Pre-presentation, 31st October
Peaceful and laid back during the day, and the night scene is the counterpart of the day. I'm working on conceptual sheet, which i thought i can finish it by 12 Midnite, unfortunately but predictable, i worked way over the hours. The difficult thing for a conceptual sheet is the expression of one's thought and presented in an understandable way to the others. It might seems easy because u have all the concepts in your brain but it is not the same to others. I worked hard for ideas, scrap, tear it off, worked for ideas, scrap, tear it off......the cycle begun. Until 4.20 am. Then i go to sleep, not peacefully.
Presentation, 1st November
My heart beats at an abnormal pace, but i'm unusually calm. The water is bone chilling, and i struggle in the bathroom as usual since the day i came to UTM. Wyn Gy on the other hand, is even more laid back in the room, dipping his favorite crackers with Malaysian's favorite morning crave, Milo........
Ok, skip the long stories. Wyn Gy and I WALKED all the way to the studio, and there's not even a single bus appear. And i hate the wind that day, my hair was spoiled because of that. Wonder if i can get revenge on the wind? Hmmmm....
The studio looked just as chaotic as always, with some difference in the arrangement of the tables and chairs. All units ready...... not really, some are high speed coloring while some just started writing the conceptual sheet,some, i think crown the lists by NOT ATTENDING the crit. WTF...Anyways, the crit began.
I was on the eighth of the list, it's only a short while before my turn. People writing their speech on cards while some just wandering around sleepily figuring the key words of their works. Hasib was even more prepared cos the practiced 4 time already before the actual presentation. Seems like i'm the only one who didn't really prepare much for the presentation. I got all the words written on my conceptual sheet, but umm...its not right to look at it and read it, right? Well, there's not much times left, who cares abt thing the "could have been done". It's either do or die. So, i decided to ROCK THE HELL OUTTA MY TALK with whatever i can think of, well, of coz, i comes up with a tactic before i present ;).
Finally the juries started to comments.
(Below are some self-interpreted dialogue, which made up by myself. XP )
Jury A: "Kael, i think your communication skills is good, ur in because ur convincing enough, but look at the quality of ur work, it's wasted for the past few weeks, the writing is horrible."
Jury B:" Yes, ur quality in terms of the line quality is a lil' lacking but i love ur design! U even did a little strip show during the presentation! Its making the presentation less boring. When u haf a good design, all those other lacking can be covered!"
Jury C (cyfu): "Emm, after Jury B "pleasant" comment, i think yes, the design is good, but dont get carried over by that, and i haf to agree with Jury A, work on d convention of ur work. Not to forget, control ur artistic feature in drawing, make it NEAT AND TIDY."
Feedback from my peers: Really good bo!, Good Job, Hen Yeng lo, Syok o....
My own feelings: Phew~ at least i present it safely...Really Happy about it!!
Below are some pictures of my work and the presentation scenery with my friends.
