3D Bites : A Shortfilm Competition

a competition organised by Autodesk and ACA Pacific and the event was today, at Avenue K, Quattro.

Team 4+1 took the chance to enter this competition.. a team consisting of 4 guys and 1 girl..

we started 2gether as the left-outs in class. when we group ourselves together, we knew, this is gonna be real hard. cz we're considered the weakest team among all. we don't have someone who's really strong in art or technical in the group...all of us are just...normal. but this doesnt bring down our team spirit.

we came out with a concept and characters

we started off with a story and Chris made changes on it until the whole thing gets reallly complicated and harder to do...LOL. we kinda lost faith in ourselves tht moment. thanks to Seng Han, we got a new idea. same characters, same concept, but new story. and it's like..few more days left to present the storyboard to Chris...

one of the storyboard where Thief is running

so we came up with the new idea and proposed to Chris. he doesnt advise us to do so at 1st, cz we dn have the time...but i promised him that we sure will vomit it out for him 1. we had a war for the whole night...and we showed him wat we promised...x)
our spirit was building back up edi this time...
then we had another war again another night for the final animatic presentation. tht 1..we vomit blood. AHAHAHAH

but, we screwed that presentation up. we kena bad comments and feedbacks from the people we presented it to. we were the worst again. LOL
nvm, we moved on with what we have and c what can we do in 3D stage.


after seeing the 3D characters we start to feel the film already. our spirit grew again. but we still lack of an ending. we do not know how to end the story...lotsa ideas we came up with, but it sounds..just not the right one.

after seeing the entire rendered still mood of the background, we totally feel the whole film already. we were on high spirit that time. so eager to c the final outcome...
we started together, worked on it together, finished it together,

and finally, we won together... x)

believe it anot, we did not have any conflicts among ourselves throughout the whole project...we're very straight forward. we always have an open discussion to voice any unhappiness in the team. i LOVE this team. x) even if we didnt win this, i still love this team. you guys feel me, i know. hahaha
