule and making sure our work is done. Thanks for the patience you guys have in you. Thanks for all the fun you guys have brought while producing the video. Thanks for everything everything. If not for you guys, it's impossible to get this production made like heavenly :))
I have learnt more than what is taught in class. I appreciate the opportunity and i look forward to working with you all again. Cause you guys are awesomeee :D Love all of youu.


Day 34

Yay, we finally finished our p1. So super duper happy. I'm very satisfied with the work. Well, could be better but we can only do what we could with the amount of time we had left in total. I really wanna thanks my groupmates for contributing so much and putting in so much effort for it. Thank you Gina, Shuxian, Adeline and Kala. All of you are very understanding and patience. Most of all we communicated well and we definitely enjoyed ourselves in the making of this video. Though there's some punctuality issues and i admit my bad, we learnt to tolerate each other and do something to solve the problems. Once again, thank you all of you so so much. Love you all!! :DD

Well, we finally completed the video. We met up at in 3D lab again and started all the editing. All the footages are gathered and being put together using premier. After all the many many many edits, we added the audio. Edited it as well and oh my god, it matches perfectly! Awesome. We then add in transition like fading in and out. Everything looks smooth :)

However, the transferring of video is bothering us again. I suggest the school to either renew the computer or the camcorder. All of them just don't work together. It's com works, camcorder doesn't and vice versa. No choice, i brought home Gina's hard disc and same, i cant burn it into the dvd. The dvd is giving us problem too. No many how many times we load the video in, it's still become an empty disc at last. Now we can only wait for tomorrow and get the working com and camcorder to transfer. Oh yeah, there's also a p1 screening for all of us tomorrow. It's a good interaction with all the MOI students and we can share opinion and suggestions from everyone present :)

Day 33

Although we have a planned schedule, things just don't always go accordingly. Today we need to transfer some footages that are kept in my mac. However, no matter how many times we tried, the hard disc that we're using just refused to accept the files we wanted. So after awhile, we borrowed a hard disc from sarah and yes, it worked. We transfered for like 2 or more hours. And caused a delay in sarah's group work. I sincerely apologize and thank you for lending :DDD
After the transfer, we continued working on the video. We have also finalized the audio and Gina's gonna remove the singing from the songs. Thanks dude. :))

Day 32

Headed to Gina's house to continue working on the video. We did audio selection and edited parts of our video. Due to some techincally problems, we didn't manage to do alot. We did some backups for our works and make sure everything is safely kept. 

Well, as time passes, we got restless as Gina's house is so so comfy. She got like all sort of instruments. Needless say it's the piano and guitar! So we got so engrossed with all the instruments, we decided to end our day of video editing. We then left around evening time and continued doing the works at home :)

Day 31

Today is another day of editing. After having all the photos and after effects in my mac, i started the editing for photos. I tried different kind of effects. To be honest, i don't quite remember all the things taught for after effects. So, when i come across any problems, i will approach my friends for help. As i do, things started flashing back and i kind of remember how each thing was done. Slowly, i managed to get a hand out of it. 

Other than this, Shuxian and i also did a simple credits for the ending. It's just fonts and colors selection. We communicate well and got it done :D

We're all trying our best to finish what we need to do. And not forgetting the blogs, we assigned ourselves with a task. Have to update our blogs! So when the deadline is near, we don't have to panic and ending up having no time to finish up our video. Seeee, we're good in time management. Clap clap* :DDD

Day 30

Continue doing our editing today. 2D lab is still as packed and 3D not open. They should know everyone is rushing their projects now and yet the lab is closed. Oh well, at least we got a computer to do our stuff. Pictures that were taken were edited in Photoshop and passed to me. I'm supposed to gather them all using After Effects but my mac doesn't have the software. Moreover, students aren't allow to download in school so i have to do it at home. We then continued on the editing and do as much as we could.
