2012 SP DMIT San Francisco Internship: California here we come. Week 1

Hello. Okay so today was our fifth day here and I am beginning to pen this down because I am obviously going to forget if i don't. Hahahaha. I'll start from the time we left Singapore till today. I mostly have photos to express myself, as well as a few videos that I took along the way with my iphone. Will get about to editing it soon. So we left Singapore on the 15th October and our friends & loved ones etc came to send us off which was pretty cool AS WE'RE GONE FOR THREE MONTHS. Stopover at Narita before flying to SanFrans. We nearly died in the plane because the ride was extremely torturing and long. Well personally I suffered a terrible experience as I have motion sickness. But finally after 17 hours we arrived safely, & started this adventure :>
Day1:

So Basically the past few days we spent getting used to the place and adapting to the time difference. The last image above was us awake at 5am making ourselves food because we were so hungry and were awake so early. Also, playing basketball and table tennis at night in the cold to burn off the fats from the whole day hahahahahhaahahha.

For me, the thing i love the most about waking up every morning in San Frans would be the breathtaking scenery I wake up to. Instead of boring Singapore buildings, I wake up to such a glorious view that calms my emotions as I awe at it's beauty.

Firedrill & Earthquake drill hahaahahahahahaha

Day 2-4:

So from the second day onwards we actually helped to film a video called Harvestfest for the school. It was pretty fun as it was very different from our normal filming we do in Singapore and to me it felt less stressful and I enjoyed it alot. As compared to Singapore, the weather here played a very important role as to enjoying the whole filming process as it was cool and breezy whereas compared to Singapore it gets so hot and annoying. Also, there were jobs that were delegated for this first assignment and I was in charge of the slate. It was a good experience even though it seems so minor and non important, it kept me on my feet and I realised and learned how important it was to actually record a logsheet so as to make the editing process much easier as compared to not having any logsheet to compare the footages and their takes. Over the past few days I have also learned alot as well as the simplest things like tying a cable that makes life easier for us when we use them.

We did the set design for this set which was pretty cool because we learned the lighting and all to create different night and day scenes.

Here are some photos of what we did I have so many photos it is impossible to load them. Also, Nathan is the cutest hahahahhahahaahahaha.

Anyway this morning I got the chance to be a camera man for a bit. Lol. I never actually used the ex3 or any other camera foreal before so it was pretty amazing & legendary haaahahahahahaahha. I would like to learn more about it during this three months too.
