I'm Bored so i Blog

2 more videos to share
just having fun and learning the basics at the moment~

1. 3D composite test
trying out 3D compositing in After Effects...
Quite hard and takes a long long time to render, but I'm happy with the outcome XD

2. Explosion Test
blowing up stuff had always been my dream... neh I'm just saying things~
well it always seemed like a realistic explosion is hard to pull off
so here I am giving it a try myself.
Also tried blowing up planets... all the shattered debris, shockwaves etc
was great fun, but took me the longest time so far loL

Also wanna complain a bit
Whats wrong with youtube lately

This is a pretty late post~
Well since the camp was a long long time ago...
wayyy back last tuesday loL~

Had to wake up damn early that day
coz its a 3 hour drive from home to UTP~
Actually my first destination was
Universiti Teknologi MARA UiTM~
Coz I was gonna spend the night in a hostel there...

During registration,
met a guy who was queuing behind me,
Wei Ling~
I didn't see him after registration then
Then I went to check in into my hostel~
Room A116~
Was the first guy in the room so i held the key,
5 minutes later another participant came in,
name's Amin~
then not long after that... Wei Ling came in!!!
Yes, the guy I met at the front door is now my roommate haha
Guess we were destined to meet then XD
So I ended up spending the rest of the camp
with him as my trusty partner hahas~
4 guys shared the room, the one other guy was Fitri,
which only showed up in the evening break loL~

We keep taking bus trips thru out the whole camp
since the campuses were big
and we had to travel back and forth between UTP and UiTM~
Since activities were mainly in UTP,
but our accomodation was at UiTM, so so...

I have to asy... UTP is like
one of the COOLEST places ever loL~

Schedule?
First day we had maths and science test...
loL its all SPM stuff but i dun rmb a thing...
so the test.... lalalalalala

2nd day
We had Potentia J assessment, somewhat like an interview
and also English Placement Tests
as well as Critcal Reasoning, both verbal and diagrammatical~

A new chapter in life~ i moved from Photoshop to After Effects...
Took me a whole day to finish my first video, which was only about 30 seconds long...
and I have to say it really sucks~
But its the process of learning that matters...
And although its tedious
it was a lot of fun XD

1st video: Firearms Literally
This was a random thing that came out... I actually just wanted to test out some explosion FX
And I ended up going too far my adding my stupid hand into it,
before adding in L4D2 sounds to kick it up~
Used a blue towel as my transparency
(need to rethink that coz towels have super coarse textures)
LoL~ and this was my final outcome:

2nd video: Muzzle Flash Test
Done this one yesterday, took me the whole day~
Just wanted to test my newly adopted skills in After Effects
and go for realistic gun effects...
I have a couple of future video ideas that need guns
so I had to make sure i know how to make fake guns come alive~
I used footage from an airsoft bb gun review
turned the bb into a real submachine gun...
or so i tried by best loL~
here it is:

Whether my videos turn out nice
or if they just turn out as crap
I'll keep on working coz its fun~
And I have a few damn months to spend
before going to college anyway~

JJ, over and out~

2nd driving lesson today~
Got to drive the tiny Perodua Viva from Sg Long to Broga~
I made it a damn long journey since my average speed was abt 55km/h...
zzzzzz I can tell my instructor (i just call him uncle) was bored to death...
but well I guess he's used to it~

Reached the institution (finally)....
Uncle taught me of all the stuff i nid to noe~
quite simple really~ naik bukit, parallel parking, 3 pt turn~
just need more practice...
well I still have more than 7 hrs to go so what the heck XD

but i was quite excited... sweating lol~ (plus i had to keep the window open... so it was damn hot!)

After going a few rounds and getting the hang of it...
Uncle took me to test-drive jalan B for the on-the-road test~
nothing much, just a small straight road not much traffic at all...

It was the road home that was rather... scary~
well its because... A Reckless lorry driver almost killed me!!!
I was at a left lane and suddenly this stupid lorry from the right changed lanes to the left...
Worse thing is my bumper was merely inches away from the lorry's butt
and if i hadnt hit the brakes we would've hit~ ><
i even panicked and forgot to let go the brakes... car stopped... engine died~
Uncle gave me a good scolding too... coz yea well i noe that if i suddenly stop...
I'll be exposing my six to a good knocking by the cars behind if they cant stop in time~
so why did i stop the car?... I PANICKED thats why....
stupid lorry driver~ watch out or u might really get somebody killed next time ><

Rest of the journey was on the highway so no problem~
Nxt lesson'll be nxt week~
I'll be really cautious on lorries and other massive vehicles by then XD

JJ, over and out~
