Toy Story 3 !!!

I went to watch Toy Story 3 with friends. It was quite an enjoyable movie with a happy ending. The 3D wasn't really that popping though but oh well.

We also had lunch at JoJo's. First time going there. The food was pricey but definitely fantastic! The service we got was great too~They were helpful and friendly.

Entree: Turkish bread with vinegar dip

Does this pic really need explaining?
lol a prawn pizza

Chicken Noodle soup

MINE! MINE! MINE!
BBQ Thai Chicken =3


That chicken was seasoned so good. But the salad it came with was sour...not sure if that was meant to be but hmmz..and the noodles were cold ~

After eating we went to watch the movie since it started at 2pm.

Then we split up our own ways. I did a lil bit of shopping. AGAIN.
I bought a new scarf that has an animal print on it ^^,

BBQ w/ a friend's family~!

Having the day off work gave me the opportunity to go and have a BBQ with my friend and her family as a celebration for her achieving her certificate III in hairdressing =3

I didn't think it would be packed on a Sunday but hey I was wrong~
Sunday turns out to be family day !

A BBQ is a BBQ. Nothing to say there.
Except I was told to slice the two big chunks of watermelon =__=
That was a mighty task in itself. Thankfully I had help with both of them.

Yeah so after the BBQ me, my friend and her bf went to the musuem. BOTH OF THEM.

At the GOMA Musuem they had the Ron Mueck exhibition. Unfortunately we didn't go in as it turns out you had to buy tickets to enter the exhibit. So we just looked around~


This cute little bunny was at the entrance~

The first time I saw that bunny on someone's facebook I just thought it looked familiar. Then I realised it reminded of this photo...







That photo is pretty old but still!












dead bunny xD







So that's that.

My project assessments~

Now have been uploaded on my vimeo account.
Both projects used Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro.

First project~
Mirror, Mirror

No tutorial was based on for this project.
I've been concentrating on this project for ages! Like, over a month, editing the sequence and working on the after effect scenes.
Kept having to redo storyboards, did animatics and doing test runs.
I had so much help with this from my teachers, in particular a teacher who actually graduated from Film School so he knew what he was doing =D

AE:
- comping the 'evil' girl in the mirror to make it as the reflection
- glow jumping up and down on the mirror
- glow around the hand coming out of the mirror and making it pulsate
- ripple on the mirror as the hand/arm was coming out
- lens flare and some other light preset was used to create that big flash of light


Second project~
Soft Drink, Anyone?


Second project was based on a tutorial on videocopilot.net, in particular this one: 88. Disintegration

The editing (Premiere Pro) for this video was really easy but the After Effects was a different story. I remember doing that damn tutorial 3 times until I got it right. Actually, even now, I'm not fully satisfied with it but I'm content with what I've done. I know the smoke at the end could definitely be fixed.
