For first day of production, although there was a delay in the morning, try to set up the stuff and get the lighting right, we are still on track and surprisingly, we are way way way way way faster than the shooting schedule.
Encounted some problems on the first day, a lecturer almost had us chases out of the 3-10a room. We are so lucky that julian managed to come down on time to save us from the other lecturer and his class. We were to afriad that we have to pack up the super- duper messy room, and have to bring the whole set design to another room and set up again. in the end, the lecturer was kind enough to let us use the room for the day. If we were to shift to another room, it will take us 30 to 40 mins to pack up everything and another 30mins to get everything settled again for the shoot i guess.
Here's a photo of the other class's student waiting outside the room for us to shift out of the room.
THankz Kong and Yijie for taking care of the set and making sure that everything from equipment, set design to set and moving the set up and down of design . I think without them the set might have just be thrown away by some cleaners or destroyed by student with itchy hands.
So after the shooting was done, Huizhen and I went up to level 6 to transfer the footages. WAH~! we are so lucky that we've got Peng's and his " P2-bible" . HZ and i manage to figure out what setting to change in the setting so as to transfer the footage right from the camera to MAc, Rather than wasting time transferring to hard-disk and to Mac. It saves lots of time if the P2 card only have small amount of footages.
To our disappointment, THERE WAS PROBLEM IN UPLOADING IT ~! it'll state that the file is idle, which means that the clip can't be transfer ed over to FCP. Was so lucky that Peng happened to be online after we tried to phoned other for help. So the problem to it it that the upgraded version of the MAc can't open/ transfer those p2 clips. Phew, what a huge relieve.
