IT'S A HIT!! IT'S A HIT!!
What I least expect my video to be happens to turn out way high above the scale of excellence! Many thanks to you guys for the affirmation!
And yes! Pointing out to what Jo Quek mentioned, we really did fall into a perfect blend of creative-arty-farty people to work with. I guess God did bring out the best in every single one of us despite the many norms with school and NS.
You know what?! Both Qi Yang and myself being in the operational side turns out to be able to do SOOOO much work and Jo Q being in a A's this year. WOW! So blessed!
And of course not forgetting the musical people under the leading of Aric and also the support service group like Jerome and many of YOU people out there who lend your support at many alternate times of our preparations! THANKS!
To think that I only spent 3 puny hours on a Wed (Fri is the deadline) starting out with laying all the pieces randomly together, line a little music here and there. Scroll through the transitions and effect, placing 'em at random places. Put a play to it... ... NICE!
And least do I expect the music to line up with the video sequence! AND AND AND! I did it with the simplest dummy-could-operate fool proof Windows movie maker! No fancy applications like DIVx maker and "Final Cut Pro"! AND added to that... NO fuss over selection of music!
Wel... Guess I have to reveal a little on the music to you guys who have been asking :)
Here goes...
Opening : Hillsongs - The Time Has Come
First Seg : Desperation Band - Freedom Song
Second Seg : Nevertheless - The Real
Last Seg : The Afters - You
Yea! Rolling back the vid and watching it over and over again, I can't help but thank God for His Hands in this. (Guess it's always good to start with a prayer with everything we do !!)
Especially the many small shots that portrays the "searching" part, many of which end up with natural facial expression! Not acted!
And it was so widely receive that I felt like a successful launch of a movie or something! Rolling in tons and tons of big bucks. But of course I'll love the idea of having rolling in "big bucks", but I do hope on the 26th July we'll be rolling in "big CROWDS". :)
Till then...
