Yes as you can see from my title. Today we need to hand up our production dairy and have to finish the last entire by tonight.
Today went school early to prepare everything. Well I woke up early in the morning to burn the DVD. This should be done yesterday, but I was too tired that I fell asleep without knowing when and how. I still haven’t given up hope to render to DVD in Premiere Pro. And ones again it fails at the exact same spot. I was very upset with my laptop.
Well so I rendered another .avi file and it needs 3 hours to render it out. So which means I have to keep my laptop on while traveling to school on bus. Fortunately the bus wasn’t crowded at all. I still manage to carry my laptop on my hands.
Reached school and it’s still rendering. Ok finally it’s done. And I had another problem. I couldn’t use the “Video DVD” function in my laptop to burn; probably I think it’s OEM version issue. I’m sick of these serious. Problems are queuing up to visit me. I have no idea why.
Ok so here comes another problem, I tried the school’s computer and it had error! But I still haven’t give up. I tired burning using any possible software to burn the video DVD. In the end I still gave up. Seeing so much time I spent trying and still gets so many errors, I decided to burn as a Data DVD.
Well I couldn’t believe it either, it’s so drama. But it really happened to me! I have nothing to say seriously, tired of fixing my laptop.
And I understood that animation takes a lot more time then video editing. That’s what I personally felt. He’s the main animator in our production. I knew for sure, he needs more time to complete his animate and blog. I knew when a person is tired he or she can’t work well especially in animation. If without his high quality work, I don’t think our video will look nice. So I really hope Dion can finish his blog on time.
Anyway I shell thanks people who have helped us in the production especially our lecturer Siddons!
Thanks!
Goodbye!

Block B - Day 17 – Post Production + Presentation
So I shell continues the story. I went back to school and I’m the first to reach. Time flies. But unfortunately Dion was the last to reach school. We’re all waiting for my laptop and Dion in the 2D lab to transfer the footage into a DV tape. Because Dion has my laptop with him. We were informed that the presentation was going to start soon so we had to go down, if not late comer will have their marks deducted. So we went LT25 to wait for Dion.
Finally Dion reached school. Another problem arise, my laptop is able to detect the camera but it keeps having problem transferring to the tape. I seriously have no idea what went wrong. The firewire, laptop and camera are all new. New as in just brought it and didn’t really test it out. So I’m not quite sure where the problem is. But thankfully we had Lionel with us. He directed me to change the settings and it really works! Really have to thanks him for helping us. But the funniest thing is, I’ve tried those steps before he told me but it doesn’t seem to work. Well I have no idea what was going on either. Oh before that, I tried on the DV deck and it doesn’t seem to work or detect either. Perhaps I think a tired man is an unlucky man.
Anyway thanks to all those lectures and people who have helped us to get the footage on tape!
I notice we’re the only group that have 6 people and had the longest video duration, which is almost 20 minutes. I think the audience enjoyed the video which we presented. Some say it’s quite long but some say it’s alright if the contents are interesting. Hope nobody will feel boring after watching it.
After the whole presentation ended I went home with half of my eyes closed. And this is the first time in my life which I slept all the way to the interchange till the driver came to wake me up, and that’s when I notice I’m in the bus interchange and the bus was already parked nicely. Well I think not everybody will have the change to experient it, I guess. Well what can I say, it’s embarrassing. Oh I wore the wrong jeans of my daddy’s’ out for the whole day. And I only notice it when I reach home! I thought I slimed down so fast within a week. That’s why you kept seeing me pulling my jeans up after every 3 foot steps. It was so annoying.

Block B - Day 16 – Post Production (Tuesday)
Dion and Andrea came over to my house to do the video editing that was left out. They reach here at late evening time. Well they spent their night here till the nest morning. We were all super tired at that time. Dion and Andrea had nothing much to do after the animation was done, it was wee hours so they slept at my house. But I’m still awake to continue my editing. Well they went home early the next morning. Oh they were trying very hard to finish the animation ASAP so that I can edit in and render it on time.
Today I’m so stressed up! My computer keeps having problem and the rendering takes 20+ hours for the whole video to render with every effects I applied! Of-course I stop the process! I don’t have much time to spare. So I switched to a faster computer to render. Guess what? It takes only 13 hours to render but I still think it’s too long, this rendering is way too expansive So I decided to render it with some of the effects switched off. I think the blur effect uses a lot of time to render. I use that effect for the background. The reason I applied the blur effect on it is because it won’t attract much of the viewers’ attention.
So after much efforts and time I spent transferring those files that is need for the rendering and finally it shows 3 hours of rendering time. I was very tired and was pretty stressed up. The things that everyone are afraid of are; error rendering during half way and renders over time. Well both happened to us! I was so disappointed with my computer seriously.
After I’ve done my editing, I rendered it to DVD. It went smoothly when it’s rendering and it took 3 hours to render, but when it came to burning, it fails! And that was like 5 or 6 am already. I was so afraid that if I try rendering it to DVD again, the same error would occur again. So I decided to export to .avi. Seeing that there wasn’t much time left for me to look after the rendering due to my driving lesson, I passed my laptop to Dion. I instructed him on what to do after the rendering.
I was late for my driving lesson and when I reach there, I notice how stupid I am. I went on the wrong day! My brain was seriously dead at that time. My driving lesson was supposedly on Tuesday, which means I’ve missed it and $60 gone!
Well please don’t get confuse because now I’m blogging on yesterday’s blog. Because I worked over night till now so this should be considered as Tuesday’s work.

Block B - Day 15 – Post Production
Well today everybody meet up again to do those nessory things that wasn’t done or left to be done. And ones again my room had turned into a hotter oven because the weather is hotter today.
After they went home, I rushed hoping to get the editing done ASAP because the deadline is nearer and nearer! Well I planned not to sleep as to finish up finishing up the rest of the editing. But as usual I fell asleep, I was so damn tired probably because I faced my bright CRT monitors screen for the whole day.
