Finals

It's the final week of Semester two and I am glad it is almost over! :O)

This week will be filled with final project presentations and one big assessment on Thursday. The clock is ticking and I am sure everyone is busily trying to finish all their projects.

I leave you now with a napkin sketch of my character design project that I handed in today. Will be posting up several scenes at
http://imaginativeworkshop.blogspot.com/ so feel free to check that out! Tomorrow's the handing in of HD video project entitled "Project: Red Light".

Friar Derrick John Yap - priest for Christ

Recently, with the Church under attack left right centre regarding child sex abuse, I am proud to witness an old friend of mine taking up priestly vows yesterday. It was truly a beautiful celebration! St Mary of the Angels (Singapore) was packed and overflowed with guests as not just one, but three friars were ordained. The sign is loud and clear... ;o)

Rigging 101

When you see this, it just tells you that I am near the end of the semester. Two more weeks exactly. I'm completing several projects simultaneously, two of which are worth mentioning at this point.

A) Docu-drama for HD video
Everything has gone exceptionally smooth (in general) for this project. Even my trip to Batam for some of the scenes was trouble-free. So much so, I'm almost certain that we had picked on the right subject to work on. The working title's Project: Red Light, and that's about how much I'll reveal at this point.

B) Character Design
I'm more or less happy with the seven characters that have resulted from the months of brainstorming. I will be placing the characters into scenes with sets and props within the week. The props play an important role for the realism of my characters, so will be working hard on that. Was just at Page One and was inspired by the Art of Toy Story 3!

More updates real soon!

Life's Short

I got one of my classmates to shoot me fooling around at the kampung (village)... it sure brought back memories of my grandparents' kampung! Ah... the so simple things in life! :O) Up, up and away!

Less is More

Two days at Kampung Air (ah-yeah) in Batam reminded me about contentment, that I don't need much to be happy. Is it about being able to access a whole load of information about the world with the lastest technology? Maybe it's me choosing to be ignorant?

Thank you for the world so sweet - Ho hum!
Thank you for the food we eat - Yum yum!
Thank you for the birds that sing a ling a ding...
Thank you Lord for everything... Amin!
