Shidio Productions Movie Report

We did it!!! We completed a movie animatic in 7 days!!! Just 4 days of shooting, not bathing for 4 days plus last minute editing equals VERY FIRST SHIDIO MOVIE.................... SPLIT!

After watching a few of our classmates' movies we were somehow doubtful and at the same time relieved by the level of our competitors (Yeah yeah... that's not the right way). Anyway, when our movie finally played... this is what happened:

-Cal covered his face in shame
-JT hid under his hoody in shame
-"ASHLEI!!! You should've killed me yesterday!" said I to Ashlei
-Ashlei started laughing
-Cal started laughing
-JT started laughing
-Ben started laughing
-I started laughing... yes... the movie was damn funny to ourselves but our classmates were watching it intently
-I walked out of the auditorium. Rather shave my head bald than to watch in shame
-By the end of the movie, JT revealed his face from under his hoodie "Eh? Where'd the director go?"

And then of course after the movie we had--- THE DREADED CRITIQUE SESSION!!!

Classmate 1: I like that video camera part
Classmate 2: Your lighting seems abit weird... I dunno... the colour.... and blablabla

LECTURER SAID:

- Your folio is quite well done (10 POINTS FOR PRODUCER!!!)
- Directing is good. 180 degree rule well taken care of. (10 POINTS FOR DIRECTOR!!!)
- Lighting is also good actually. The mood is very appropriate you can almost feel it (10 POINTS FOR ART DIRECTOR AND CO.EDITORS!!!)
- Editing is good. The timing is excellent for the voices and all (10 POINTS FOR EDITOR!!!)
- Your main character is very good. Your actors and actresses are very good. I can feel that they are natural (10 POINTS FOR ACTORS & ACTRESSES!!!)
- Sounds effect is also good (10 POINTS FOR SOUND DIRECTOR AND EDITOR!!!)
- Your framing is also very good (10 POINTS FOR CAMERAMAN & DIRECTOR!!!)
- Storyboard is nicely done compared to other groups (10 POINTS FOR DIRECTOR & ART DIRECTOR!!! No need to redo entire storyboard like others!!! Woohoo!!!)
-"Class... please take note of this group's technical aspects. Everyone please I want you to look into this group's movie"

At the end of the class we had classmates asking for a copy of our movie. RM49.99 each copy yah!

Ah... happiness. We should now have a wrap-up party. Was hoping we wouldn't disappoint you other Shidios. Anyway... I would like to thank and congratulate the crew for a job well done plus a very very VERY BIG THANK YOU to the actors and actresses who dedicated their time for our movie especially Samantha, Chrystal & James. You three are amazing!!! So busy yet willing to sacrifice sleep and hell lots of time for our shootings WITHOUT ANY COMPLAINTS.


Big congratulations to Ashlei for being such an awesome producer!!! No one could've done it better. Everything still went on eventhough our producer got sick.

Kudos to Ben for the awesome last minute editing. There could have been no better editor! Also, many thanks for being an excellent co. director.

Three thumbs up to JT for the photoshop work and lighting though we'll need to acquire more advanced lighting equipment to unleash your full potential. Also, many thanks for finishing the storyboard.

Good job Mr. Cal Chan as cameraman. Being a cameraman is damn tiring. Especially when you have to listen to the director babbling about how the composition is not right all the time then reshoot everything all over again.

Although we never had many meetings involving Yee Jenn, but the effort in finding the sound effects were very much appreciated! Good job!

Lastly as director, I'd like to apologise for anything I said wrong that made you mm song/pissed you off. Thousand apologies...

I'm still wondering whether Peter Jackson laughed at Lord of the Rings during its premier.
