Oh Em Gee.
Hi POD BLOG!! It's been so long!!!
Not that I'd like to see you but I need to rant so, too bad!
Okay so POD II is doing an "IMAGINA" film in collaboration with CASS students & Mr Kee Li Tian.
The initial plan was for us to focus on Music(litian) and SFX(me) respectively. Apparently the first draft of the video was really unworkable with so we had to wait for the 2nd draft which was given to us only 2 weeks ago.
I've done my spotting notes already and have just started to begin working on the SFX for the film. Apparently the film is pretty b** in my opinion. The acting isn't really what I expected it to be, now that I've seen it quite a number of times. Also the film is supposedly "music driven" where as SFX is supposed to support the music, supporting the story instead of the other way around.
So for PODsake I will try my best to do up the SFX for the film by itself, irregardless of music, or directors cue's just for POD II because I wanna try to improve on my MUMI skillset as well as REMT(mixing) for video (if it can be counted).
PROBLEMS:
Bad acting aside, the main issue is going to be the lack of dialogue for me to make it sound real. Because this film is based on a speech made by a graduating student, the student's speech is on-going throughout the film and the director wanted it that way, and therefore any other scene that is going on-screen has 0, no, takde, 没有 dialogue. So therefore if I were to do the foley, there would be nothing coming out of the actor's mouths and I foresee it to be very, very awkward during (most)scenes.
HOW?
Going to school tomorrow to consult Gerald about how awkward its going to be. Pray that it all turns out fine. *Fingers Crossed*
Thats it for now. What a chunky update. See you tomorrow!
Spanks.
