10.00am – I came to the office.
I continue working on the destroyed city scene.
Around 1.30pm – I go out to lunch
Around 3.00pm – Mr Micheal come on to my desk to check out my work. He advised me a few thing about the background, and told me to fix the noise on the green screen footage. He then told me that after this scene, I need to work out on another scene. He then asks my co-worker Jason to gave me the new scene. He then explained to Jason in Chinese what he wants and then Jason re-explain to me in Malay.
I copied the scene file onto my ‘pendrive’. I then back on my desk and continue fixing the remaining problem on the destroyed city scene.
Around 4.30pm – I finish working on the destroyed city scene. However the render take an hour to complete. I then search the net for suitable material and ideas for the next scene.
Around 5.00pm – I go the Jason desk to ask him a few things about the next scene that I’ll be working on. For this scene, I need to make scenery of inside an enemy base.  While most of the scene for the movie is destroyed and looked abandon, the enemy base should look perfect with greenery and gardens around the base. Mr Micheal, sitting next to Jason then comes to our conversation. He told me a few details on how the scene should look like. He also told me that I need to make an establishing shot.
Establishing shot is an introductory scene before the actual scene come in, usually to show the audience the location of the character. In this case, I need to show a contrast between the destroyed world, the desert where the base is at, the surrounding of the base where it is much livelier and green, and finally the base of the enemy.
Around 5.30pm – I start to draw a sketch of the enemy location in Photoshop using my graphic tablet.
Around 7.00pm – I show to my co-worker Jason the sketch. He advised me a few things about my sketch. I fix the sketch according to his direction.
Around 7.20pm – Mr Micheal take a look at my sketch. He then asked me to change a few things, such as the height of the cliff where the base will be at. He then dismisses us. I take a note of his words.
Around 7.30pm – We dismiss
