LAST DAY YAHOO

Hello! Today is our submission day!
Came school early to to some finishing touches and rendering. But a lot of problems comes up and we had to delay the presentation time to 1 something. Rendering NEVER fails to give us problems i don't know why.

I'm glad everyone laughed when viewing our work. It has never been serious film when yanping and me are together. :D it was fun though. Comedy makes people happy, thats why I love comedy a lot.

Raj's group is omg. Like lord of the rings can! Raj can do 3D animation SOOOO well! So unbelivable. It was so good really.

And i think other group did really well as well! After all, everyone suffered much together during this 2 months of hell. Rushing, filming, animating, drawing, editing, rendering. And yes its finally over!!

Enjoy your holidays people! love love!

Last day before submission date.

Scare the shit out of me today.

I went to school this afternoon ready to finish my animation.
I scanned my sketches into the computer and trace it in flash. Everything went well, I saved and I went up to my MMfund class for presentation.

I don't know why but something crop up with my thumbdrive in mmfund lesson. Then I tried other computer and my thumbdrive couldn't open. I was like OH SHIT. My P1 files are ALL in it!! HOW HOW HOW!
But Sam's laptop manage to detect my thumbdrive. sigh of relief.
Then I went back to 3D lab after my presentation to continue with my animation. I use another computer. Was doing and doing and went i wanted to save it, error again. I tried saving it in other ppl's td and even harddisk but nothing works! I was so damn worried.
I remove the thumbdrive and use another computer the open the file, there was error again and this time big problem. My whole animation file disappear. Omg thats it man. I was going bonkers. I spent so much time infront of the com, tracing and animating and now, GONE? Wtf?

Then i went back to my working com again and try. Keep trying and trying and trying and nothing works!!! So i told myself, ok, go out, take a breather and think of other ways.
But I just couldn't help it. The thought of me putting so much effort and everything just disappear into thin air. The thought of starting everything from scratch and waste another few hours tracing it. It just scares me. Tmr submission date, tmr submission date. Everyone is finishing, i have to start over it. These wild thoughts just keep appearing in my mind, so much so that i couldn't help but start tearing.

Eventually i convinced myself that, yes, i just have to face it and start everything from the top.
jen and friends keep helping me to locate the files. Trying to save the flash file that I'm working on. But nothing helps. I was so convinced i have to start everything again. Then i suddenly have an idea. Why don't I copy every movement and drawing i have and open a new file? Yes, i tried it. I thought it will work. But no. It didn't work at all. This little hope i have gone as well.

Ronald came and helped but it didn't work as well. Until Peng comes in.

Omg, i tell you he's such a genius man.
He's one man who wouldn't give up until he finds a solution or an alternative to it. After trying so many things, he said asked me to move the stuffs in the desktop away. Because the desktop its full, maybe thats the reason. So i did. And TA DA! Everything works smoothly again! I can save my files xD
On the other hand, jen was helping me to retrieve my files on her laptop. thank you love :)
After all, its my work, so i'm really glad everyone is helping me to save my flash.
Peng is the best man. He solved so many of our problems. Thank you so much!
Thanks yanping and sarah as well! much loves to you!

I resume my work after that. Using the same com, trusting that it won't give me any problems again.

And just a few hours ago I was sitting down there, tearing like some ass who just know nothing but cry. Its kind of stupid isn't, i give up trying after i tried everything i could and just hoping that time could revert back and everything is still fine.
I'm such a silly person. Why do i always get so down during the last day before submission. I'm such an idiot sometimes. If only i could be like Peng, abit calmer, abit smarter and abit positive. Everything would have went well for me.

I guess that is just what I have to learn in my life.
and it just couldn't be help and i guess very hard to change as well.
Its something in me that i couldn't be a little bit more stronger.
But i believe theres a weakness in everyone of us.
Its my work, and a group work. I don't want because of my carelessness and everyone get a lousy mark. And don't want because of me, the quality of the whole project got pulled down. Because everyone worked hard these 2 months just so that we could finish this project and get promoted.
I'm glad its over now.
I've finished my work.
We just have to compile it together and prepare for the screening tmr.

I thank everyone who had helped me during these times when i needed it.
And thanks for being patient with me and everything that ive done wrong, i apologize.

and everything i did well, thank me ok. HAHA. Just kidding.
Goodbye year 1. I hope we won't see each other again.

With lots of love,
me.

day 15

Monday today.

Went to school ard 12 smth. Still sick as usual and  got a growth, some say ulcer, some say some pus thingy grow on my throat. Gross. 

I slept at 4am last night just to crack my brain for ideas on what to draw for credits. Finally i had an idea. And i start sketching, and i couldn't take it anymore so i went to sleep.

its just really some rough sketches. Im thinking of whether should i animate it or leave it as illustration. We don't have much time left, and i still HAVENT FINISH MY MMFUND WORK! I know p1 is more impt than mmfund. But im very worried because i don't want to retake mmfund. Like seriously don't want to. I just want to pass this module chop chop and GIVE ME MY HOLIDAYS. T.T

K anyway, went to school and continued drawing. I had my medicine and i fall aslp on the chair. Woke up at 3 going to 4pm and i was so hungry so i left for cheers and canteen and bought alot of food for myself. I'm seriously gonna gain 10kg. K, went back class, finish eating and continue drawing again. Omg, never-ending cycle. 

But while drawing, i was watching some drama online as well. :D. hey, that balanced out my stress ok. haha.left school at 7smth for dinner. and reached home ard 10 smth.

And continue drawing until now. which is 3am for god sake. I am so bloody tired, im completely drained and restless. I seriously hope this whole block end end end end end!

Ok good nights. I'm gonna start a battle tmr.

Day another another saturday

As usual, we met up on another lazy saturday whereby everyone should have slept at home, or watch tv, or out shopping. But for now our saturday is for p1. Sad life.

Went to school and i begin squeezing out brain juices for animation for ending. None came out. All i could think of is, i haven't touch my mmfund work yet.

p1 is on 19 march, mmfund is on 20 march. tell me how to not worry? Just let me get promoted and DONT FAIL ME. Thank you, and full of love. byebye. Im so sick i could just die right here.

Day 14

Today theres presentation. Nt a class presentation though. More like a consultation. So we went to school to have our video edited and me, well, keep on coming up with more ideas on what to do for animation. 

Seriously sometimes I just wish i could stop thinking about P1, stop drawing and just sleep my day away. 

Ok, just kidding.

I went for my lesson after that. I lost my voice this morning, so i can't present for my MMfund. Sam ask me to do it next week. Sian.

Yanping msg me after that saying that is our turn soon for p1 presentation, so i took my leave and went down to meet them.

Then they said ronald ask to meet at his office. So we went to borrow Shuxian's laptop (since she got premier pro) and went up to his office. ue to some problems, sx's premier cant open our file and neither ronald nor shuxian got quicktime player to play our rendered video. So we had to go down and borrow jenny's laptop instead.

Ronald gave us some comments on our video. And thankfully he said he can follow what we were trying to convey through the video. Me and yanping keep thinking and very convinced that our video is way out of topic. But whats done is done. So lets hope after editing everything will better.

Day 13

Finally my mother and aunt convinced me to go and see a doctor. I completely lost my voice today and I'm glad our presentation has been postponed. I missed my mmfund presentation though.

I'm feeling very lousy now. Cause not only I'm sick, i'm having my cramps. And I can't sleep tonight because submission is on Monday. And my Mmfund is on Wednesday. Yea, I can see hell right infront of me now. They are welcoming me.

There are just TOO many things to be done. Oh god.

Day 12

Went to school late today because I went to get my polo tee for the dip show at night. I'm the ''bouncer'' :)
Then I went straight for my Mmfund lesson while Yanping continue to do editing.
Came back down after lesson and went for Dip show.

I'm sick like a sick cow. I'm practically floating around now.

Day 11

Hello. Its a Monday today. And we are not in school xD

I slept till afternoon with such nice weather. 

We did not go to school but we stayed at home o do our work. :)

I did my animation for the credits as usual. I don't know why but I never seems to be able to finish it.

Erasing, drawing, coloring. Over and over again. My back begins to hurt so badly. My eyes were closing. But for the sake of P1! I ENDURE!  T.T 

Seriously,  faster end and let me have my holidays. :)

I got so many things to do but I don't know which one to start and where to start. And I'm having a fever plus many other free gifts such as runny nose like a tap water. How great.

Day another Saturday

Came back school to finish the filming.

Damn reluctant to get out of bed actually. I mean, its a Saturday! hello~ 

But I still dragged myself up. 

Day 10

Yp and I came to school early today, around 11am, to do our work.
She brought home Sh's lappy cause there is Premier Pro inside. But apparently it doesn't work so had to come to school and do.
Reached 2D lab and I used the laptop to do my flash.
After that Shuxian and a few others came to do their work as well.

Last minute office called and said theres a urgent meeting with Moses. Many couldn't make it because they already had plans, and I got an appointment to go to. So I had to miss it as well.

We moved over to the 3D lab, finally it is open for use.
I continued to do my flash. Coke spilled on me x( Cleaned up. And continue with my flash.

I'm still at the first scene for my animation. A lot more to go.. Its a very very VERY tedious process.
But I'm trying. I'm doing my work.
No matter how little I've done so far, at least I got do.
I made an effort to make sure it looks clean and smooth. Make sure everything move naturally. It is not easy but I am doing it and I will finish up. 

I know this is what I will do in the future. I don't look forward, but i will accept it. Because its what I choose to do.

Day 9

Came to school around 1PM today. Shao Hui brought his laptop with him so we went to 2D lab, found a place and do our work. His lappy couldn't detect the hard disk so we used school's computer instead.
I used his laptop to do the animation.

The previously edit one, there's some problem with the audio files. So we got to re-edit again.
I spent quite some time doing the flash and I had to go off at 2.30pm for lesson. So they stayed and continue to edit.

Came back around 5.30pm and we went home.

Day 8

Animation room was packed again. Since 3D lab is locked due to the critic going on. Anyway, it caused a lot of inconvenience for everyone. Seriously.

Because the 3D lab is locked, we ask Clinton to go home and transfer to the hard disk Sarah bought yesterday. Problems yet again. Never fail.
So yanping followed him so that he can jolly well stay at home and don't come back.

Unproductive. Animation room packed. 3D room locked. Maclab closed. The other 2 labs do not have premier pro. You can't blame us for not doing anything. We came to school every single day at 12pm. We want to keep up with our schedule and finish our work. HOWEVER, the rooms had to be lock, full of people or don't have premier pro.

Not that we got no other choices, we can go other's house and do. But what if we faces problems? Who to ask for help??
I'm very irritated by everything. Not yet done with my animation for credits part. My project one had to clash with another module. I have to cope with P1, cope with another module, and not much time left with everything.

I can't freaking wait for my p1 to end. CAN'T WAIT.
I'm going to die soon if this continues.

K, i'm going back to my lesson.

Day 7

Ok hi.

Went to school feeling very listless today. As in, VERY. Lack of sleep I guess.

Today was my scene. Supposedly the last one... But we got some scenes need to re-shoot so.. ya.
It was a very quick one because the room was empty.
Sorry, an unproductive one again. But at least we had one scene.
Editing failed again because nobody has a hard disk. And we couldn't transfer our files.

So everything ended like this.

Day 6

Ok, super unproductive day today.

We went to school decide to do some editing. So we went in 3D lab and upload our footage. Halfway through, Alan told us we have to get out of the room cause they having Final year critic in there. We begin to look for thumbdrives and stuff because our files are more than 10gb. My thumbdrive is only a pathetic 2gb :(

We don't know what to do and who else to call. If we didn't have our files. we have to stop work for 2 days. Thats too long, and we can't afford to lose 2 days. We scared we couldn't finish on time for the final presentation.
After calling so many people and the replies were the same, we decided to give up and just "rest"for 2 days.
We left the room and wendy's group were outside. Lady luck was on our side :D wendy have a 120 gb external hard disk with her. So we transferred our work in there.

But after that I left. Cause i need to go to the temple. :D

Day Saturday

Hello. I kinda forgot what did we do today.

We went to school ard 12+ today, up to the studio and start our filming process. :)

We took the scene whereby sh walk in the studio and start modelling the clay. Yanping followed him from behind.
There are a few people in the studio doing paper-making. So we can film them as well, to show our 3D art process.
Yp hide behind a machine and Sh sat down and do the clay. Because that scene suppose to fast-forward so we ask Sh to have a lot of big actions, exaggerated expressions and stuff. It was really damn hilarious! Can't stop laughing. The process was fun :D

After that we took the scene when Sh walk back down to the 2D animation room. But we stopped after that because theres alot of ppl in the room.

Then i went town with yp. xD

Day 5

Day 5 is 29 Feb. Happy leap year friends :)

We decided to go school slightly earlier to finish the filming but shao hui was late. So we went for lunch instead.

We didn't have the mood for anything, as usual.., but we managed to convince ourselves to start shooting.
We shoot the part whereby Sh walks up to lvl 5 from lvl 2. And yanping follow him up. Hence, it is spy's view camera. Then when they reached the top, we change it to main camera view.

It was 3pm by then and i had to go for lesson. So the rest finished up the stairs scene and they went off.

Hello leap year. See you again 4 years later. :D

Day 4

Hello.
We took the scene where spy suppose to enter the school. It was an easy shot but the ramp has to be cleared from people walking around so Sarah and Shao hui went to stationed themselves at the entrance and they prevent people from walking past the frame.

We took around 3 scenes because the first few failed. But the last one was the better one. So we decided to take that shot.
After that we went to the 3D animation room to take the DMfund shot.
I stand at the dustbin there and shoot clinton walk in from the door, talk to yanping, sit down and begin his work.
We also showcased our previous DMfund works through this shot..
And the funny part was, yanping suppose to comment on the works, she was saying, not bad then she wanted to say quite good but it turns out to be quite BAD. HAHAHA. Omg, we laughed like hell.

K, after the DMfund scene we went to level 2 to take our 2D art scene. Yanping as the spy had to crawl flat on the floor. And poor thing she got some minor bruises on the elbows and knee caps. Hahaha.

Ok thats all. Bye yo.

Day 3

Hey lo!

We are quite ahead of our scheduled time this time round. We move pretty fast and took quite a few scenes.

Today we took the scene at the design ramp whereby yanping saw clinton and she starts following him. We have quite a few takes. Some were either pan too slow or ngs. Like one scene when yanping run too fast and bang herself to the wall, which make us laughed.

Next scene is when clinton walk to the 3d animation room. With Jeremy as our guest star :D he had to talk to clinton so as to make the time longer for the camera to reach the dustbin.
after that we skipped the room scene since they forgot to bring their dm fund work... so we did the lift scene.
The year 2s helped us out in that scene. Thank you all. They were very cooperative. :D

After that we upload our footage into the computer so that we can overwrite the rest tommorow xD
