dvd studio pro sux

i have no idea why i cjust cant finish my building for the dvd.

created a graduation dvd with all menus and videos but then i just cant finialise the building structure. is really very annoying cos if not successful, then i cant burn on the dvd and also means that all my hard wrk will go down the drain. this is really not good...

had tried many many many times but still cant work. tried different ways of testing also not working. haven been sleeping recently. feel so tired

today went to surfers with taro, esther and sae. danny, and marvin were also here. then still have thomas, jaslyn and weng. today like ipsiwch excurtion to gold coast sia. anyway had a good time with them. went to the beach and met up with my "da jie". but anyway, the main purpose of today's trip to surfers is because got oakley sales at half price. hm... is very tempting and yes... i did uy one... dun ask how much but is half price lah...

now still waiting for my render... so hungry and sleepy now... not sure if i wanna go home for a while to eat something and then come back. think just wait for a while more for my rendering bah...

regular update

well... is about time to update the blog i guess...

currently i am still in uni, haven sleep yet, can say tired but also can say not tired. now cant do anything cos have to wait for a few more hours before i can get the photos from someone. after that i will have to work on the interface of the graduation dvd. have been working on the dvd this few days and all i did was to copy and paste names into the interface and then chase around for other people's demo reels and their details. feeling a bit sian sia... friday have to give to the boss so everything have to be sui sui for him to see. hope i can get the dvd out asap.

had motion capture few days ago, really cant remember how many days ago cos had been working non-stop and no sleep so dunno past how many days liao. sounds pathetic but then that's the life of a designer. anyway the main point is about the motion capture. well, i actually had experienced before during my poly times and now what school is just planning to teach next semester. so they had people to come to teach the process. when the person was teaching, i was filming cos we need to do a teaching video but at the same time i was also recalling all the things that i was being taught last time. l-frame, calibration and blah blah blah...

was filling up the time sheet for my industriy practice and realised that i already clocked for 164 hours and still need 36 more hours to fulfill the criteria. initially i still scare i cant reach the target but now i think i scare i over work sia.

thinking of going for another haircut next week cos hair is pretty long and have to spend time to style. but then where got time to go cut hair? dun even have time to sleep...

anyway this semester also finishing soon, really quite fast and i will need to concentrate on the graduation show and hope during the show, i could get some interview appointments from the industry people.

hm... one thing now still worries me is the history class cos need to come out with an essay soon. the essay had to show depth of research and had to have at least 10 references, really in my heart i was like "are you kidding?" is really cazy lor. got pressure cos have to prepare a small presentation by extracting some of the info from the essay. then after that still have to study for a final test. so far that course only had a test and had 35/40 which i am still quite happy about it.

now have to try and keep myself from sleeping cos i wanna get the photos asap so that can continue with the dvd. dun like the feeling of waiting and do nothing. other people in this lab had fallen alseep either lying on the table or used 3 chairs as bed. so strange, cos even holiday still got people stay overnight to do work.

ok... that's enough of the update.

心里的话

为什么世上就是有些人会信口开河？我累了，再也不相信你的话了。我也感到灰心了。

别在惹我生气了。。。

recently weather: hot with strong wind... what's wrong sia...

had been feeling angry on a few occasions. firstly, ganna dua by someone, dvd quality sux big time and also inconsiderate people.

was really quite pissed off when i was being dua. i mean i was tired liao but yet walked all the way for u to uni cos i made a promise. then i had to walk another 40min back home. but then angry also no use, as if if the more angry i get, i wun get dua.

was quite excited on the dvd assignment initially but then as i do on, i realised that first, the software is so primitive and a lot of functions are not doable. then is the video compression. have to waiti for the whole night just to re-compress the video. lastly is the final quality that was being output. i cant believe it cos the quality is so shitty. i guess i just dun really do much research on the dvd studio pro software. well... at least i know that the dvd studio is a time based software and not go by the physical file size. if dunno what i mean, forget abt it.

inconsiderate people are everywhere. had so many of them as my housemate and i really had enuff. but then this time, is not my housemates being annoying cos they are very good and considerate. just when i was so pissed after knowing i was being dua, there were some people in the lab that i was working on playing some crapping music which really added more oil in my fire. i mean comeon lah... use headphone. if dun have then just tolerate without music, what's wrong sia.

sometimes is really so hard not to ”含怒到日落“. i try not to but and i rarely get angry but then really this time i really got quite angry. sorry for jeff cos i did show him some attitude however, he din do anything.

anyway... used most of my energy to clean up my room and toilet. will need to prepare for later's dinner. boiled some 冬瓜茶 and hope that can really 消我的火(怒)气.

have been working in school the few days, even overnight just to do the dvd assignment that was due this coming friday. had almost of the dvd done just left with a sound page, some enhancement and also the cd label. then will still need to consolidate all my images and my concept images and do up the presentation slides. so far i had an idea for my presentation slide which is using my famicom skins to add as the background or so called in-corporated into my slides. still in the process or working. but then think i would need to settle my dvd first. was thinking of staying at home to rest for a day but then i think i would just go school later and finish up my work.

had a test on the last wed and not sure what will the result be. still have to work on the essay assignment cos that is the subject i hated most.

next assignment for interactive media would be doing flash website. dunno why i still scare of flash even tho i had lessons on flash but i just feel that i am not so confident in doing flash websites.

today 乃祯 shld be in aussie liao. hm... dunno how is she. hope she is ok.

felt so tired this few days... and had a bad dream last time. dreamt of weighing only 44kg and i told myself i really have to force myself eating. cant allow myself to get thinner liao. hope i wun get as light as 40 something kg cos it really freak me out.

recent updates

seriously have not been blogging cos really starting to get more and more busy. from last fri, had been helping yaoyao to work on her 3dmax animation. well, i really sux at 3d animation but then still managed to help her. not too bad also cos can like practise on simple animation. spent the whole weekend helping her.

on the monday, went to send my 大姐 and 乃禎 to the airport. time really flies cos is weekend again and think 姐 will be coming back on this friday. have to help her to look for the houses details.

for the past few days, i had been working on my dvd project. doing an interactive dvd on wangan midnight. tho is something i like, but then i am sort of like getting so tired of doing cos i had been meeting with problems which is really pissing me off. glad that lutze is really a good tutor cos he really gives a very good support. hope to get the dvd done as soon as possible.

went to surfers with taro and esther yesterday and had yummy, the korean food, at southport. din do much also, was wanting to follow them cos really feel tired after the whole day of work and so wanna relax a bit.

so today once again went to school at 8am and then worked all the way till 10pm++ then came home. er...forget to return monica her ipod. so sorry... monica had been very entertaining, really glad to know her as a friend. today i requested her to teach me number 1 to 10 in korean, hope i can still remember the next time i see her. her dvd screen work is quite nice. she is doing on death note and she seemed to be really getting very used to motion. but then today i also feel my motion skill had improved.

jeff's dvd is also very nice. really surprise me, not say i look down on his work, just that i din know that he can do something that he din show those kind of style to me before. dunno why i felt that my work is no longer special and nice.
