Christmas Drowse Party

One week was given to us to relax and enjoy the spirit of Christmas. One week for us to celebrate and spend the week with our families.
Well, I think it is better to be called as "Christmas Sanction" rather than "Christmas Vacation".
During these days, me and my classmates were really very busy communicating with each other. Not to greet them a meer christmas, nor greet them and ask them how they were, but to ask them how their Light Tent Photography were.
I never was the creative type of person. I am a loser when it comes to making things beautiful and nice to look at. But with the certain project assigned to us to done and be passed on the 3rd day of January, which is the first day of school after the very, very, very short vacation.
I went home after prelims right away because I was really so excited to see and hug my parents and sibblings again. Well, I have hugged them but silly me, I never was contented with just that. I wanted more. I wanted to enjoy my vacation with them, like go with them on a beach party or a picnic under the tree.

But nothing from all of these had happened!

Here goes my tiring sanction days:

When I finally got home to our beloved city (which is located in Zamboanga del Su, plus the fact that our house is far from the main city), I then started making my project.
I began by buying miniatures, a box, bulb with wire and switch and a 1-meter cloth. And then I arranged my storyboard. I revised my story or shall I say, I changed most parts of my story because I was not able to get the corrected story we passed. Simply because after Ma'am Shiela's lab class, I then ran off to the bus terminal for the noon trip.
I had a hard time thinking about my story, that's why I have started the photo shoot on the next day. I made the props, the light tent, etc.
After the shoot, I immediately transferred the pictures to my computer so I could start right away with the editing.
I started making in Ulead, then Flash Media and then Movie Maker. But I did not have any guides to guide me, so I ended up making in Power Point. We do not have Voice Recorder and Cool Edit pro nor Microphone so I made the narration in a Karaoke type.
I was about to give up because I really do not have any idea to what it should be. Until I finished my movie after 4 days. But i was not really satisfied, I have not been satisfied with my art works ever in my life.
Getting back to cagayan de oro City for the class, I was so shy to show my work. I knew right form the very start that it's so 'effortless'. Which actually was true.
I was thankful that we were given the chance to re-shoot and make another movie and be passed on January 7.
Chances are really prescious, that's why I treasure chances and make the most out of it.
