*Struts in, back of hand on hips*
Well Well well...... it seems like i have finally begun my journey to...... THE MEDIA~~!!!! *explosions*

Muahahah~~!!!!

ok la today we filmed the shots for my Narrative Video Project; "Run"
It took four hours to complete with satisfactory (SATISFACTORY ONLY~!) results and quality. Total length we recorded? Twenty minutes. :)
wow... i really feel a bit bad for putting IMMENSE PRESSURE on my crew AND actress AND the general public.

URGH~~!!! THE GENERAL PUBLIC~~!!! They make noise, they dun noe how to keep quiet, they take their own bloody sweet time to walk past the set and worse of all; SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY MOCKED MY ACTRESS~! TOOT-ENs~~!!!

ah well.... the actress Charlene got was cooperative and enthusiastic.... didnt hear her complain too... for now.... and yeah i agreed to pay her.... hmmm lunch and a game of pool? :)
i think im gonna take a step back from now on and reject most offers of me being director; the requirement of leadership AND "people" skills are just too high~! You need to tell ppl wht to do (esp if some of your crew members are slackers or, to be put more politely, not spontaneous.) plus ensure the set is secure, plus make sure the shots line up correctly plus directing the talent plus this plus that ARGH~~!!! i'm sticking scriptwriting and cinematography (thinking up of how the shots are to be like). yeah man.. more of a producer... director? no no no~~~

yeah ok anyways today i'm gonna show some frameshots i took out from a video i took of my Audio Tech class. I need to thank my teacher, Mr Chin Boo (sorry ar... i dunno his surname... :( ) for graciously letting me record his class.
And witht he copyright thingy.... these pics are mine so you cant take them and publish it as ur own (saving into ur com is ok). These are taken in Ngee Ann.....

Ahhhh yes... Chin Boo~~~~~ Very good teacher... able to explain almost everything related to audio..... There was once during lecture, a grp of seniors were passing by the door of the theatre and one of them stuck his body in and flicked out a bull sign with his hand and cool-y said," YEEOOOOO~~~ chin boo~~~!!!!" Then Chin Boo stopped his lecture and went up to the student and replied back, complete with hand sign and all,"Yeo yeo yeo man~~!!! " and immediately closed the theatre door, walked back to his original spot and continued teaching.

This penguin's name is Michelle (she likes to be sylo so we must call her "Mitch". I can think of many offensive words that can be made up of her nickname by just replacing one letter in it. Here, we put her into a small room sepearted from the studio.. tts where the talents would do the recording and stuff.... it's soundproof... obviously... Over here.. she's tapping the mike.. cos she finds it fascinating~~!!
