DV EDDITING LIKE A PRO (I wish) WITH NO FOOTAGE!

Okay, the model of the toy is finished and its my job to film it and make a slick looking video/advert thing.

but the problem is the storyboard it was to adventuras and not realistic, it was like a fantasy comic book that has been near impossibile to create! its been the stress of my life, but there are only 3 days of it left and i can tell you these three are gonna be the hardest ever! ITs Properly Hurting me this project and im suffering.

I can normaly compleate a project like this in england in like max a week, thats with full on high quility working model and full on sketch dev, boards etc, but here in Hong kong somthing must be wrong with me, its just not clicking!

to tell the truth i did very little for the CPD project the 13 weeks and most of the work was all done in 2 nights! that show what i can do with very little time working very slowly!

I really Really hope this toy project works out to be a very good project, my group mate really really puts in hard work and for this i am greatful, i have also been putting in the time but theres little to show, its really fustrating but as much as i try it just dont work for me here in HK the working style/enviroment.

I just need a deadline, flexible tutorials and my own timetable (quick and fast) and then things will be perfect.

I dont want the world reading this no more, so after reading this foget everything from the last 10mins from your life and then leave this page and come back when i have somthing moe public to say such as Macua trip or disneyland! ETC. give me 2-3 days!

Im gonna leave now so enjoy ur self, wish me luck and send me emails!

Gonna be on hols soon so keep in touch!

CPD PRESENTATION! MOMENT OF TRUTH!


I was the day of the presentation i didnt sleep for maybe sumthing like 40hrs to do the presentation! thats a long time considering i even went to poly two times during that period and stuff! so very tired now but some how i've pasted the tired stage and i spent the day relaxing its now nealy 3am and i have a 8.30am start tommrow, looks like im never gonna get a chance to catch-up on sleep.

anyway i want to bail form tommrows meeting working plan, and go have FUN with a hot chick who invited me to go out with her for the day, but it means that i have to not do my work for the day and the deadlines fast approching! so im in a muddel on what i should do!
HOT GIRL or WORK seems like a easy answer but not when it involes friendships that can be broke due to not doing the work as its a group project!

Anyway to day was the day of judgement!
it was the Creative Product Design presentation! i DID it its finished! it went very good in my opinion! so i am very very happy! so releved, everyone didnt sleep for like 3 days and stuff so i thought the level would be far out of my reach, buti managed to pull out some good work in the lst few hrs before the presentation so very happy!!!!!!

IT WAS GOOD! but i was a little nerves at the start, but that soon faded!

anyway i better get to bed as its approching 4am!

Universitys nearly finished OMG its messed-UP im going to be back soon! OMG i hate the idea! i love HK and wanna stay! but in my head thats still an impossible scenario!

I was in all morning making a toy model 1:1 scale it took the piss took ages and when I was near completion @ 3pm when are tutorial time started, I lost faith and went home to start on CPD so at least one project would go ok.

Managing time has to become a priority as from now on I don’t have any!

Last night I was down and thinking long term was chatting to friend for the best part of 2.30Hrs about where life is going.

Anyway today is another day im stress cos my dealine arnt for another week, its gonna be the longest time I have to my self and I will try to use them wisely.
