18.07.12 - The fun doesn't stops there

Today was pretty much a normal day for a DVFX student like me. Yes, if you guys haven't known, and are still pretty much stuck in the past of my horribly written forever 14 y/o blog, i'm already 18 as of this year, 2012. And i'm studying in Ngee Ann Poly's DVFX, under the school of FMS. Really love my school, just sayin' (: Anyways, today was pretty much a really long day. Had Design and Typography in the morning and as always, my whole class loves making fun of Mr. Kim's accent and the way he pronounces stuff. Like when he wants to say "Design", he says "Degine" HAHA! oops, just had to say it haha! and other instances when he wanted to say faith's name, he said "face". Oh my, i couldn't stop laughing. So did everybody, especially sufyan. We learnt how to further use After Effects for our final project which was 'moving images'. pretty interesting i must say, learnt how to make like cubes appear as fountains and stuffs and make fans move and how to make the background move etc. Lesson was kinda interesting but it isn't so much with Mr. Kim teaching it. :( I can't really hear what he has to say and he has this thing where he will crescendo and diminuendo every time he talks which can be really annoying too, but funny.. at the same time. lol But sometimes his lesson can really bore me out. Especially when i do not have enough sleep the previous night or stuff like that, and i hate it when it happens. Erwin's Drawing & Perspective class went by pretty quickly actually, which surprised me. His lessons usually seems like as if its been going on for centuries and decades. Its freaking 5 hours of damn drawing from 1pm to 6pm. And it really tires me out to have to sit there and draw and draw and draw, sometimes youtube, facebook, and draw and draw and ... -le faints-. Yeah, something like that. So today for Drawing & Perspective, we all displayed our master copy's and obviously faith owns us all again with this:

It looks like faith took a picture of the original and called it her own. Well.. she did. Just kidding xD She actually drew the effing master's copy. So josh was like Masters art or Master's art? Yeah, you pretty much get my point right? right. But i'm also kinda inspired by Cherylahy's words to not compare with faith's because we all have different artistic backgrounds, so yup! not comparing! Well, she did really well, I bet erwin gave her an 'A'. haha. He reviewed mine and said that i could get an 'A' as well! -Extreme spasms- but he also said that my 'A' wasn't a stable one because i cropped out lots of stuff from the original that was suppose to be in the picture. and the proportion wasn't right as well. He said that the woman i drew had a butt chin. hmm.. Here's my master art:

After displaying our work, we went back and we were suppose to pick a name and we have to draw the person who we picked out. So i don't know whether i'm lucky or not, but i had to partner up with Jeremy Tan haha! and so he drew me first. He took a really long time but the end result was pretty good i guess. His drawing was really good though :) My turn. I completely destroyed Jeremy's face when i started to draw him. It was like a world war on my drawing block. Bombs.. Bombs everywhere.. It was atrocious. But i was glad that Jeremy got to draw me though. We then went on to two point perspective drawing and my reference was a court house or something? Something simple. And i can never get two point perspective right. Even though it's suppose to be real easy. Lesson ended and i headed down to Munch to meet Amanda, Kellie and Lenon. Oh i love my buddies so much! Yeah, so we ate dinner together and celebrated Jesmine's birthday too. haha! I like how she ignored Amanda who was going to surprise her for a cute guy sitting behind Amanda. WIN. But anyways, headed to voices at around 6:34pm or so and apparently we were early. wow. Kellie and i tried out for the Alicia Key's Feat. Usher's duet version of 'If I Ain't Got You' and so did Amanda and Lenon. I think they were forced if i'm not wrong haha. Beatrice who was like a mentor, haha, mentioned that Kellie and i were suited for this duet because our tones kinda matched (Like the strong voices kinda tone) and we were able to get the notes right and blended well. So yeap. Oh yes, as well as the connection too :) So we all went in and Kellie and i were the first pair to perform it in front of Joe. OH GOSH WHY. I didn't do my best of course. I was obviously nervous but Kellie delivered like a boss even though she was sick. Haha, good on you Kellie! Joe said that i needed to tone my voice a little bit down more because i was still slightly over the top. Well, guess his right :\ And i think he said something about how it was the girls and not the guys who go over the top in American Idol and i was like.. American Idol and me.. seems legit haha. Amanda and lenon went next and they sounded like Taylor Swift meets James Morrison or John mayer. You know, sweet and wonderfully cute. HAHA. Yes, i said it. oops! They were kinda like the more peaceful, calm and composed pair while Kellie and I were more of the powerhouse kinda duet pair. We did pretty well overal. We then got to do Mad World and somehow my solo got taken away by Jia Qian o_O what? i don't know what Joe was thinking or wants to do, But if my solo has to be taken away and given to Jia Qian, then so be it, i think his really good too :) Not forgetting to mention that his a great senior to me :) so yup, to summarize it all, it was a really good and refreshing practice. Got home at 12am and still had to do my Storyboard for my Animation -.- Hope you guys enjoy reading this :) XOXO Shaun
