Second Day of Editing

This was on Wednesday, we finally put all our clips together and inserting parts that we were missing in to it such as little scenes that hints to the viewers what is going on. Karina and Melissa continues to do the editing.

As I have expected, Shaun points out to us that we are missing a very important scene to make the whole concept of our film complete. The missing scene is a scene where the girl from the "parallel world" is at the same location as the original girl when they wanted to meet each other.

So in order to take this scene I had to call Melissa to meet at the location on Today, Thursday to film the scene. The change is not much, but it's an important content for the concept of our film.

In my opinion, our film could have been a lot better if we had put more time and devotion in developing the whole sequence. I believe the problem deals with the organizational structure of who does what and the planning was not thoroughly constructed. It's probably my fault for thinking about the story in a complex way.

In the end, our film is about one minute shorter than the minimum requirement but as long as the concept get its point across I'll be quite satisfied.

First Day of Editing

We are mostly starting the editing phase. Since I mostly did the beginning work of the storyboard, I thought it would be best that I let Karina, Melissa, or Kimberly to do the film editing.

I was mostly working on making the video phone sequence while the others work on putting the clips together in iMovie.

I finished the video phone sequence through adobe after effects which was hard at first but I'm getting the hang of it, hopefully ill learn more things for later usage.

We couldn't finish the entire editing today so we let Karina handle the rest of it since she was the only one who has her own Apple Mac laptop. Hope she does well. As for me, I have to try to make the spark effect on the cell-phone when it first "fell" on the ground.

Finalizing the Storyboard

I discuss the twicks or small changes to the storyboard from our last meeting can just created a new outline that is more accurate or clearer. We will pretty much keep how the story is going on the previous storyboard but just change the ending and the way some things will be presented.
I think the important thing to do now is to get the filming of the live action scenes first then deal with the special effects and such later.

Storyboard Drafting and Discussion

Today is the discussion of story-boarding. I had my brother to help out drawing the story-board since he is an animation major. Shona and Shaun also came over to listen to our idea. Both gives the suggestions of how to make the story more about technology having the mind of its own. This gives me a realization that I didn't thought clearly about the story specifically about technology and for this project the technology is suppose to be the main idea.
