Week 2

Hello!
So for Week2, we did quite a few stuff.
We went out to record and create folleys  for the Thanksgiving film.
& on Sunday,  I did the remote control camera for Service It was quite a new experience for me as I've never controlled a camera in this way. (You can control 3 cameras from this!)

& then we had Burger Meister for lunch(from the locals, they feel that this is one of the better burger joints.)

& the first time I've had milktea since I've been here!
Ah, how I miss my milktea..Haha anyway back to the week.
In the following weekdays, we shot Pastor Crook's message for Harvestfest.
I was the camera operator together with Kenneth.
That night we went to Harry's house to shoot the backgound plate for Pastor Crook's message.

& also, you have a whole building of Krispy Kreme here! Haha. Harry bought us one dozen. Thankyou Boss again!
& random snippets, we also had Five Guys!

I spend the whole next day editing Pastor Crook's message & compositing the background video in.
This was not as easy as I expected it to be as I had some difficulty syncing the video and audio perfectly.
We also had another Mass Media meeting that night to gather more ideas and refine the script for our Thanksgiving short film.

The next day was Harvestfest. In the morning, it was Christian Heritage Day for the kids in school.
They had a parade at the front of the school and we helped to setup speakers and the sound system for the parade.

That afternoon Shawn & myself worked on the Thanksgiving script, final editing, refinements etc. & I did the formatting for the script.
Wind & Kenneth worked on the storyboard for the film.
We also tested the videos that will be shown during Harvestfest later at night and Pastor Crook's message was very out of sync on the big screen, more so than when we previewed on our computers, not sure if it was the player problem or what. But I was a little disappointed that we were not able to show a perfectly synced video during the event.
At night it was the Harvestfest event, we rotated duties as a pair. I did the lighting, switches and Wind was in the soundbooth.

We also had time to sightsee this week.
Harry brought us to see the Palace Of Fine Arts, the famed Golden Gate Bridge and  Muir Woods.

Harry also taught us how to use the public transports to head Downtown.

Why the faces? Haha. We were at a Game store and Shawn & Kennth were off wandering through the stores and we were waiting for them.

There, the happy guys coming up.

The really pretty interior of a Disney store! (Sorry for the moving woman in the shot.) haha

We also went to the highly raved about Cheesecake Factory for dinner

Some of us were not able to finish our portions(as usual), but looks like we will be able to in time to come as our appetites are generally getting bigger in our 5th week now. Opps. Haha

& random snippets, we also had Five Guys for one of our lunches. I personally feel that this is the best burger+fries I've had so far in the States.(:

Okay, that's about it for Week2!
