Video editing!

Just returned from Calvin's about an hour and a half ago. Was filming the very last scenes and helping edit the council video. Really quite tired physically and mentally from doing the video for the 32nd!! And it's not even going to be shown on invest!! But to me and shit it's like our gift to our beloved 32nd, so it really doesn't matter no matter how much energy it's gonna sap and how much effort it's gonna take.

We began filming thinking that councillors would be irritating and everything, considering how this video is really for our own rememberance and amusement, and not official at all, so we can't force councillors to comply and come down. Besides, everyone's really jaded by the one million cheering events, formals, GMs and etc, so we were expecting a whiny crowd and all haha.

But we were really touched to find that most of them actually really co-operated with us! We were really, really moved when Shushu and Yanyan bought us food when they saw that we were really tired from Thursday's filming. And when MonMon was completely compliant when we told her to do stupid scenes. And how gum, xiaoxiao, yvonne, runi and karin really came all the way down just for one scene and a few seconds in the video. How yeowch actually planned and took the initiative to tell us his plans for his scene. And Steph for doing the stupidest things that she'd never have done in her life. How people like Bobbert had to bear the brunt of our bad moods. Like from both of us, poor soul! And how Paul, Alice, Gloree and Gloria had to come down on two days to do different things because we didn't like the initial idea. And like Xun for lending us his house. Calvin, my sweetie pie poochie poo goochie goo whom I know doesn't read my blog cos he spends all his time sleeping, for editing the video of course. And really, really everyone for all your encouragement. All your little jiayous, like from Kailing and Mon and everyone else really gives us the energy to go on, and the motivation to carry on on our little project. How everyone really contributed whatever ideas they had, and took our very SACO directing very seriously. It's really quite amusing to watch them listen to us with rapt attention, HAHA! It's really really a blessing to have the 32nd, really.

And oh yea, we really, really tried our hardest and best, but so sorry about the unequal parts!!! Especially those who couldn't fit into our schedule or those parts that had to be taken out. We're REALLY sorry!!!!

We really hope the 32nd would enjoy the final product. Although it may not be very professionally done, a little sub-standard in fact (we ARE amatuers after all), and a very low-budgeted production (we spent a grand total of $2.90), but it really represents the vitality and boundless energy of our council.

I know we rock.

WE ROCK!!!
