IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - Final Product of Etiainen
((This is a TL;DR post. If you don’t want to read the jargon, skip down to the summary in bold down the bottom. I know I write too much for my own good, mb. XP))
It has come to my attention, and the attention to everyone else, that we have somewhat of a problem with Etiainen. Everyone has seen the final product that we are expected to submit to Mr Smith (or the CC, as some people are riding on), and are, to put it nicely, slightly miffed and dissapointed.
I’ll put it as bluntly as possible. As a unified decision, the movie sucks. Massively. The movie is just all wrong, the editing is rushed and clumsy, and the only good factors we can see are the final section, and even that has been fucked up. The storyboards have not been followed to any extent whatsoever, and (I can’t speak for Kate, but for everyone else) we are ALL very upset with the final outcome.
I propose that we spend the next week before we need to submit our movies to the CC cleaning up Etiainen and actually making it into a movie we can be proud of, not a sloppy, mediocre production that made us all die inside when we watched through it. I mean this as no offense to Kate or Yasu’s abilities. We need to all come together as a group and make this movie watchable. Because at the moment, there will be some of us submitting this project that are pretty much going to get raped by the CC. Natalie for one.
Kate, if you refuse to touch it, understandable. But note that this is a four to one vote, and we will go through with this with your director’s consent or not. Me and Natalie are quite capable as directors to oversee the fixups, regardless of how prejudiced you are to some of us. Me and Natalie are staying back after school today (Wednesday 10th September, 2009) to begin the overhaul of the movie. Whatever you may think, we are changing the movie for the better.
Again,this is of no offense to you and Yasu’s skills, because you guys are quite capable in your respective skills. This is for those who desperately need to submit a quality piece of work, instead of the dog’s breakfast that has occurred through lack of communication, perseverence, and an overwhelming clampdown on some members of the group (Nat and I in particular).
IN SUMMARY: We are gathering on a regular after-school basis to reedit Etiainen, regardless of director’s opinion. This is a unified decision and WILL go forward, end of discussion. I’ll take credit for this post, cause I know I’m the one who will probably get blasted for it. Nat and I are starting today, and anyone who willingly wants to contribute CONSTRUCTIVELY AND WITHOUT ANY BIAS are welcome to.
This is RBZ!!, sadly disappointed with the state of things. Peace out. Me and Nat have some overhaulin’ to do.
Okay,
1) I personally already think the movie is crap, we had a couple of hours to edit it and I hate it. ( so basically you can speak for me)
2) I get what your trying to say and I want to be in with fixing because wth the time yasu had (definatly no offense yas, you are awesome) he couldn’t make a good film. I mean, we had 2 month for me to do the last one, Smith fucked up the timing YET AGAIN
3) I am only prejiduced to you liam, and thats because of you hurting me in the past (i dont care about that). When we do this redo where gonna have to do this properly and put away anything mean about each other and work together (like on the bus last tuesday going to yac ^_^)
4) In blackup back up to yasu’s and i’s skills, MOST of the video had faults and with the time we had we couldn’t reshoot so basicaly IN the movie is all the scenes we have of any value.
5) It WAS good, emphasis on WAS. The reason it looks like shit and is rushed (along with the storyboard thing) is because the finished product was 15 min long (yeah… i know), so the hard task of taking out shit begins.
6) I want in on the redo of this, and since i know my way around final cut better than smith or yas you could probably need my help, start or reworking the storyboards so the movie is shorter.
BTW i have a reallly bad infection and I probably wont be in school till friday or monday -_- ( i fucking hate colds)
7) Surprised im not blasting you for this man ^_^
So when you re-edit today
FIRST THING - NAME THE F*****ING FILES (i hate those files). This is what made it so hard last time
SECOND - get your ideas down on paper first, you cant work on a blank canvas on this one, trace out your lines, pick your colors, pick your brush ANALAGY OVERLOAD!!!!!!……… get what im saying though.
SHIT…. this is like the most i have written in a couple of days……
Okay, good luck
