AEDF1008 Life

Wow... oh my goodness. It's been such a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time since I last updated my blog. So sorry people... my bad. My bad. And so... here's my life.

Since the last time I updated my blog it was about E.P.K. - Electronic Press Kit and Web Design. I did well in both subjects. EPK was really a stressful moment... I had to be awake for 24hours 3 days straight. The following day, I snored in school. So embarassing but yea, I did. My EPK was about the dance crew in S'pore, Styles From Beyond. They're quite cool and really good in what they were doing. They specialized in hip hop and breakdancing so it was really a good experience for me to capture the fascinating choreograph of hip hop and break dancing at the same time. It's was quite a tough task being a D.O.P. in the group because the cameraworks were still new and fresh but after much much much practices I did fairly well with the JVC semi-pro HD camera. The whole experience made me see things differently like how photographers get their shots right at the moment. I'm still learning and admit that I am still new in this field. This is way out of my league but I'm gonna try harder.

Other than that, I did learn softwares like Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro. Both were awesome editing softwares and I'm really proud of my work and final production but still appreciation and acknowledgement towards my team, we are able to complete it in time and professionally.

Then, after we had our EPK. We've got like less than a month to finish our very last audio project. I hurried my recording and stuff like that less than a week. Getting everything all nice and getting it all over and done with. Mixing the music... mixing and mixing again. I did my project all over again 6 times... and my friend adviced me to stop at no.6 because I've overmixed in a sense that I've got no direction musically. Therefore, I pressed on getting my reference tracks right, getting the tone right, getting the timing right, getting the music sound right. Mastered the mix but wasn't a great one that I'm proud of because it's a tough process and I'm not really good at it. So, I took my chances trying my best. Presented it on the first day of presentation. I was the first one... I was really nervous simply because it's my FINALS! I was afraid that I would be late for my presentation so I over-night at my friend's place instead. Couldn't sleep until the last 3 hours.

After that, I showed my case presented it really well as my senior commented it was a show of confidence in my presentation. I was sure of my procedures and steps into getting the tone I wanted. One senior said it was inspirational, lecturers said it was good and great. I was really excited and jumping for joy when it's all done. *relief*

Here comes the saddest part of my life journey with my batch of friends. All of them. Most got to leave for their home country, Indonesia, Malaysia, India. I felt that time passes really fast and hopefully I would get a chance to work with them again one day. I will never forget AEDF1008. Audio Gangsterz!

We had our farewell dinner... shisha session... beer session... it was all fun and we were laughing all the way... the hardest part is to bid farewell.

AEDF1008 'the best batch in SAE S'pore' We've set the standard and hopefully it would be continued on.

Now I'm heading back to Malaysia and will be back in S'pore for degree.

God bless.

Busy Lifestyle Not For Me

Sorry guys for the late posting of my life updates in Singapore. It's hard to keep up with the Joneses. Currently, I'm still alive and I'm still kicking @$$ as usual. Hard core dude like me will never DIE!!! hahahaaa... maybe almost but NEVER!

I've been deadly busy with nothing and boredom just kidding. I've been busy with my assignment that is E.P.K.(will not reveal). And it's been draining my strength more and more each day as I am not that healthy as usual. Caught a cold recently and flu at the same time couldn't recover so soon even though I've taken medication which made me drowsy and dizzy at times (dang those pills). Seriously, I could not find the time to update this blog.

Anyways, lately many matters popped up and some just bothered me like crazy some just buzzzzz around my head and others just filling up my Recycled Bin. Besides that, I had great lessons from good lecturers about video capturing. Methods to use a video camera, tripods, lightings etc. It's been a good experience. However, the lecturer was admitted to hospital due to slipped disc problem and I wish the quick recovery for him.

Other than that, I've done my assignment and submitted it. Web design. It took me like 5 mins to design. The other 3 hours is filling the details and linking up the hyperlinks. It's way tooooooooooooooo simple and the design is way toooooooooooooooo simpe as well. Just a preview of my homepage.

Now I'm doing film making so wish me all the best. Hope that I would go through this once and for all. I've been up in wee hours lately just to complete proposals and finalising storyboards timeline etc. So here we go again.

Til next time. Take care. God bless!
