WEDNESDAY - 17.10.12

I just decided to change the font of my date title since i thought it looked cooler that way XD

Today marks the first time i've ever stepped into the Maya lab. And i'm proud of it.

 

You can't really see the lab, but it looks awesome as hell

The Maya lab was like an office where everyone had their own cubicles. Except for some like me, i take up one whole space >:D And each cubicle had like two screens, so you could use Twitter on one screen, while using Maya on the other. But that won't work because at the speed that Graham talks at, if you miss 1 second of what he's saying, you're gone. Anyways, Mr. Kim was our lecturer for our first lesson and yay! So happy to see him again! His smile and his energy just brings me joy! He showed us lots of what Visual Effects is and all that, He showed us how Spider Man (the latest one) was made like through CG and all that. Wow, through his lesson, i realized how much of a lie my life was while i was watching all the 3D movies before coming into DVFX. Shit just got real. People were even made using CG in some scenes which was pretty much a mind blowing kinda thing. But i've got to do this sometime soon in year 3. Shit. 

After Mr. Kim's lesson, it was Graham's lesson which was called 'Organic Modelling' OR, MAYA. -Que scary music in- Yep! This is where all the pain starts. It's also the start of the many long sleepless nights that are about to come. Long nights where i might have to camp in. Stay over if the auntie doesn't catches me and all that. But then again, it makes it much more convenient to come to school. Oh wait, i don't have to if i were to camp in the lab XD
Graham's teaching speed was worse off than Mdm Soo's teaching speed when she was teaching me POA back in sec 3. If that was torture, then welcome to Graham's world.. 
Like i said, if you don't pay attention to what Graham is teaching, you're gone. And then you'll have to keep asking him. So it's best to sleep real early the night before. I'm pretty much doomed aren't i? Yep!

Graham made us do a dice for today's Maya lesson and we had to follow his every step which is pretty exhausting. Don't worry, i know it just gets worse from here. A few of my classmates and i were pretty lost along the way and had to ask him to guide us back. I think i was the only student who asked him for the most help. I really am a slow learner :( He told us to go back and watch the tutorial he showed us today and then we have to make the same dice in 5 minutes next week. ZOMG. And up til' today, i haven't even started on his tutorials yet. It's gonna be hard i tell ya. 

Class ended at 6pm sharp and i had to rush down for Voice's Music Box rehearsals. My time slot was at 6:30pm so i didn't had time to eat dinner. Once i got in the Music Box, we had to do If I Ain't Got You immediately. We wasted about 20 minutes because some people weren't there yet. My voice wasn't warmed up at all so i sounded like a total disaster. Not a beautiful disaster, a horrible one. Everyone was just moving so quickly, most of us didn't even had the time to think properly. We, at that point in time, didn't know how to come in and we were pretty messy, so Beatrice had to keep making us repeat the beginning over and over again. After our slot, we went out to practice If I Ain't Got You and only that because Nicole wasn't there today, so the girls couldn't do their alternating solos for Price Tag. 

When we had time to ourselves, we all sat at the stairs outside Music Box and practiced a little of If I Ain't Got You. Tension kinda rose when we were there, i don't really knew what happened, but i could feel it.. The tension and pressure of Prelude. Jesmine left early because we were only doing If I Ain't Got You and not Price Tag and she didn't want to interfere.. Which i don't see how she's interfering, but she left early and we just continued jamming If I Ain't Got You. 

After the rehearsals in Music Box ended, Shynn, Kellie, Phoebe, KC, Laila and i went up with the rest, but to practice the simple version of Price Tag for Friday's Art's Fiesta performance. Went home after that and i didn't like how i had to wake up the next day for lesson's at 9am. Sleep seemed so short :X
