Update for 20 Nov, Thursday.
It was couple of weeks ago...
Took part in the anti-piracy video competition (The Media Challenge) jointly organised by SP and Motion Pictures Association America, supported by 4 schools:
School of Business
School of Digital Media and Infocomm Technology
School of Communication, Arts and Social Sciences
School of Design
We only started our plans on Wed (5 Nov), Filming & Editing on Fri (7 Nov) *There was quite some problem with the importing on Friday man* and Editing on Sat (8 Nov)... and the submission date was Monday, 10 Nov! We did it within 4 days!
Award ceremony was held TODAY (20 Nov).
We were supposed to go for the rehearsal yesterday, but was busy with organising Saturday's Face Off event, so weren't able to.
And we only get to know the winners of the The Media Challenge today!
They actually 'crashed' a lecture to hold the award ceremony in that MLT. No wonder there's so many people. HAHA
When they had the mouse-over the '2nd prize' video, it showed the duration of the video being 49secs, so I knew it wasn't ours. And the 'special prize' video's thumbnail view isn't ours too.
The put the '1st prize' video in another folder. That is when we got nervous.
When they played it, we were all so elated about it and cheered so loudly!!
WE WON!
(There's just so many reasons to dress up nicely today 'cos we got class photoshoot and award ceremony and also staying back till late for dry run of Face Off event. Clothes are fully utilised today! HAHA)
And I teared while watching our video being played before everyone's eyes! LOL
And YAY! the whole team went to shook hands and took picture with the Guest-of-honour - Mr Dan Glickman, CEO of Motion Pictures Association America!
That's such great honour man.
Now now, you will sure be asking "So what did you win?"
We won $300 Harvey Norman vouchers (as a group), Certificate, and the chance to meet Mark Burnett (the producer of reality shows e.g. Survivor, Amazing Race)!
WOOHOO! That's awesomely cool.
We just got so excited after the award ceremony that we can't wait to share the joy with the others, we couldn't care much even when lots of food was displayed before us! LOL
Went to the the staff room long stretch of corridor, and knock on the ones that we know to inform them about it!
First up was Ms Trudy and another lecturer... hoho! They were happy for us, and even wants someone to write about this thing so that it can be published in the school's magazine.
Next was Ping! Her reaction was so BIG! And I mean BIG! She literally jumped out from her $699 chair and exclaimed with such excitement! LOL WAHAHA That reaction totally rocks! Ping, if you are reading this... hahaha. You should have seen it yourself. So funny!
Then along the way met RJ, his reaction was so flat. HAHAHA. Then went on to tell Christina... Dioni... =x
All of them asked the same question immediately "So what did you all win?" So Jovis answered repeatedly. HAHA!
Last week I told my team mates I dreamt that we didn't win. And they went "Aiyo", "CHOY" HAHA That goes to show how dreams are different from reality. =x
Now, I want to thank all my superb team mates - Jovis, Syawal, Aqmar, Aileen, Sin Kai & Lay Teng!
