one of the smoother video i've seen.and there are a lot of instances where the "reindra shots" are used. wonder how they do it.check them out.

pretty decent one that i've seen.this coy does all the pre wedding mtvs style tt we have been talkin about,.

new ideas:

1.come up with different envelopes to choose from.inside the envelopes are different games or different forfeit.

2.back to the animation idea i'm thinking it'll be inteeresting if we can sit down with the couple to talk about how they met and stuff, so that there'll b a higher chance of coming up with something different.ask their friends and stuff.everybody surely have their most interestin and different story, or i hope

3.crazy idea but do u think ppl will be interested to document down funerals?

some research findings

1.http://www.yappiesproduction.com/

got video preview...one thing i realise is that wedding video really shake like siao(esp closeup), reason being videographers prolly too lazy to use tripod. monopod might b a solution, either that or like wat george says we can buy a counter balance to stabilise the camcorder.

things to look into: find out abt the counter balance.

wedding animation wohoho...


i realise that the standard is really pretty sad in yappiesproduction even thou they have malay, christian and chinese weddings to show that they are pretty experience.i tot we can sub out some of the work to bpghs students.think they are more motivated to do a better job than yappies.

the thing about weddings nowadays is that it too procedural i feel.couples sian,videographers sian even those ppl attending weddin dinner also sian.couples jus go thru the motion and it's pretty sad.even the most interesting part on coming up with "exotic food" to tekan the brudders is so sad.so that's a problem we gotta solve.i tot it'll be interesting if we can come up with a sample of "exotic food" for wedding couples to choose from.and of cos we can look into wedding planning also, coming up with exotic weddings like reverse bungee jumping wedding.and i heard from julia lee from bpghs that her wedding is organised in zoological gardens, and there's a range of themes for her to choose, like elephant rides blah blah blah.i tot we can start thinkin of interesting scripts for weddings.

some updates

news from mr lim...

mr ling(a calligraphy artist in spore used to teach in acs) says our(bpghs) video program is good, and he has gone back to teaching in pasir ris secondary.lim says we might want to link up with him to design some video courses for pasir ris sec students?

setting up the website

i think for a start let's set up a blog to showcase our portfolio thought that might be sufficient for the time being.but i cant do it myself.a lot of work to be done like gathering all the data and stuff.

301207

Met up with henry in burger king in causeway.got some insights into the animation scene in spore.dint really have much direction where we are goin i find.but moses suggests that we get the website running and kicking first.one thing that he said which i find very impt:
one of his army friend did a flash animation for a wedding assignment and when showcased durin the wedding dinner itself it was warmly received that he got a lot of contacts asking him for similar services subsequently.
i thought prolly we can go into the flash thingy.try out.

some things that i find urgent and needs to be done asap:
1.get the website with our portfolio up
2.do some research into the wedding videography scene in spore
3.we need to take minutes for our every meeting because random jokes and ideas discussed might turn out valuable
