Hi to whoever is viewing our blog.
Now its is 1101.
13 hours more to submission.
There is a mix feeling in my heart.
I wanted this to end so that we could take a break,
but yet, i feel that we need more time to improve our work.
Majy is making me act like a Duck.
I think she is too stress.
Because whenever she is stress,
apple will be the brunt of all her jokes.
She reads my mind.
so she knows what i am typing here.
I see sholleh's group still doing recording.
Im tired...
WE ARE WEARING SOMETHING TMR!
not naked. HAHA (:
jingyuan is cool (:
alvin is loo (:
majy is two (:
and apple is HOT STUFF!
WAHAHAHA!
i dont make any sense so im going to log off and pass it to majy!
BYEBYE apple(:


apple's text orientation is a bit weird just like apple herself. then again, apple is the personification of weird.
we're listening to really old... actually, not that old but old enough... songs. very nostalgic. so, we're in the audio room and the air-con is blasting. my toes have long since dropped off and fell numb but after more of our fellow peers decided to grace us with their presence, it isn't that cold anymore. my toes are re-sewn and saved. hallelujah.
the process of the last three days were pretty intensive. jingyuan has been editing and her eyes are puffy and black like, you know, a pufferfish and a panda merged. heh. a pufferda. lol. wah, lame. must be apple's influence.
apple has been doing the paperwork and is most of the brains behind most of the marketing stuff. she should indulge this and bask in the glory of this because i actually said 'brains' and 'apple' in the same sentence.
the brains need hands however, so hah, maj has hands to type and illustrate while apple was concentrating on her paperwork. had to add the latter in because apple is feeling a bit insecure about her abilities and demand that i say she is focused. apple is doing aftereffects. .........
so, digressing... between us, we split the marketing things (happy apple?) and made alvin sponsor our entire production. did i mention what a good cameraman he is? hi, alvin.
pufferda is still doing her work. piano group is forcing their talent to hum a song but their talent, apparently doesn't have enough 'talent' to hum. it's difficult, ok, humming. i understand how she feels. and with 100983 pairs of eyes looking at her. poor thing.
i very lo-so. but apple is still reading.
yay. we're gonna like, wear totally funky 'new kids on the block' stuff tomorrow.
byebye.
maj :)

Was not able to stay with the crew till the end for yesterday shoot due to some outside screening i had. But i belive those guys have fun :\

I decided to take a break from editing and blog...
ROARRR. EDITING IS KILLING ME OMGOSH. I swear I'm not gonna take up CDI anymore. :(

One more week to the end of P2!!! CANNOT WAIT PLEASE. I really need a breather man. :/ Sleeping at wee hours everyday is not cool.

I'm more or less done with editing. I'm colour correcting now. And it sucks because its so tedious. Sigh. Ok I know I should just stop complaining and get back to work. BUT I CAN'T HELP IT. I need a place to rant!

Anyway, interim one yesterday was okay. Bertrand taught us a very cool way of color correcting. And I also found it on the net, they uses a different method though, and I find it easier to use. I'm not sure if im incorporating the effect into our video. I have to make sure it fits and not just do for the sake of doing, yada yada you get my drift. Although I really want to be selfish and make our video outstanding. LOL. We really put in so much effort!

I think I'm turning a bit sot due to lack of sleep. :/

ANN SIANG HILL
LOL, WTH. TAK GLAM
hahahahah! GET WHAT WE MEAN. It's so torn and tattered already. But anyway, the gym already close down. There's even open air toilet on the second floor which we can see one. Hahaha. Wtf right. No offence, we are just very fascinated by this place. ;)



SO COOL RIGHT. We climbed up there to film!
Scared also wanna act smiley. :/ Hum ji. LOL

ICE KIMO
We clean people's shop for free okay. How nice. Tsk.
HAHAHA.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAH THIS ONE EVEN MORE FUNNY. SO CUTE RIGHT. We should should really treat both of them for sacrificing so much for us man!

MY PLACEJosh fell asleep while we were preparing
This was our dinner. For 5 people. LOL. TOO MUCH. So we had to call people to come and eat. hahaha.
HAHA SEE TAK GLAM AGAIN


He went crazy at wee hours.I had to say this. My house scenes start from morning 10am like that till 4am in the morning. In between minus off some time cos Josh went back to school to do his stuffs.
See our cast 's zombie face at that hour. hhaha.
Yay. Gosh let me say it again.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR P2 TO BE OVER OH GOD.

BACK TO EDITING.

OKAY A UPDATE FROM APPLE (:

From alvin soe's post, you can see that we have much fun at ann xiang, chinatown. It was actually quite tiring to go down on two days as we have to carry alot of equipments down from home and the taxi fares cost a BOMB! And over at that place, there was no exact shelter, therefore causing the sunburns (as seen from previous yuan's post).

We didn't follow the shot list that we done as at the set, alvin and i came out with more different and much more interesting shots. For example tracking on a SPIRAL STAIRCASE and top shot by climbing onto the edge or hedge or whatever you call it. Missed out a shot which was the tight CU of Peter's mouth but luckily for this we can always cheat at other places as we only need the mouth (:

For the next shoot, we went to this cafe called ice kimo to shoot scenes where Peter is having his lunch (or in this case dessert (: ). Alvin knows the boss of this place so its quite easy for us to get hold of the place and there is not much customers in the morning ( totally no one... ).. So we, the crew went in frame to act as extras! Keep laughing at ourselves but nevermind! We had our fun (:

After the cafe shoot, we are SUPPOSED to go to jingyuan house to carry on shooting. But as our cast ( and also us ) were feeling very reluctant due to tiredness, we decide to go and set up so that we can shoot on the next day. yippee!

Next morning, went over and started to set up even more. shoot till around 12 30 and our cast needs to get back to school. So alvin went home to do his stuff and maj me yuan stayed at yuan house. Ended up with yuan facial-ing, maj guitar-ing and i totoro-ing and all three of us fell asleep till like 4pm...

Started shoot at around 8pm after our cast came back with a full stomach filled with our lovely spagetti (: Shoot ended at around 3am and we all cab home (:

We left only with those wall interaction scenes and close up of mother and peter lips which we gonna do later (:

WE OWE EQUIPMENTS FOR DAMN LONG!
Hope mr tay wouldn't mind. ( :\ )
Oh and MAJ FORGIVE ME FOR SUCH A BROKEN ENGLAND POST!
HAHA (:

Due to the rain, we had to go back to Ann Siang Hill for a 2nd day of shoot...


During the 1st day of shoot, we discoverd the secret of this Ann Siang Hill...


We saw this spa/gym/pub at the hill, and it had RAINBOW flag outside its shop...


There were macho guys going around, entering the spa from backdoor, and to mention... we only see GUYS going in...


Maybe because Josh had a RAINBOW socks, it attracted the attention of one of the RAINBOWS guy... hahaha...


Just as we were filming halfway... We saw this... At the side entrance of the pub...
























Now you know... its really a macho pub man!

I just realized that i suck at blogging la!

It took me 3 try to get this post up man! Its killing my brain cell man!

Anyway, rewinding backward....

Ann Siang Hill shoot was rather cool, although it somehow rained on the 1st day, but it didn't really affected us that much...

Thinking positive, maybe its another opportunity for us, to slowly try and achieve better shots?

















































Oh yah, when we were at ann siang hill... we discovered something....

look out for next post k! haha
