2012 SP DMIT San Francisco Internship

OHHHH HAYYYYYY FRIENDDDDSSSSS.

Ace da cakes here to tell you about mah LyF3 (my life) here in b-e-a-u-tifooolllllllll San Francisco!
Cornerstone Academy is located on top of a hill ergo its extremely windy and chilly and it can really get quite cold sometimes! i dont take that many pictures soooo................ yeaahhhhh, i'll try to take more pictures so i'll be more interesting for whoever you are reading mah blog post yo.

stopped at narita! my home. i'll be back, tokyo.

My role for Harvestfest was assistant director. I basically helped Harry, the director, around with keeping up with the shots and gave suggestions occasionally. As I was the director for my own film for FYP, I saw how directors in real industries and companies work and it was definitely an eye opener as they worked very differently from how my crew and I worked. Production here is really enjoyable, compared to productions I have done back in Singapore for school or for external clients, I realllyyyyyyy think it has to do with the awesome chilly weather. No kidding. The crew doesn’t get agitated or tired (or smelly or sweaty) so the whole filming period is very funnnn and enjoyable! I really wanna work more with cameras for the next production as I absolutely love the EX1 and EX3 and i just wanna be a better DOP or cam op!

cam asst.!

sound!

slate gurl on mtv.

oh hey! a familiar face!

we moved the boom all da way to the other side of the school.

I also learnt how to work with kids. O_O ok not really work with them, I guess you could say working around with them. Wow. It is difficult. They get tired after a few takes and their attention span is s h o r t. but who can blame them right, they are just KIDS. Guess that’s something I gotta learn. Working with kids.

We learnt how to coil cables and wires the correct way and I personally feel that it is a useful skill that will definitely be useful in the long run. It may sound simple but Harry had to teach and demonstrate it to use over and over and over again!

We’re done with filming around so now its time for post! Larry is the editor and im the vfx artist. We shot against the green screen and Harry requested some mograph so I guess its time After Effects and I get acquainted once again. Well hello there after effects, it has been a long time and I’ve missed you, lets work well together so please don’t crash on me. ( I have no idea why I love talking to computer softwares. I hate you Maya2012.)

Well then, other than work, we went up to Twin peaks, ate awesome burritos, took the train, bus and cable car downtown Union Square and shoppppeeeeddddddddd!
