Final post / day 34

FINAL POST OF BLOG. Much or less finished. Currently now at 12.25pm handing up at 3pm we are left with our cd cover and we are pretty much finished. That's about it. Have a nice day. MOIP was fun. Kind of, oh well. Life is life. Tomorrow is presentation day. Hope everything goes well. Heh. Oh well. Thank you for looking at the posts.

Ok, now it's 2:36pm. We are still rendering, over the past hour or so. Something is probably wrong with it and now we are left to wait and stare at the bar that is growing agonizing slow. Think we encoded something wrong. Sound effects not in yet because we are exporting from Adobe After Effects. So, yea. We are pretty much in panic mode but we cannot do anything about it. Team almost quarreled because of it. Still, we know each other. Quarreling is not something we do and should adhere to. Pent up emotions just released in an instant. But, hey. It's better to end the project in harmony than in a rift. Never know who you got to work with next time in the future.

4:24pm. Flim is done encoding. Got to start on sound effects soon. Late submission already. Had some problems with animation too. The clip's animation disappeared. Will encode the original again in a different format. Let's hope it works and able to hand in before 6pm.

6pm. DONE. Handed in to General Office! Late, we are late, at least our last part for sound effects and some stuff are done with pride and not anyhow inserted. Since we are late, at least we hand in the best effort we can put in. Always wonder why we cannot do that from the start. We learnt our lesson this time round. Seriously. There is no excuse.

At least we are done. MOIP is finished. Team got together again. Earlier emotions of frustration not in sight. That's how it should be right? Learn the lesson but not damage the relationships.

I would count ourself as pretty lucky. Certainly from news I heard from other groups and stuff. Loads of things. Negative mostly. This project is supposed to promote teamwork and not talking behind their backs? Oh well. Human nature is just what it is. Wait till they work and get slammed by their bosses and would start blaming their teammates. What disgrace and lack of courtesy. Learn to step back when two leaders are in a group. One has to lead the other to take a more humble approach to say the least. At least that was what our group has in.

We all just have one thing in common in our group. TME MANAGEMENT IS POOR. We learnt that the hard way. But no hard feelings to each other. We all are to blame and we all know it well.
Let us mature and grow from this experience good or bad to take through to our future projects.

Still, I cannot get over how some team treat their teammates. At least, act professionally. Enough.

It is to the end of a great semester, I thank everyone who has went along with us and suffered and joyed with us. I thank all the lecturers for their great insight and advice with sometimes choice words to wake us up.

But most of all, Thank you, my team mates for not giving each other a whole lot of hard time doing the work we are given and not complaining about a LOT of things. But encouraging me and helping me learn. Thanks for cooperating every single time to my tardiness and sometimes bad time management, Vice Versa (:
May I hope to work with you guys again if a chance arises. It was great working with you guys although we have bad days. Cheers.

Nevertheless. Thank you, the readers for reading the posts that we posted together. We hope you learnt something throughout our filming process and blog that we posted. We hope you take away from here something that is meaningful for you in the future. Again, thank you for reading our posts.

We barraged a huge number of posts in a few hours. We done it (the posts), but we did not post. We had bad time management. No more excuses. So, I apologize for it. I take blame.

We may not get fantastic grades for our final video, but the most important thing is not about the grades is it. It's about what we learn from the process.

Our lecturer Amanda, you have been great. We thank you for being teacher in charge of our MOIP and able to tolerate people like me. Although your words can be piercing at times, I deserved it.

Finally, to round it off, everybody that is involved in the process of our film or in others, we thank you for giving your time away to help us do our projects and try to get a better grade.

Have a nice holiday to enjoy, and most importantly, have a nice day every single day (:
