post-production day 5

today is the 5th day of our post-production. met up with my team at 11am in hereafter lab. today we were supposed to be done with the last part of our audio, den export our video out and then discuss what is needed to be done for tml interim presentation 2. well, my team did not managed to do all that.. had some unforeseen circumstances =D it does not really cause a big hiccup to the whole team as we are pretty much ahead of time!

just got to hear that our interim 2 presentation is postponed to next tuesday due to the unavailability of the audio suites and the editing suites in hereafter.. this would be good for all of us i feel.. even though my team is quite done with everything, the extra time given would allow us to better edit our final video and do the necessary arrangement for next tuesday interim 2.

today, suhba and rachel were given the task of doing the trailer for our video.. supposedly to be done by today before we (me, yijie, and the two of them) we
re to leave school.. however, due to some unforeseen circumstances.. =(, they did not managed to do the trailer today.. hopefully, they were be able to finish up on the trailer tml.. it is not going to take them quite long i hope..

huizhen and novem were off for a short break today..apparently to help a guy by the name of Jackie to shoot? hahaha. anyway, they really deserved this break.. away from sch! after all, they have been working their asses off. APPRECIATE it. =D

i realized that it wi
ll actually take us quite some time to render our videos from fcp after we are done with our necessary editing.. i took 4 tries (each lasting bout 10 mins) to render our video.. something wrong with the setting each time i render it.. i realized that i should use export --> quick time compression and not export --> quick time before rendering out the video.. INTERESTING haha. i also realised that i am also supposed to select all the tracks available before rendering.. if not it will not be captured. this is interesting. i am not so much on the post-production side.. more towards the pre and production side.. well @ least today i learn something about post-production! interesting!

and after that, since i got some time, i tho
ught to myself.. why not do some stuffs to package our work.. wouldn't it look more professional? so i got down to 3D lab and started designing the dvd cover. hereafter lab no photoshop and stuffs. MOST IMPORTANTLY! no internet. i was not able to get my pictures if there were no internet in hereafter lab.. so i went down to 3D.

here is how it looks like! i have not show the rest of the team for review.. will do so tml! =D



yijie gave me some ideas and suggestions! thanks yj! =D we are the best art department uh!



today has definitely been an INTERESTING day.
