Day 19

We gathered at 2d lab at 9.30 am. After uploading the videos, we noticed inconsistency in exposure. We have 2 solutions. The first one would be colour correction and the second one would to be re-shooting the newscaster scenes.
We proceeded with finalizing the storyboard. I guided him on what to draw while helping Nafisah decide on the audio too. I admit my part of the storyboard was very long, due to many transitions.
Gary was getting gastric already so i accompanied him to buy some food while Andreas draws the storyboard. P.S i can't draw yet, sorry. Nafisah told us that she had to follow her parents to JB. Upon hearing this news, i became very stressed out. I heaved a sigh of relieve that she will be back by tonight.
I came back and helped Andreas in finishing the ending of the storyboard. We went around the school taking photos to confirm and help him draw more precise compositions and angles.
This is the sequence for our ending:
Spiral Staircase -> Jupiter Cafe -> the staircase leading to central area -> Business school's Cheers -> top view from engineering -> IT school cafetaria.
I had a stomachache and so retreated to the gents for quite awhile.
We wanted to do a freeze shot but we were reminded that Hanis' group will be doing the same thing. So we decided that we shoot the ending sequence at the soccer field, with us shouting "No Exams!" and throwing up our old textbooks. We will freeze the books in mid air. I will be the cameraman for the whole ending sequence if my medical condition allows me to do so.
I had to leave at 3.15 pm so me and Andreas met up again at 6.45pm. I instructed Gary and Honey to work with Andreas on the scripts and storyboards after I leave.
He showed me the progress and I was quite satisfied with it. We had our dinner and my friend offered us to work at his place. We discussed and finalized everything, or so we thought. We finalized his segment of out of class learning's storyboard. The sunset at Bedok Reservoir Park would be a time lapse, and the late night scene at Pasir Ris Park would feature Changi Harbour. We left at 9 pm.

The nightmare starts at night. I had some changes for Honey's segment. The withdrawal symptoms were as such, described by Andreas in his blog:

"Sudden updates :
at around 11 PM 13th minutes 10th seconds [11:13:10 {based on MSN time history}]; I've received a message from Raymond that he got a new idea to update Honey's part. Thus, we discussed about this. However, since discussion over MSN is quite hard, we had a hard time understanding each other. I redrew and resent to him until he agreed with it finally. We discussed till both of us almost reached the peak of insanity."

Well, basically he went insane trying to get it and draw while i got insane trying very hard to explain to him, and both of us are actually already exhausted and stressed.


I really would like to express my heartfelt thanks for Andreas. Due to my injury, he has to take up a lot of my work.
