Constructing Kevin

Coming near the Finals. Look how far we have come! What do you see?

A website that needs repair. How can we upload it if it is not good? All lies in Aldric's hands now.

Even though it is impossible to get into Grand Finals (judging by our looks and chances) we must try to achieve A.

Project's Day Semi-finals

Constructing Kevin

Today was the semi-finals, and I was so nervous when we knew we were going to be the next group to present. (I was afraid that I might screw up, by speaking too softly or something) One of the judges commented that we should have used the camera at the media resource center, so that our film quality would be better. Another thing was that our trailer might not have had the impact it was supposed to give, as the sound for the computer did not work. One of the judges also commented that we dwelled too much on why we decided not to use claymation, which got me quite worried, but think we might just pull through.

Because i knoe most of you guys are selfish slackers who probably wait for me to do most of the things, and most don't bother to check the blog, this will show to Ms Huang how committed you guys are.

Aldric, I asked for a better website for weeks, the whole of June in fact. I expect the font and images to be uploaded. If you don't have the photos, that is not an excuse as you could have called me this week to send it to you. If you had no time that is also no excuse as home learning week should give you enough time.

We will meet Ms Huang on thurs when sch reopens to show the Finished video. That's right. FINISHED.

Since your house seems to be our hosting area, Jun Weng make the skeletons. Make them more flexible and durable. We can't film them with stick arms and breakable heads.

I and Oon will work on directing the film and organising filming.

TASKS:
WEBSITE- WITH PHOTOS AND UPDATED LOOK- ALDRIC BEK
SKELETONS, BASIC PROPS- LIM JUN WENG
FILMING, DIRECTING- VALEN, RYAN
EFFECTS- NOT CHOSEN, BUT PROBABLY ME AND ALDRIC.

We need someone to provide a better camera as I had learnt from my experience with the Shakespeare project that sound quality was scratchy in all recordings. I expect one of you to volunteer a GOOD camera for use.

Also, my camera will be used to take photos for the site, if needed. Its primary function will be showing Ms Huang what you guys do during meetings, (me included of course).

Tuesday- Effects, editing. We will make the sound file needed for the first scene and edit the introduction. Currently, aldric put us as Valen, Ryan, Aldric , FISH. And the intro looks bad. So we need to edit it. IF we can get a better camera we will refilm first scene.

look forward to sacrificing all you free time left. we need to finish the website and video version 1 3 days before 16 july, which is semifinal. That means we have 5 days to it, maybe if we include Sundays 6. Actually, if we could film on Sunday, Jun Weng, Your mother can help in filming to be , well, a actual FEMALE mother. Aldric sounds like Prince Charles with flu in the video.

PLEASE RESPOND.

I don't want to sound like a Ting Yit in addressing you guys, so I will be kind of quick.

Before you think I'm a screwup for having no meetings, ask yourselves this: Have YOU - Not Russell - YOU done anything for the project?

Due to the tight timeframe we have left we will be having 3 meetings next week. I beseech you to tell me when you are free. How can I contact you guys if you guys do not check the blog?

Project Updates

Constructing Kevin

I don't know whether any of you irresponsible bums have been checking this blog, but here's a project update I hope you'll read.

Due to our poor commitment schedules and our sucky animation skills, part of the animated film will be acted out instead. Sort of like a superimposement of claymation and drama to form one film.

There were originally meetings scheduled this week, but I had a fever for 4 DAYS...so I cancelled all of them.
The starting song of our video will be "The Siren", a free for use song from Newgrounds chosen due to its peaceful start, sort of dreamy feeling. It is available here:

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/22906

Meetings with Ms Huang: Probably after 18 June, since Aldric and I have ATC camp. Jun Weng, we need to know when your holiday is.

Meeting probably at school or at JW's house. For the drama we might pull in Ms Huang for the role of Kevin's teacher. Roles to be finalised.

Please indicate in the CBox to show that you have read this message. Thank you.

Any suggestions please leave them here.

Postscript: I might not be going for ATC due to my high fever. However, that does not mean that we can hold full meetings. In the case that this does happen, feel free to call me for any inquiries.

PS.PS. PLEASE read and post something for once guys. So far only Ryan has contacted me abt meetings. I have taken the initiative to call JW, but it's up to Aldric. Guys please post your schedule for the rest of June so I can plan meetings better.

Aldric raised a good point to me today. Where will the sound effects for the video come from?

Either we find music pieces to use, or we might have to compose our own, whether recorded or using a computer.
