==================================

It's been a couple of months since our school projects and in the last week of school break, we decided to make a short film according to a theme given in a competition on deviantart which was "What is your Secret Garden?"

Everyone has their own definition or interpretation of a secret garden. So we started pre-production during the breaks and finally finalised our story. However, we were left with the school periods to do our short film and unfortunately before the day of our shoots, we have some trouble loaning the equipments, thus the filming dates were postponed and we were not able to finish it in time for the contest. But that doesn't matter, cos we want to produce something that is worth it to be put into our portfolio.

The Secret Garden short film is still on going. =)

the Anivian Project 1 (OKTO Project)

It is the month of November and we anivians are having our school breaks soon! Its a 3 weeks break and we thought of doing something useful. So we decided to create our very first self-made project! What we meant is, it is not a project that is under the school supervision nor its a commision/request project. I guess you get what we meant.


There was a new TV channel called OKTO and they have a short "program" called OKTO Bite, where works of short animation or filming and others submitted by the public are shown. So if you guessed it right, we anivians are making one for it!

We are still under further discussions about the project.

A 30secs to 1 min clip.

Categories open for submission are :
(1) Festive Greetings

(2) Comedy (office humour, funniest video)

(3) Memorable Holiday Experience

(4) Spoof

(5) Tips (health, fashion, travel, shopping etc)

(6) Lifestyle

(7) Wishes (Birthday, Newborn, Wedding, Valentine)

(8) Animals

4 Anivians under Project Involvements

Woah.. It has been about 4 months since the day this blog was made. We got busy with our own seperate school assignments, project and external project, and the latest was a CDI project, where 3 of the anivians are currently working on it.


2 members of the Anivian, Hanis and Kala, are currently now working with other course mates, under a production house called Mediacorp, where they are to produce short animations for the "Go Green" TV program that is going to be shown on Channel U. They were given the voice overs and had to work on the storyboards and animating the characters for the episodes.

16 episodes were given, and were shared among the 4 groups (people participating in the project were devided into 4 groups) to work on it. The 2 Anivians and their friends were given epi2, 6 and 10, and are now working on epi 10. Let's hope the best for them.


Another Anivian member, Hui Qin, is also participating in a different CDI project, which is working on a video to promote the 60 Design Centre.

Lastly, Alvin is also working as a freelancer helping out in editing and as a scriptwriter for the local production houses, while juggling his school works.

Well.. All of the anivians are. That's for the months update. =)
