Day009 - [Wed 130208] Raccee Day

We came and met up during our class periods to shortlist the places to raccee. The first few locations to cover are the ones in school. So we raccee the places again and went to ask permission to book the rooms from one of our lecturer Vani. Right after we finished covering the areas in our school, we went for a quick lunch and set off at 330pm and took a bus to City Hall area.

We went to a hotel at Stamford Road to a place where they do potraits and other things essential to drawings and paintings. The backdrop was meant for drawing essential module.

So we raccee the place and ask for the permission of the owner and asked a few favours liked if she could sketch a portrait of Hui Qin while we interview her and also take a few shoots on the things they do there.

The next stop we went is the Subway station where some of the artworks by students from different school are being displayed and also where some other art exhibitions are being held.


Right after that, we went to 9 Shanton Way to raccee a place belonged to an animation company called 77star. We had a few difficulties communicating with the Japanese person, but it was all alright and Hui Qin tried speaking Japanese to him. *laugh out loud* It helps actually, because one thing i knew was that, he doesn't really understand numbers in english, due to some incident where i had to say nana instead of seven not too long ago, so Hui Qin said it in Japanese when he asked how old we were. (I know this is not relevant much, but i cant help thinking of both efforts trying to communicate to one another)
But after taking a look at the place, we decided to use our animation studio at school instead for our Animation Fundamental, because their new studio is only available in March.



Next in our list is Clarke Quay/Boat Quay, a place for digital photography essential.

To be continued...

We took a look at the place and decided on the possible shots and lightings. There wasn't much to talk about though. But we had fun walking and sight seeing.

The next place was Orchard Road. During the recce, we had another idea for our video fundamental backdrop and decided on a play or act for the backdrop in a tv studio. So we began to think about the number of crew we need for the scene. After an exhausting and fun walk, we had dinner at Long John Silver and continued the discussion the next day.
