Really early yet again. Not even the staff is here yet. Huh.
Just gonna keep on playing Random FireRed then. Even though I like Random Emerald way more.
Same day, 5:13 PM PDT
We started reshooting immediately after class started. We got a decent chunk done before lunch. Ate a quick little sandwich and played piano at the Middle Earth lounge for the hour of break that we got and right after, more filming. This time, I didn't have to eat a disgusting banana.
The antagonist did. Bwahahaha.
We finished shooting around 2-ish, where the last scene we shot involved me screaming "NOOO" in the middle of UCSD again. You can imagine the looks I got.
Made the grueling walk back to class and what happened? FOOTAGE IS CORRUPTED AGAIN. Since we've used a different camera, a different CF card, and a different card reader, the only other variables are Final Cut Pro X, QuickTime, or the Mac itself.
We did a bit more testing and apparently, it has something to do with FCPX trying to render the footage wrong. They rendered the footage on another computer and it worked perfectly, so that's what they'll be doing when class ends since the transferring between computers takes forever and required multiple external hard drives.
So the entire rest of the hour before we left, my group just surfed the Intenet. James put up R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" which was a lot funnier than I remember it. If you're unfamiliar with it, it's a 33-episode dramatic musical where the entire thing is sung by R. Kelly in the same tempo and tune. It's ridiculous, but here' the first
episode.
Also, we found those awesome site called "gamedesign.jp" where there are 9 mildly difficult puzzles that you have to solve. I beat all but two of them and one of the ones that I didn't beat was Solitaire, which I'm pretty good at. Among the other puzzles were Lights Out, this one puzzle where you are a cop trying to catch a robber in a 4x4 grid with a curve in one corner, and a game where you had to block off a cat from escaping a plain made of hexagonal pieces. All were slightly challenging, took a bit of time.
But the last one I got stuck on? Goddamn Lights Out. But instead of only turning on/off adjacent lights, the lights you press (de)activate all of the lights in a diagonal line from it.
I solved the Lights Out level in 5 minutes. This diagonal Lights Out took FORTY MINUTES. AND I DIDN'T EVEN BEAT IT.
It's ridiculous.
Anyway, on the bus right now. There's a girl across from me chatting away at her cellphone ever since she got on. I'm assuming she's my age (if not a little younger) since she said that the other person was lucky for being able to drive at 15.
Back to the point, why am I mentioning her? Well, turns out, she talked about some person in Texas dying in a Six Flags ride and that Simon Cowell's getting sued for some reason. Gotta watch the news more if I'm getting new info from a 15 year old girl across from me than the BBC.
RFotD: R. Kelly wrote "I Believe I Can Fly." For you people like me who immediately think Michael Jordan wrote it because of Space Jam, you're wrong.
SGAT: Made films. So exhausted.
