第一天实习 (15th of April)

工作感觉很好。办公室的坐位很不错,一望出去就是高楼。同事也很友好,有时还帮了我一点事情,整个工作环境总的来说都很满意。负责人早上的时候还跟我解释了一个多小时我的工作。用着公司的电脑也许有点不太习惯,就跟制作娱乐视频一样,所有东西对我而言都是新鲜的,包括某个他希望我学的调整视频灯光的软件。然后一整个下午就是我自己琢磨着,探索着的时间。看了好多遍那个视频,了解了一下做娱乐视频的规律之类的东西,然后就开始寻找相应的clips了。制作过程很辛苦,而且尝试了很多次不一样的combination看效果怎么样。负责人时不时会过来看看我的进度,然后我又加速地埋头苦干。今天效果不佳,可能是因为昨晚睡眠不足而造成的~要不然整个视频大致就应该要弄完了...

回家后跟麻麻和巴巴汇报了今天第一次上班的情况,也跟男票说了一下今天遇到的棘手事情。比如说拉错了某个clip,然后致使整一个视频的图像与音频不同步了~接着就花了几个小时去修回来...虽然说这种错误editing会时不时发生,但真的不允许下次再发生了...

第一天工作吧,给我的感觉很奇妙。早上真的很辛苦~尤其是背着电脑在火车上站40分钟的那段时间,然后工作的时候我感到很充实,是质量般的充实,我学会了好多东西,也让我深深体会到工作8小时的疲倦感原来是这么强的~还有就是完成了一天工作的完整感~继续用积极上进的态度去做事~期待下周的实习吧!

(14th of April)

-  与Cassie她们商量着script后的storyboard。积极的我舞动着手足地说着我自己的ideas。Cassie则在一边听着,然后适时地发表了下意见。接着,下半节课就是大组的讨论group project。跟另外3个男生混熟了后,大家就欢乐地做着storyboard又愉快地讨论着filming的计划。这节课还蛮活跃的,我的积极也让我渐渐爱上了screen production这个过程

- 晚上与馒头的相聚就是牵着手去大长今。火锅时间2个多小时,我们聊了很多,包括Danni的事情。还有她平时在学校的趣事与麻烦事~去到车站的时候大家还不想走呢,继续聊着她男票的各种奢侈生活什么的。希望妹子真正找到一个可以让她托付终生的男人哈~疼你就好

- 现实生活的烦恼呀,无人知晓~某男子特繁忙,几乎无时间给我倾诉一下~

A new turn (13th of April)

Home, sweet home. Getting to jog in the early morning. For being a record breaker myself, I challenge a lot. This time, 15km til I started to feel my feet sore. But a satisfying look on my face as I completed the mission. Even walking on my way home, I had that I-did-it-again pride in me.

The discussion about that on the table was another petty thing to do. I wouldn't like to bring someone up but she was quite insist to talk more about that person.

Two movies in a day. One in Chinese, one in English. The Chi one 'My sunshine' is lack of good editing skills as well as poorly filmed with lengthy story line. Some scenes could be omitted, some could be extended a bit for more of a continuous and consistent watching experience. Not quite a solid piece of work I should say. It even didn't maintain my interest at some points which are meant to do so. However, the 'Carol' film is greatly filmed. Its classics, beautiful plot and attractive characters have taken my breath away. I don't remember since when I fell in love with Carol, this protagonist but assuming it might be her femininity and elegance that have made her so graceful to watch. Not to mention how this forbidden love in 1950's showing in the film both a terror and ecstasy because of it like a dream.

Finishing off the post, trying to digitally draw a galaxy associated artwork for vivid light installation submission, but been struggling with how and what to put in. Well, not much time left for that, so gotta be hurry. Anyways, starting internship on Friday, I'm all ready for that!

(12th of April)

找了一些些galaxy的animation什么的,看看能不能启发我什么。但至今还不确定究竟要画什么~所以就弄了一下午的event videos

好久好久没edit过video了。不过因为有很稳固的基础,所以一下子又上手了。我想弄的效果就是像那什么土耳其之旅的3分钟video那样,shot与shot之间得有某些element是有联系的。比如颜色,动作,或是角度各种~

今晚看的电影嘛,就是某猪推荐的咱们结婚吧。那四段恋情给我的感觉其实是紧紧相扣的。一段是相处许久痴情女对爱情缺少的安全感,一段是意外中的惊喜相遇所激起的爱情的期盼,一段是各自追求理想而忽略了的爱情,而一段更是与现在和过去的爱情纠缠。要说它们的关系,那就是爱情的不同阶段。喜欢剧情的紧凑同时又充满蓬松感,紧凑在剧情的发展都以故事的起伏而在某环节上连接的自然,而蓬松在于细节上的很多冲击给观众留下很多想象空间,也同时不由自主地会联想到自己的故事。一个简单的故事说明白了就是意义,不靠大篇幅的特效还是什么去吸引眼球,真实的呈现有的就是真实的感受~

没有等到某猪其实还好。也许吧,现在渐渐适应了那种没有了他在身边,没有他作依靠的生活。因为不想给某人带来更大的负担,所以更应该好好活出自己让他骄傲,为了不让他担心什么的,我就是应该要更有理解宽容的心态去面对我们的未来..

(11th of April)

Script writing exchange sesh today was so productive. We gotta get some good feedbacks from the class around which really has helped us a lot to improve our skills in script writing. Thanks for Nicole's feedbacks. She always would be the one commenting the most. One of the best speakers that I've known so far. Other than some parts of the contents she suggested me to make some change for a better version, the script format itself has also gotten her with so much feedbacks. The guy who I talked to from another group also gave me a really good advice for a particular scene. The zoom-in scene where acquires for some special effects to blend the still image into a video recording does need the keying and such.

Meeting up with Gold is another good time adding to the day. His attempt to become a true and pure artist, the independent freelance who only wishes to work for himself was such a tough decision made ever. He told me how much he's thought of his parents before this. It's really the uncertainty that has taken him to hesitate what this might lead him to. That's why it has made it harder for him to decide whether he should follow his heart, or going for a career that has more of a stable earning at the very least. But I do agree him to risk for once in life. If it doesn't come out as expected, he still should be proud of trying it so. I wish him all the best for his upcoming future in France. As a friend, I definitely wish him will be succeed in making his dream become true. An artist should always have hope in him, so to show people what's so beautiful about this world through his artwork. And this is what he's trying to do. Interesting enough, his interest has been my interest too. His love for exploring the museum and gallery, the passion for art and media are something that I can relate to. This is exactly why I love talking to this guy. For the hope of learning something from him, I really feel in that way. In that half an hour before his class, he taught me some functions in 3ds max too. I felt that I've learned so much in just half an hour, which is what I've been always saying, friends are the best teachers for fast track learning. The shortcut to get access to new information is to learn from your friends...

Lastly, needless to say, life drawing has been fun, with Lisa. Although the model today was the one doing the most difficult poses I've seen so far...I almost gave up in that 1 min sesh because every single pose was twisted to the ultimate level. However, I persistently to try my best in those 5 to 10 minutes poses, and I did well...

Looking forward to next Monday la. But I expect to have a male model this time, like seriously lol

Audley bushwalking (10th of April)

周日的徒步挺好玩的。虽然一开始的时候差点迷路,一路上我都沉默不作声,因为一直担忧不知道那路会带我们去哪个地方吧,但总算在一个多小时后找到了通往Audley的路径。顺着那里,我们找到了Audley track的小道,大约一个多小时后我们就到了一个叫Kangaroo creek的地方。看到了许多小船从远方的湖泊划来,某David问了他们的whereabout,他们指着另外一个方向说要去visitor centre那租来的。接着在Kangaroo歇息停留的那段break的时间里,我们玩耍了一番。在某些spots上我们做着许多奇怪的poses然后照相留恋。尤其是某块石块,我们俩互相轮流跟对方照相,在那个从那块石块跳到另外一块石块的瞬间,某D同学给我照下了以下这么可爱的小飞猪姿势


歇息了片刻后,我们又继续着我们的旅程。走到了另一边的路径通往那个visitor centre。一路上我们有说有笑,我还给他介绍了一番我的script,邀请他担任我short film里的主角。我们讨论了一下地点和时间安排的问题,还有某些scene需要用到的道具,比如说某park scene里的追狗镜头。我得计划一下要借谁的狗会比较好~

好不容易走到了Audley的visitor centre。这里比我想象中的要高大上多。除了那个清澈的湖泊在阳光的映照中显得格外明亮外,周边的人群的family time也略显惬意。Picnic的,BBQ的,游玩的,照相的,所有的一切都让我感觉心旷神怡。后悔着今天没有带camera拍下这一切,不过David说下次我们还会再来~

再次完成了一次10几公里的徒步~回家的一路上还是感觉体力充沛,那应该是一种心境一种力量支撑着吧~某David还跟我说他在银行做的那些事情。就感觉是他的一言一行似乎都成长了许多,从他去银行工作后的那一段时间里,他给我讲了许多银行内部的事情,比如说怎么anti-laundering那一方面的东西~小伙子很有前途的哈~继续加油努力工作! :3

同时也期待着我们的佳品~相信我们的short film会很成功的!
