21 January 2010- Interim 2

VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTE TO SELF:
* NEVER EVER BE LATE.
* COME 15 MINUTES BEFORE PRESENTATION
* FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN FAILURE AND THUS, WASTED EFFORT

Still, although I was nearly 10 minutes late, I have to thank the lecturers for giving me a chance. * Phew *
So I showed my lecturers my Gantt chart- from this week until Week 17- and improved animatic (and informed them that I am in the middle of a few important shots).
They said that I still have a lot of editing to do, and they pointed out the main problems lie in the rainy shots and flashback shots.
* For the rainy shots, a variety of dots are needed. Also, the lecturers were kind enough to spare a moment in demonstrating the creation of 3D rain and cartoon rain.
* For the flashback sequence, my lecturers also taught me to add a white foggy mask to create that “reminiscing” effect. Ah, it was half-way the demo that I remembered that they taught “masking” in a previous module. =_=

Well, those were the so-called main edits. It is now back to production, and considering how fast time is ticking, I better complete production quickly…
