Cumulative log - Thursday 13th May 2010

I was given an off yesterday by Mr Micheal and Ms Winny (Wednesday 12/5/2010)



Yesterday around 10.00pm, Ms Winny SMS me telling that they will only arrive to the office at 11.00am today.

11.00am – I arrive at the office. I continue working on the abandon city background. Yesterday I’ve found a picture of back alley, and I thought it will be a great idea to do place the character on there. I assemble the elements piece by piece.

2.00pm – I go out to lunch with my friend Jason and Khabi

About 2.45pm – we’ve back to the office. Before lunch I’ve already imported the background that I made in Photoshop onto After effects. I’ve then setting up the green screen footage and place it on the scene.

About 4.00pm – Mr Micheal come to Khabi’s PC and ask him to take a look of a DVD. He loaded the DVD and plays it. It was a sample portfolio DVD of Chinese Special Effect company, named Big Fatt. The company assists quite a number of Chinese movies; one that I knew was the Storm Riders. It shows a scene of the movie, and then it shows the effects breakdown of the scene in details. Matte painting, 3D effects and blue screens are used altogether in most scene. It was a spectacular to see that the matte painting they used was flawless, we can’t see it until they shows us the breakdown.

About 4.45pm – The shows done. We continue to work.

About 5.00pm – Mr Micheal take a look on my work. He tolds me that the taller building at the back seems okay, but the back alley seem unmatched with those building theme, and asks me to change it. It’s not that he disagree with the back alley elements, he says that the back alley seems too real while others looks much fantasy. Mr Micheal keep telling me that my background should look more fantasy than realistic. He then told me that he will be searching for samples to show me what he is expecting. About 10 minutes later, he calls me to his office, showing the sample picture from the net on his monitor.

I analyze the picture carefully while Mr Micheal explains to me the details of what exactly wrong with my work. After that I came back to my desk and start revamps my work again. I back to the original Photoshop files again.

About 7.30pm – We dismissed.
