Monday 12th May

Hello. Today is our StoPP presentation. I rushed my storyboard like mad the previous night. Lack of sleep caused me to skip my morning class again. =/ Thats very bad, but i really can't get up. I was THAT tired.

My storyboard was not very clear and distinct. So it looks very different and very half-done compared to Rachael's one. Hers is damn good I swear. 

We came to school slightly earlier to scan my part of storyboard into the computer. They were doing powerpoint slides for the presentations. 

We were the second to present.

Our idea for this project is more of morphing. 

Something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx9FXaqnoLk (Clickk click)

Basically our idea is to portray directly the story in the song. And instead of using cuts and other transitions, we decided to make it continuous and use the morphing technique. 

However, Ronald stated that we shouldn't have translate directly from the song and that he is not sure if our idea will work out =/ 

But we explained that most country songs tells a story in their music video. So we want to do the same as well. However we uses a more different approach (morphing) to tell the story.

I thought our idea was quite good actually. Cause it is different.

But due to our lack of research, we showed holes in our storyboard.Trying so hard to prove our point of it being a country songs, our settings and furniture are all modern ones. Ronald noticed that and point it out to us. He also stated that we should show character design and stuff.

After our presentation, we decided to stick to our idea (after consulting Ronald) but further improve it. I'm gonna do on environment design and Rae is on character. Joel will be doing all the research and stuffs while yanping and raymond will be doing the animatics.

Yay, 3 more days. Go gogogo!
