Day30 27/02/08

The day started off with the criteria of finishing Raj's part on 3D animation.

Its about time that we film Raj, he's the last that we have yet to film. like what a cinematographer would usually do, I design the set using whatever Raj have got. I must say, he really got a lot of toys, kind of like me when I was a kid. Then moving on to the lightings & composition of the shot, Man, I sure love doing all those.

Greg again was just being himself, tying to lure Raj's attention away or rather, make him laugh, that guy is really one heck of an annoying person sometimes, we were like being serious and he was making fun out of it. It didn't really matter because Raj was not really affected, ok, maybe he was a little affected.

The process of shooting wasn't as easy as we expected it to be. We had serveral takes for some shots as it was not what we intended it to be. An example would be the last scene whereby Raj was supposed to say "You may ask me, why spend so much time on it? I would say, why not?" Greg didn't agree with the last sentence, he said didn't make sense. He said that it was confusing, I said it was film lingo. Well we finally agreed on sticking to that line for I thought that it would really set an impression. It kind of like my style to set people thinking for every module so that it would be interesting and interactive. To put it bluntly, it done so to either make the audience stay or prevent sleepers. The short discussion proved to be beneficial for it shows that everyone in the group is thinking, at least thats what I feel.

The final scene would be done with an animated lamp that Raj is going to create. I think that he is really working hard on this subject. Its not easy to create something like that. I learnt that in animation funadamentals. Let's just wait for the final piece to be done and appreciate the effort we put in...
