I-Weekly/ 8 Days Roadshow 2009

Last weekends, from Friday to Sunday, Plaza Singapura was holding the I-Weekly/ 8 Days Roadshow 2009. I was there as well. My intern company does coverage for the events. I had a chance to shoot the event on Saturday & Sunday for the first time. It was a great learning experience. There was many things to look out for, eg. iris, focus, zoom. On top of that, I had to stay alert to the things happening around and be quick with my fingers on the focus and zoom. Shooting a film and shooting an event eahc has different rules. I also saw some mediacorp artistes and taiwan's singing artistes. Below are the pictures taken from Friday to Sunday. (My boss was kind enough to help me take the last 2 days' pictures while I was shooting):

God damn it

God damn it. Why for heaven's sake must it be you?
God damn it. What the hell did I see in you?
God damn it. You're perfect yet messed up sometimes
That when it comes right down to it at the very end
You're still the one I can't erase from my very mind
God damn it.

Small thoughts

Assumptions. Don't get caught up and played around by them. Stop thinkin' too much.

Weekend Recap

Had a busy and long weekend. Kicking start the long and busy weekend is the SPKC FOC'09; came back on Sunday afternoon at 2pm and then head out again for the 14th Compass Awards'09 my intern co. is working on. Won't be saying anymore of my Weekend Recap but show it in pictures at the end of this post.

Monday afternoon, I woke up at 2pm (my boss gave me the day off) after getting back home at 12 midnight the previous night. It's the first time I slept 'till 2pm and my body pretty much feels like a truck just ran over it. I'm drained physically and slightly mentally because of the camp and some personal awareness issues. But, all's blown away when I loaded the last episode of Supernatural S04: Lucifer Rising and watched its finale.

In addition, I caught up with an overseas friend, Val I made on DA> then Facebook> then Msn; swooned over the last ep and watched the Castiel/Dean (more slash) fanvid she made for me and 2 other people who enjoy this show and is obsessed with the show and the pairings. I'm touched. It's the first time someone's made a video for me; and it's something I really like on top of it.

I think I should do the same for her by writing a Dean/Sam (more slash) Wincest (yaoi) fanfiction for her and let her nose bleed dry in bliss XD

Over & Done with

The FHM June issue'09 TVC has been finalised. I had done the changes according to the client's request and left the audio part for my boss to handle (since I'm not that well-versed with the audio part).

And, today, I heard from my boss that the updated version of the TVC has been sent and it's finalised. To sum it up, it's over and done with! Woot! Once the TVC is out on broadcast, I'm gonna request a copy of the rendered file from my boss if permitted. My first TVC that I've ever done (with help and mentoring from my boss)!

Can't wait to see the TVC on broadcast It's exciting to see your own work on TV!!

FHM GND June Issue' 09 TVC

Finally, I'm really doing work at my internship company. Today, I spent the entire day editing and doing effects for FHM GND June Issue' 09 TVC. I had to complete by today, so as I've heard from my boss.

Nearing the completion of the editing, my boss helped me with some editing work and suggested better ways to make the TVC funky and informative. It was my first time using Mac Finalcut to do my first-time editing work and even using it for some simple effects. By the time it's rendered out to be send to mediacorp publishing department for review and clearance, I was really shagged. I even ate only less than half of the sambal fried rice my colleague helped me to buy back.

And, to my bewilderment, I was informed later that more time was given. Yeah ... I felt like I rushed for nothing and really wondered if the work I did on the TVC was good enough. However, it's still good because that would mean that I've completed at least the basis of the work. Now, I just have to adjust and makes changes to the TVC sequence according to the comments or suggestion after the draft TVC has been reviewed.

Although it was tiring and heart-pounding-cum-rushing, it was quite an achievement for someone like me, a first-timer in video editing. The feeling of satisfactory is what makes the work worth it. =D

Internship: Week 2nd

How time flies... It's now the 2nd Week of Internship. So far, I have been doing cropping and resizing of images with Photoshop. Yeah, it's a little bland ...

Then, there's today, where I was given the task to crop the images for the FHM GND (Girls Next Door)'09 TVC! My morning was spent resizing the images and looking at boobies and bikinis (Yikes!). And, during the late afternoon, I was informed that tomorrow I'll be able to try my hands on editing the FHM GND'09 TVC! I have to think of a way to make it nice and battle-like (for the GNND'09 battle). A little nervous about it. It's all images and it's my first time with a TVC! And, it's gonna be broadcasted nationwide!!

Ganbatte to myself! Yoshi! Ashita, shigoto ganbatte!
