Melancholy of Finals Week

Hey guys! I haven't been able to post lately, and be active on this blog thanks to the loads of work handed to us during our finals week.

One of them was to make a dictionary using C. I died. Several times because of bugs that pop out of nowhere. I tried to keep my code as clean and flexible as possible but bugs still appear. But after a couple of hours of painstaking work, I finished it!

Then there's our minor subjects (that feel major). On a lot of them, we were to make a movie out of something or another.

(Warning: A lot of faces have been murdered in the making of these videos)

The first one was Dead Stars. A short story by Paz Marques Benitez. This was the first time I got my hands on Sony Vegas Pro, so I had pretty much no idea how to use it. But then I remembered I am IT and just got the hang of it in a couple of minutes.

Then there's How My Brother Leon Brought Home A Wife by Manuel Arguilla. We made a script, then compromised, then compromised, then compromised. And here's the result.

And lastly, Ang Depresyon ni John Sala (The depression of John Sala). Yeah. That's a crappy title. Well no one did give me a title, and I was really lazy at that time so that title happened. But after an entire afternoon of laughing, here's the result.

Although I'm still a beginner at editing videos, they pushed the editing work on me. Which gives me full permission to murder their faces.

And in the editing part, even though I was still at the very beginning of the project, I was looking forward to the bloopers. Even though I have no idea how to position and place everything, I have every little detail of the bloopers planned already.

So, the next time we're making a movie with me as the editor, be prepared. Your faces will be murdered indiscreetly. Mwahahaha!
