Today we were asked to do the pixelation group task in our animation class. Apparently Nelson, Carson would be forming a group with me. Another new member named Jacqueline later joined our group too. Oh and that Lu girl who came a bit later, coming to ask if she could also join our group. I was the one suggesting if we could do our group work like the game, whacker in which some of us would be the ones hiding behind the couch, and showing our heads up in a repeated action before someone else coming to whack us. Carson said he would like to be the director. His main role was to film the whole movement by using the stop motion apps. The first try was a fail though. Firstly, Lu girl didn't know how to do a gradual change in moving her body, we could all see that from how stiffen she was. Secondly, the part in the beginning where we raised up our head high wasn't good enough to show the audience what exactly we were doing...
So we were waiting for Jacqueline to be back for the second try. The second time when Nelson shoot it with his phone, instead of being one of the hamsters, was successfully made. He cut out some frames so to make them look like a series of stop motion pictures forming altogether.
Btw thanks a lot for Nelson's shout for Yum cha. Carson and I were both appreciated. They called me a big eater as I am one..>.> Anyways boy's talk you know, a debate between those two during the whole one hour at Yum cha. The car talk, the brands' names and all, were all something new to me. I was there sitting quietly watching them to talk about those technical facts of cars, something that I've never heard of, could be sometimes interesting to know too.
Coming back to have my second class - screen editing at C11. Patrick told us about his favourite clip, the only reason he likes is the one take technique they use. He appraised this as one of the most epic techniques in film making. Quoted 'You know how time consuming this will take for filming everything in just one take? What if anyone stuffed up in the middle of process, everyone and everything has to be re-set up. Now everyone is going to hate you' True that lol
So after he did his, it was our turn to do ours. I didn't want to be voluntarily the first one to present, nor waited til the very end. Both were bad enough for any presenters anyways, unless you are so good at public talking or fully ready. So hmmmm I was the fifth person out of 20+ people in our class, because I couldn't wait anymore. I just wanted to finish this ASAP. Yes, ASAP. What I did? I didn't volunteer to be the first, but I volunteered to be the fifth right after that girl. The initial plan for Patrick was for us randomly pick the next person after each presenter finished presenting, but all in a sudden, the urge that has made me raise up my hand and ask him if I could be the next. lol...
I did it nice and solid. My well-prepared and organized presentation with extra info provided for the movie background, detailed explanation in aesthetic values, editing techniques and brief clip description plus humour added to the beginning and the end by describing myself as a hardcore one, related to how disturbing this film could be for some people, I have earned some respect from Patrick. He was totally agreeing with most of the things I said from the sign of nodding, especially when I pointed out all the effects and such.
I couldn't hold my happiness right after class finished and told mum how great I thought my presentation was. So I rang her up on my way back home :3 And she told me she would be cooking duck for me tonight hahaha for a mini-celebration xD
Thanks for her massage for almost an hour. That was like HEAVEN....I felt so good comes with a bit of pain though. I know that is bound to be slightly painful, as she said. It will be even better if she could massage my head even longer hahaa Me so greedy lol
Good English version for the Chinese songs I've heard tonight. And thanks for sharing that Ushi interview with mehhh xD I had a great laugh when watching a few episodes. This was planned perfectly amusing because nobody has ever noticed the interviewer's real identity til the end. It was rather a surprise by seeing her to take off her wig, glasses and all. Nobody has ever thought this hilarious poorly English speaker has been acting dumb but in the meantime, smart for the entertaining purpose. I really really enjoyed watching the interviewee's reaction towards the confusing questions they had, especially to Adele who has been trying so damn hard to hold her laughter, and later with this awkwardly want-to-end-it-asap face lmaooo....Oh geezzzz.... The producer of this TV program is such a genius hahaha
PS: Nelson was totally told off by the police when he drove us back to AIT. He mistakenly turned to a wrong lane....The police soon caught up with the car, and warned him not to do it again>.> Poor guy...not just him, we got freaked out too...=3=
