Game Narratives…

So I did this essay, for school and got back my grade for it just now. Since my friend wanted to read it and some others, I figured I’ll post it here since it does have to do with narration, design and etc. Oh yeah, it was a pretty good grade.

There is much room for improvement and the lecturer did give some feedback such as differentiating between ‘reward’ cut scenes and interactive movies since itcould warrant further discussion along with a more original intro and conclusion. Still… YAY!

Machinima

Soooo I don’t usually blog about my school assignments or the exact submissions but I figured I’d post one here today! It’s a machinima where I used the game called The Movies and made the characters… act! Heck, in depth description can be found on the Singapore Machinima website. There’s film festivals and all for this too.

Anywho, the technical details of my machinima:

St Patrick’s Parade and Blog Aloud – Fanboys!

Okay, there were people wondering what happened on Sunday because it rained.

Well…

IT RAINED.

That didn’t mean the parade didn’t go on though! It went on… With really soggy people.

But hey, I got to see Rozen (before it rained and when it was all sunny and humid) before the parade! She’s one of the grand marshals of the parade this year!

Yes, the 501st have special shamrock patches for events like these.

St Patrick’s Parade! With SEJA!

Last year I was lugging camera gear at the parade. This year… Okay, I’m doing the same thing again BUT! Check out my friends from SEJA!

No, in real life their light sabres don’t glow that good due to the sunlight.

They’ll be at the parade again this year, doing their performance! The Jedi and the Sith. Pay no mind to Darth Vader and the storm troopers. Okay, you can pay them mind since they’re actually our pals from Singapore’s 501st (the largest imperial legion in South East Asia). But yeah, this year’s parade on the 15th March will have them again in the Star Wars contingent.

Blogout 09!

Okay, so I went there and the talks were pretty interesting and woaah, people actually DO blog seriously here!

Blogout was organized by The Digital Movement and as usual for any events… I got there early.

Just in case I’d get lost, you know. I went to the free one on the 7th March and it was located at 8Q SAM. See, there’s actually ANOTHER Singapore Arts Museum and you got to figure out which one it was. Thankfully they DID say 8Q cause the other one is further behind and quite a walk from it too.

Woooh, okay so with the obvious sign, I totally found it.

Blogout!'09

There’s two days. The first is for corporate types and you have to pay for the tickets while the 7th March one is FREE. I’ma be there that day to just listen to the programme, especially about the “Fire your boss! Ways you can turn your blog into a business in 2009” segment. I DO wish to know what else is in store and all that. More info at their website.

MEANWHILE! I went to the Creative Industries Fair on Saturday the 28th!

Events reminder!

Young Writers’ Seminar this Saturday at 10am till 6pm at the Arts House.

And HSWG #2 , on Saturday at Geek Terminal, 2pm till whenever (read that as supposed to be around 5 but we linger more until near closing time).

Amusingly, I learned that some of my friends are going to YWS which is kinda cool since I haven’t seen them going to other previous events of these sort before! So in any case, I’ll get to know what happens there while I’m at GT!
