3D Bites : A Shortfilm Competition

10th November 2008

Today was the day where a competition of 3D Animation organised by Autodesk and ACA Pacific at Avenue K, Quattro. The One Academy involves 4 teams into the competition including my team, Team 4+1.

Before we reach the destination… I’m been thinking back things that happen in our group… Mid Year 2007, when we started to form a group.. we were the left-outs in the class… n the only hope is onto CheeKin… which I think he can manage to transform us into something… mayb because of him, he manage to bring up our team spirit…

Besides… our story keep changing from one to another… if I’m still remember… totally up we got around 4 story keep changing, changing and changing… Even the character design is already fix but the story still on the half way. CheeKin come up with DRACULA, KokKang come up with CHINESE VAMPIRE, YeeJenn come up with TAOIST…

When we kinda lost faith on what we doing… Seng Han appear… he give us comments, opinions, ideas, concepts, story examples… than, when we were having lunch in KimGary with other groups members… we came out and idea by BullShiting here and there among each other… Finally we came up this story, THE CHASE… new character been added n an old character been taken out… now that our story consists of DRACULA, VAMPIRE and THE THIEF…

Although we screw up our presentation, but we still keep moving on… because we believe that… sometimes we just need to ignore some opinion from the lecturer and continue what we believe in… and by Early of Year 2008… with help from Lecturer Ng Aik Sern… our 3D character is complete…


With the completion of 3D characters, backgrounds, props, and etc. we finally started to feel the film is on completion… after the rendered still mood of the background, we finally feel the whole film is ready. All of us were on high spirit and so eager to see the final outcome... so the rest is the story that happen on 24th October 2008 in my blog…

Came back to 10th November 2008… when Team 4+1 is announce the winner of the GRAND PRIZE… I cant believe that we won… We really did won… then CheeKin happily said “we started together, worked on it together, finished it together, and won it together”

Thanks to u, Team 4+1… thanks to CheeKin never give up on us… ^^

here are some picture that we manage to take that day that moment:

Here... Team 4+1 present you our story, THE CHASE:

UpperStar, KotaKinabalu, Sabah

20th October 2008

It was 8pm in the night when SheauF call me… bcoz today me, she n penny hv a drink in Upperstar Kota Kinabalu… by 840pm… I arrive Damai which I’m supposed to meet her there and fetch her to Upperstar… but unfortunately my car light broke down… n she was scared being “saman” by police… so we decide to use SheauF car… she drive n I lead…

On the way… we been chit chatting… n I found out something special about her which make me laugh quite a long time n make her shy shy about that… but surprisingly… she was not angry at all… normally she should be angry ppl laughing her… but she change… good for her too…

910pm we arrive there n meet up with penny… when the waiter come to us… she ask me what to drink… so I intro to her that Kampai Blueberries or Kampai Blackcurrants is quite a good choice… since she cant decide to order which… she ask me to other the other one n she order the other one… bcoz she feel so greedy that she wanna try both flavors… so I make the order n continue our chit chatting…

Suddenly… SheauF intro us to play “Honest Game”… since we hv 3 ppl there… so the rule of the game is… 2 ppl will be asking the person whatever question… while the person being ask must choose to answer either one or both together… I tot I was quite a stupid game so I agree with it… BUT… nice things always when wrong… Penny keep asking about my feeling towards SheauF… I say it out honestly facing towards SheauF… as if Penny was not exist… soon SheauF start attacking me by asking my feeling toward herself too… until the half way… SheauF start to be shy bcoz she nvr knew that I took those question seriously… n she beginning started to stop Penny from keep asking but fail… When the End of the game... I hv the answer of what I SheauF feeling towards me… n SheauF knew my feeling towards her… n still the same we both make Penny feel like she’s invincible at all…

Furthermore… something happen during this meeting which I guess it will always be my memory… can be consider the result was not so happy… but b4 we all head home… SheauF keep remind me to came over to her house on CNY… which I told her that I will be back to Sabah during CNY few days ago… cant wait for the day…

Citymall tiny reunion

18th October 2008

Today I’m manage to call SheauF n Penny out for a small reunion… after discussing with Penny for the location for almost 1 hour plus… we finally decided to go to Old Town in Citymall… time been set to 10pm…

915pm… SheauF dy call me asking where m i… so I hv no choice but to rush to Old Town… by 945pm… I arrive at the place and I saw SheauF n Penny was talking happily… than instead of Penny, SheauF quickly space out a place for me to sit next to her… well… when I saw this moment… I was laughing inside bcoz is not always that SheauF allow ppl to sit next to her especially when we are in odd number of the amount of people here… than we talk talk talk until around 1130pm… we decide to change to other location which is more soft… than we go for Starbuck…

Inside Starbuck we continue our chit chatting here… well… things that we chat there was all secret… so the most I hope is… Penny can keep it secret forever… I nvr worry about SheauF bcoz since Year 2004… me n SheauF been exchanging each other our own self secret… and non of them been spread to other… so can consider that… SheauF trust me n I trust SheaF…

After that… Penny shares her suffering working life to us… n hope that we can give her some advice or suggestion about her job… so me n SheauF try to help her as much as possible… whatever suggestion we give… its only just suggestion and advice… the most important is what Penny want to do in future…

By around 1am… everyone is tired n we set home by making another appointment on 20th October… a day before my flight to Kuala Lumpur…

Than around 1pm… I arrive at Terminal 2 in Kota Kinabalu… when I waiting for my luggage… I notice that the luggage of some people and I didn’t appear… than when one of the people decides to ask the Air Asia staff… the staff straight away say that is bcoz we check-in late… so our luggage been transfer to the next flight… so I went home… bcoz my dad cant wait for 1 hour for the next flight arrival… so I’m only back to take my luggage on 630pm…
