Here's the blog for my final project group, if anyone's interested. We're still in the pre-production stage of our animation.

Jantar Mantar in Jaipur
The Dead Vlei in Namibia
The Blue City in Rajasthan
I found it!!
The Fall by Tarsem Singh. At last!!! Now I just have to wait for the user to finish uploading the whole movie...
I read a lot of comments that people don't like the movie. I think it's pretty unfortunate, it's mostly because they don't get the storyline and think it's boring.Maybe they don't really get art movies(or maybe they're just shallow*cough*)
But the photography and choice of location is very outstanding. I was surprised to find out that the locations used were real places as well, not sets.
Oh man...it hurts to wait...I'm just itching right now...maybe i should check if they sell the cds here or not.

zomg...I just tried tuning my violin by myself...It hasn't been tuned in months i think. I expected a bit of difference, but not that much.So shocking...btw i used an online tuner...so i just hope it's accurate. It was the most convenient since I don't have a piano and I didn't know whether to buy an electronic one. Yen said hers was a bit crazy, dunno if it's just the brand or it's old or what. Anyways, I didn't break any strings like i imagined, so everything's fine.

I found it. The illusive Disney movie. I still wonder why Treasure Planet did not get as much attention as the other Disney movies.Liek which would you prefer,Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers or a good wholesome animation true to the (original, non money minded) Disney spirit? I really love the concept art for this animation. Link out for the continuing parts in youtube.

Them too.
Warner, Arthur and HuiHong suck because they secretly bought themselves sneak preview tickets for today. Nevermind that it's liek 2 times the usual price,they still suck. Now who wants to watch with me?

I finally found out who's the male singer in this song:Jose Cura. I was thinking it was one of the 3 tenors for ages...
Damn...I like this song.
PS: ignore the graphics.I'm not much into fans making their little slideshow videoclips.
Another nice duet.

Yesterday I watched Coraline at last. I don't think they're showing it in cinemas here tho. Malaysian cinemas suck like that.
It's based on a story by Neil Gaiman( who wrote Mirrormask and the Sandman series) and directed by Henry Selick (who worked on Nightmare before Christmas). So I guess you know which direction it's going to take,lol. The theme is more or less the same with Mirrormask, about a child not valuing their parents enough. I think it was pretty good, eventhough at first i was a bit disappointed that the style was not Dave McKean's(Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's styles are liek a match made in heaven or something) but in the end the style they ended up using was pretty effective as well. It's in stopmotion animation BTW. But i like the character design, especially the circus mice for some weird reason. Check out the part where paper mice float out of the door. I like that part particularly for some reason.
