pre-production day 5

day 5 of our pre-production! =)

this is getting better, with my set design almost done.
actually, it is done, a hole just needed to be cut for to form its cave.

before i continues, i was pleased with my team was working well as one. each and everyone of us definitely made a difference to the team.
i have to thanks the following people for making the production of my set design a success..

1) yijie for my personal assistant as i built the set.
2) novem and huizhen for helping me with the set whenever yijie was not beside me. =X they also provided me with constructive ideas on how to get the set going.. thanks! =D
3) subah for helping me build all the trees that i need for the tomatoes area. it was definitely a tedious process and i appreciate it. oh yah.. she is the tree woman.
4) rachel for helping me build the mountains for the durian area. i know plasticine sucks in feel and smell, but nevertheless we are there! we are done! =D thanks!
5) myself for building the set, painting the set, arranging the objects in my art direction.. cool!

overview of my set design:



take a look at the tomatoes area.. have alot of greenery, a lake and their house -a very stress free outlook



have a peek at the durian's 'house': rocks, mountains and sands plus a bit of grass form the area where the durian is - a very solemn mood (mood board):



interim presentation 1 was cool! Julian seems pleased with what we have to offer him.. and he added that we are GOOD to go. though everything is such a rush, i was definitely happy that we are right on track.
we are intending to start shoot on monday and wrap the shoot on thursday.
meanwhile, huizhen and novem will get their part done well as director and assistant director. and also the team has decided to work with p2 camera instead of DV cam (p2 size is twice the size of the DV cam..
and even though the p2 cam is definitely able to fit into the set but one thing for sure, our movement are definitely restricted..)

well even with that, we still chose to work with p2 because peng taught us some of the functions that the p2 can offer us when we are doing our stop motion and the team is definitely happy with what is has to offer us.. the team also hope to have more contact with the p2 cam as it is still the cam that we will be using for our FYP. so isnt it better to start early? =D


well, no worries! we will work our way around.
we will definitely come up with something with 6 brilliant brains.

monday is our big day!

so rest well through the weekend guys! lets' r0ll the shoow on MONDAY!

~and, i have COOL people in my team.
