Oh yes. It's been a month working at MCS.
Time flies~
Recalling... 16 Sep 09, Wed.
Aikk, Ping and M.Lam was present to help see that we are settled in...
When we step into our office, all of us saw a while MCS envelope with our names in front of the computers, in it was our username and password to log into the computer and our email accounts (our MCS email account!)
Then we had our very first meeting on that day too.
After knowing our roles, we began our research. At first we werent' quite sure too... and the first few days went by quickly.
We were rather kan chiong on the 2nd week when there was a Touch Base Meeting which was postponed to a later time of the day, cancelled and suddenly resumed on that day itself. All of us were busy printing out our segment updates that it dragged for half an hour before the meeting starts. We prepared like it was for a CA presentation in school. =x
C was rather surprised 'cos she didn't know that we had to prepare so much for the meeting. Haha! And then later on we realise what it was actually meant by 'Touch Base Meeting'.
We were also SUPER EXCITED over our namecards when it arrived that I think the whole office heard us. HAHA
Then 3rd week came along. ShiR and I had a sudden filming due to an event which was held on Sat itself. And it was all to sudden to book a crew, requisite for wardrobe, make-up... everything was in a rush. We were pretty anxious too. Luckily it was all settled and ready to go on Sat. Then it was the loss of the day... which you all have read about in my previous entries.
In between, we also had some interesting moments where we played City Beat song and sang along (LOL!), and also saw how was everyone's reaction when we all felt the tremors.
4th week was rather jia lat for me. I wasn't in MCS for almost the whole week as we were back in SP doing our profile video shoot and photoshoot, and I was doing the editing for opening titles... to meet the deadline on Fri, and also editing hosts profile vids and our profile vids... which Megs and Flo help me out in.
In between also had to make final confirmation of the shoot for next week so as to book crew, requisite, book bus... etc.
Had to miss the 3G technology training on Fri which all of them went... and which I also really want to go for... =/
*Hope I will be able to pick up soon*
Got my hands on medialogging, doing requisitions, callsheets... done 4 ep this week, which ShiR and I each went for 2.
Went up to editing suite and saw how the editor work with his fingers all over the keyboard, using shortcuts for editing... so FAST.
Thought I could pick up something from him, but it seemed difficult 'cos he's too fast~... I'll try to get my hands on Avid soon, since it works on Windows. Avid seems to have more effects and and functions than FCP...
School is starting next week! And so, we have to travel to both sides everyday, and telecast date is during which school starts too. I can sense the tension.
Oh well, after a month, I feel that I'm beginning to like it more. Though there's always the press for time, this and that to do, this and that to report... but it's a challenging job.
It is the challenges that make it interesting.
It is the new things to learn that make it refreshing.
It is the people whom we interact with that make it work.
