We did production and post production this week. On Sunday afternoon, we started preparing the props needed. We borrowed a couple of items from the props room. We also managed to print out the signs needed for the shoot. We started shooting the next morning. Mr Phil brought his kid's clothes and toys. We used it as the vendor's items.
During the shoot, I wasn't far away from the camera. I was helping out with the sound so I hold the boom mic. I made sure that I record each scene clear enough. The outdoor scene was pretty challenging but since it's a directional mic, it was alright. I made sure that my mic wasn't facing the wind.
I find the scene in the workshop and boiler room were interesting. We had lasers and smoke machine used in that scene. We managed to complete most of the shots on our first day of production. On the second day of production, we were left with only 5-6 shots. Mr Phil did drive Douglas and I around so that we record the traffic and ambience.
We started our post production that night right after we came back from the Adobe. Douglas and I started do the rough cut. The renaming of scenes,shot and takes really helped us a lot. We were able to find the scene and shots easily. While we were doing the rough cut, Fadli started doing the vfx for one of the scene. It was really nice. We all went back to room before midnight.
The next day was similar to the previous day. We spend the day editing. Mr Harry came to take a look at our rough cut. I wrote down the shots that needed to be edit. Most of the shot need to be cut short. Mr Phil and his daughter came to the studio. Mr Phil helped us out. We recorded his voice for a couple of scenes. It was nice. We went to Autodesk that afternoon. We continue our post production when we came back. We managed to finish editing the entire sequence that night. We went back to our room later after we decided to do the Color correct and import the scene that Fadli have been working on.
The next day, Mr Harry and Mr Phil came to the studio to take a look at our work. We started on editing the audio. Fadli and Douglas did the audio. Went they are done, I continued to editing the scenes. Mr Kean and Douglas did the ending credit. After Douglas had import the video, I got to readjust the volume for the scene. Mr Harry and Phill was there to point out which scenes were too loud. We stopped at 5pm and had our dinner. After dinner, Mr Phil took us to the baseball game. It was really awesome! The Giants won!! :p
The next day, I woke up earlier. I went to the studio at 6am plus to finish up readjusting the volume and reimport the new end credit that Douglas have re-render. Mr Phil and his daughter dropped by around 7plus. I went back to my room at 8plus. I told Douglas that I'm done editing and asked him to take a look. He went to studio and render out the video when everything was okay.
We were given a participation cert by Mr Harry and Rev. Lau. (: right after that, Mr Harry and Ms Li Soon took us to Lucasfilm! Ryan gave us a tour. He's a really nice person. We walked around to see the work done/ used in film. The matte paintings were all very nice. I love it. (: We had a farewell lunch at a Chinese restaurant. It was nice to have lunch with them.
We went back to Cornerstone at 3pm. We cleaned up our room for a few minutes. We were told to head down for our short film screening (: it was great and it feels good to see our work. At the end, we were given an award and baseball bat xD Thank you Mr Phil and Mr Harry. ((:
We went back to our room and packed our luggage and cleaned our room. Later, Mr Kean told us that our flight is tomorrow. LOL. I spend the rest of the day taking a short nap before Mr Harry and Li Soon took us out for dinner. (:
