Tvp107 12/10/07

Well this has hands down been the most shit week I have had at uni so far. It has been the only time I have cried in public in over a year and all over being fired from a VOLUNTEER job without a reason in which I HAD DONE THE WORK!!! So yes I was not very impressed at all - and just for the record I still have recieved NO VALID POINT as to WHY we were "replaced" the person doing the firing in question then would not meet without someone there higher up to back her up even when we said we wernt angry and that we were all grown ups and that we only wanted a decent reason to why - we were even prepared to take on the job once again even after all the kuffefel that should never have been there in the first place if we were given that reason and a decent apology neither of which have yet been supplied and I doubt that either ever will.
Both my 'partner in crime' and myself still plan to hand in all our paperwork for the design and shooting concept of the opener for marking as we were doing this out of good will and hopefully for some extra marks if good enough yet we were rudely interupted only a few days before shooting when we were behind schedual already - not our fault though as we were informed to wait until we had a new concept for the home set as we were ready to shoot the opener for the fridge concept end of last term and 2 days before shooting the designers changed their minds. To come up with an entire concept package and be ready to shoot in the time of 4 days given that the home set was nothing and inspired to the amount of zilch and then to be fired and in the same 5 minute conversation be told "were all a team and in this together" and to hand over my work eg storyboards and studio time etc.. for someone else to use I found both blatently rude and unacceptable - Yes we would be all in a team if this was a proper production in the real world and we were all getting paid to make a masterpiece - but we are not we are at uni and what the person in charge in this phone call did not realise is that we are getting marked on this and if marks aren't good enough some of us dont get scholarships which means an end to our existance in this course in which may lead one day to a promising carrear n which we are getting paid and we are all in the same boat - in uni if we were all to get one mark and one mark only as a team mark - as in if everyone preformes and gets the job done well then everyone in the class gets a HD not just her if it goes well. personally I have lost respect for the individual in the way they handled this unnessesary situation in both a professional manner and a personal one. I will not let that affect my work with this person yet my liking of them is less because of it. As for Friday I was CCU and DA - Marcus I understand that when you direct you are very precise but for example when mim told you she was not a very capable camerman and you got annoyed with her for trying her hardest to pull off some of the most tricky moves you had going on the floor - not nice - also though this week I filled in on peter G's picnic show rehersal for first arron who was ment to be on boom until Kate turned up to take over and then realised boom was broken and then i filled in james spot as sound assist with jarred as he was a tad emotional at happy hr and let his sorrows drown a tad. And then I filled in for Alex Brown who had to run off to hockey as FM. The show was going ok the only thing I noticed that was annoying me about marks directing was that he is quite an unkind director he dosent thank people hardly as much as he should and gets quite edgy and peeved easily when he is trying to direct something difficulty and it isn't conveyed properly though his camera mans moves. sharp would be the appropriate word i think - but he gets the job done effectivly so hay other then that - no massive probs with that show. Not that its really my place to comment since im not even on that shows crew list officially but as an observer they were just a few things i noticed. Oh just for the record I know this is late I have no computer atm - and also for the notebook - I missed 2 classes because of the number of time I got shifted and shafted in the sissor-lift classes - so wasent impressed at all about that which means im not 2 weeks behind in animation which means there is no way i will be able to get ahead enough to get out of those 3 classes in which we have scholarship training which means there is prob no way in hell ill have a chance at getting it. Also for a note I think gemma and mercus etc... those 2/1st yr proddies who have had more experience should have to run as a 2nd year as even you bruce acknowlage that they have had more experience and training then we have. just as a general note. I think thats all for now so now im going to go bury myself in preperation for the turmoil that will become of this week - c.willems
ps hope this meets the standard requirement for writing bruce and makes up for some of my lesser weeks when i just had nothing to comment on.

TVP107 week 1 term 4

hi - today we did the cooking segment run though exercise first up i was an actor (5TH TIME!!!! GRRR) and then 2nd run though I was FM (YAY!!) normally when im in the afternoon group you can tell a lot of people just want to get out and go to happy hr and the energy is lacking but this time you couldn’t even tell it was arvo - everyone was excited and happy to be back and stuck into it. I think everyone is getting really psyched up about kids show now all the crap of paperwork and segments and inserts and commercials are out of the way mostly. And in the meeting that morning it was good to here that people are really going to try and push this thing hard – who cares if we flop a bit for it at least we will have tried stuff the other years haven’t tried in past years which I recon is really cool. There were a couple of things that people needed to work on - Mim you need a bit more confidence in your abilities you can do it you just need to know you can – if you stuff up you stuff up no massive thing everyone does it occasionally. Nathan YOU ARE A DISOBIDIENT TALANT!! But I love you. Pete and Marcus you both did heaps well at directing from what I could see. WELL DONE BOYS! Jason on 2nd run though even though you didn’t know that Marcus’s head set was turned off you handled it well although you should probably get your assistant to check that next time ( I now you didn’t have an assistant this run though) you still problem solved and handled it well - Lauren you need to be consistent with your time calls to whom ever is FMing you tend to call 2 mins then nothing till 30 seconds – we need a 1 min call ,you also tend to skip 30 seconds and go straight to 20 seconds other then that you did fine you can do the job its just we only have certain times to convey what’s going on to the talent through hand signals there is no 1 min 30 or 20 second hand signal – Steve you should either be applauded or shot for the use of star wipes and the amount you used in the 1st run though – gutsy!
see you next week guys ps cams good job on finally getting home set.

week 2 of hello riverina
was camera 1 today - yay - marcus was director - he did well except he tried getting a tad to creative for such a short show - the opening move he got me to do until bruce changed it was a tad queer but pther then that he did a reasonable job i think we lacked energy - well actually we had the energy we just wernt focusing it as a group enough i think was the problem more - tapes n sound needed a bit of work but generally it seemed a bit outa wack - we got through alright in the end so well done guys but step it up a bit more mabey next week - yea ? we'll show em! see you all next week x c

MPI104 assesment 2 post

Hi everyone - well its assesmnet 2 time already man how time has flown this term ill tell u what.
I think this semester i have lernt alot about using the internet - i have also learned how to pick out good and bad aesthetics and to anayze the components of a bad web page and how to make them better.I have alos started to recently work on getting new things on my blogspot - on the 7th of june i tried to put music on my web page - it worked but only if the file is already on the computer that the site is being located on - as in i managed to link a music file
from my computer to be played when i viewed my blog on my computer i am currently working on how to make that file play permantley on my site on ANY computer like i have done with my myspage page. - my site is quite intereesting as it gives anybody who wants it an insite into my life which is quite querky at times and some of the posts show just how weird it is for example Sunday 3rd of June - Nightly Adventures , Tuesday April 10th - hollidays entry 1 , April 16th/17th - hollidays entry 2 , The Kerambrells story written by Clare Wood and Chloe Willems - yet to be finished being typed up as clare currently is doing illistrations for chapters 1 - 3 and then will send the book to me for chapters 4 - 6 - so keep holding your breath for the rest , just a few of my more socially interesting and creative posts - they may look long and boaring but they are full - better them me just shoving a bunch of pics on and saying here is me n so n so at so n so's event drinking blah blah blah - boaring you want to check out my life in pictures see my flickr account site and you can see my home, adventerious and social life there. i think my site is aesthetically pleasing as the colours match yet still stand out - they are all part of the same colour spectrum - no colour clashes - its no ugly shape wise it ha good flow for the eye to follow its quite easy to get around and find thigs, it has a FEW pictures, i used black as my base backgroun colour as any spectrum i chose to change my blogger to in the future black would go with and it would stand out on - also it suggests class underneath the fun colours infront. - a nice balance . Through my delicious account i have contacted people and found new peoples blogs etc.. i have from those blogs joined facebook - and found a friend whom i thought i had lost contact with years ago when his mum pulled him out of school unexpectadly and moved away - but we've been in contact alot now and its nice to knwo we are still friends even after all these years. its thanks to being able to surf from 1 persons blog contacts,sites and photos to anothers that i was able to find him again.
So thats what i have learned and have found interesting and told you why i think some of the things on my pages are interesting to others - chloe willems

Aesthetics MPI104



Aesthetics is basically how beautiful and pleasing to the eye something is in a wed sence this means pretty much how good a webpage looks and why - some attributes to Aesthetics are colour, light, textures, the flow of objects around the page - easy for the eye to follow, and many more.Aesthetics are very improtant when it comes to web design as you cannot lure your customers in with any of the other 5 sences so (well you can use sound but only if its effective) so Aesthetics to the eye are extreemly improtant.

an example of a wed design gone bad would be Brown University the colours are atrotious and clash horribly, they have the most unattractive picture of a person they could find as the header - the pages dosent flow in any way and is just boaring - deffinatly NOT a good web page -

an example of a good web design would be The Walt Disney site this site is very Aestheticly pleasing its colours blend together beautifully all objects are well placed and shapes flow nicley allowing the yee to follow the flow of the page wel it is easy to use nd look at overall a very good web page.

TVP assesment 1

hay - well this week i was ccu which is kinda good coz i was feeling quite ill - i thought it was going to be really scary but it was actually ok and not as bad as it looked although it takes alot of concentration and a cool head.i thought we worked really well as a group and our director pushed us in ways we havent been pushed before so that was really good i think everyone got alot out of it. we did have a few flaws like sound needed to be a bit faster and some minor stuff ups with cards etc.. but all in all it was pretty good. so yay 1 down 3 to go n ill see you all next week. check out how a CCU works

TVP105 post week 3

was camera today everyone did pretty well no major screw ups YAY!! energy need ot be up a little bit more but i think thats just due to us being 1/2 asleep witch is no excuse in this industry i know but we are 1st yrs and we are learning to sleep on demand. which i know is still no excuse but we will get ther i have hope yet ! anywya i did ok on camera i think although i must learn to be more fluid when moving the camera or just gain another 50kg and then i wont have to build up arm mussles to move it - also coughing to death dosent help cheers to damo for his "cure" btw hahaha c you all next week for assesment -
ps. gemma good job on stuffing up tapes im sure if it hadent happened to you it would have happened to some1 during assesment so well done u handled it well.

TVP105 post

well this friday in studio we did MUCH better then we did last week - i think last week we were trying to work as individuals and not as a team also the races were on and half the pplz diodnt turn up and the other half wantde to go - i donno y i find the races quite boaring to be honest i was happy being in studio i spose thats y i id a good job n didnt get yelled at. but this week as talant i could sit back n see how every1 was working as a team audio were a bit slow to begin with but got better as we went along not great but not bad eaither - 1 of the cams needed some more confidence but other then that they did well fm needed to be much louder and bolder but that will come in time im sure - he just isant a very loud person generally which isant always bad we need some1 who is quieter coz if we had every1 in studio as loud as a fm should be then wede be screwed! over all tnhough good energy thoughout the whole session and we worked together as a team - well done pplz!

rss and xml

rss according towikidpedia is "RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.
Users of RSS content use software programs called "feed readers" or "feed aggregators". The user subscribes to a feed by entering a link of the feed into the reader program. The reader can then check the user's subscribed feeds to see if any of those feeds have new content since the last time it was checked, and, if so, retrieve that content and present it to the user.
The initials "RSS" are variously used to refer to the following standards:
Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0)
RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
RSS formats are specified in XML (a generic specification for data formats). RSS delivers its information as an XML file called an "RSS feed," "webfeed," "RSS stream," or "RSS channel".
XML according to wikidpedia is "he Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a general-purpose markup language.[1] Its primary purpose is to facilitate the sharing of data across different information systems, particularly via the Internet.[2]
It is a simplified subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), and is designed to be relatively human-legible. By adding semantic constraints, application languages can be implemented in XML. These include XHTML,[3] RSS, MathML, GraphML, Scalable Vector Graphics, MusicXML, and thousands of others. Moreover, XML is sometimes used as the specification language for such application languages.
XML is recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium. It is a fee-free open standard. The W3C recommendation specifies both the lexical grammar, and the requirements for parsing."

I chose to do a google reader account because according to joe its better so i did. it also seems the best coz i use google like everyday - it is how i find out whats happening in the big wide world.

I went to the new local gym with mum that shes joined and ended up training the physical trainer - talk about lack of inner body strength! oh hes strong n mussely just dosent know how to use his mussles to his advantage - works against them if you know what i mean so i coached him - he was gonna pay me 2!but being nice i said nar- what else - oh im not being trated as a guest or a family member in my house im confused - im not a guest but according to my fam i dont live here - so wthell? confused! as far as im concerned i live here so pft! anyway here is Puff the Magic Dragon Lyrics - i lernt to play it on the recorder today - enjoy!
Puff The Magic Dragon
1) Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea , and frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee. Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff, and brought him strings and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff.
CHORUS
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea , and frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee. Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea , and frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee.
2) Together they did travel, on a ship with billowed sail, Jackie kept a lookout perched upon Puff’s gigantic tail. Nobel kings and princes, would bow whenér they came, Pirate ship would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name ..Oh!
CHORUS
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea , and frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee. Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea , and frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee.
3) Dragons live forever, but not so little boys, painted wings and giant wings made way for other toys. One gray night it happened Jackie Paper came no more, and Puff that mighty dragon he ceased his fearless roar ..Oh!
CHORUS
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea , and frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee. Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea , and frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee.
4) His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain, Puff no longer went to play along the Cherry Lane. Without his life long friend, Puff could not be so brave, so Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave.. Oh!

The Karambrells - a story written by Clare wood and Chloe Willems

The Kerambrells by Clare Wood and Chloe Willems – a short story written while journeying through New Zealand’s heartland of adventure!

Through the southern alps of new Zealand journeys 2 faithful friends on their backs were packs filled with enough food and water to last them many days.
These 2 creatures were known to other common magical folk as Kerambrells. Kerambrells are as short as dwarfs yet as graceful as some of the younger Elvin folk. Their magical power comes from deep within the Earths core from which all life is created. Their mission on this tramp was to save the world I know that sounds slightly dramatic and even they didn’t realize what the consequence of their failure could be but the situation was truly dire…

Chapter 1
“Shhh…be careful Brilglar” “What do you think I’m trying to do Dayglin? This was your stupid idea in the first place…you should be up here not me!” “Just shut your gob and hurry up will you – I don’t want to be caught by humans anymore then you do – just throw down some wood and lets get going, we’ve got to be in the lower hills before dark.” Brilglar lifted a small piece of wood from the pile and groaned softly. “What’s the problem now?” Dayglin hissed squinting upwards into the darkness “they’re heavy! We wont be able to carry more then one at a time – it’ll take hours to carry enough to the hills to start a decent fire” Brilglar complained “We’d best get started then” Dayglin said with a resigned sigh.
Suddenly they herd a noise from not to far off. “What’s that sound Dayglin?” Brilglar asked cautiously “I don’t know sounds like an animal – do you think that means humans are about?” Dayglin replied softly back, grunting with effort as they continued on around the corner of the barn with their incredible load. “Ärghhhhhhhhhh!!!” Brilglar suddenly screamed as something wet and sloppy touched the back of his neck he dropped his end and sent Dayglin sprawling in the dust. “What is it now?” Dayglin asked angrily getting up and dusting himself off…”oh Brilglar..” and with that he burst out laughing and at the sound of such merriment the little sheep (only ¾ grown yet still taller then the Kerambrells by at least a half a head) crawled out from behind the barrel where Brilglar’s shrill cry had scared it off to. “Honestly Brilglar” Dayglin playfully scolded a smile still playing around his lips “to be frightened of such as innocent a creature as this – what would the lads back home think” he said shaking his head and laughing again at the thought. Brilglar went red and silently cursed the little sheep and scolded his own cowardice. “Hurry up Dayglin! We haven’t got time to wait for you to finish you joke” Snapped Brilglar “Ï said hurry up!” “Alright, alright calm down” said Dayglin as he picked up his end of the little log straining with the effort “This would all be so much easier if we could use the power” “I know” agreed Brilglar “but the Karambra said we couldn’t use it and that we defiantly don’t want to be noticed do we? We’d best just get going” he said in calmer tones regretting having snapped at his friend earlier.
As they awkwardly shuffled the log along the lamb started to follow them curiously its head tipped a little to the side as though it was trying to understand the situation. Suddenly it sprang up on the bank around them and stood on the path blocking their way. “What do you want?” grunted Brilglar glaring at the lamb. Ï think he wants to come with us” answered Dayglin smiling wistfully at the thought. “you know…” he continued “having that lamb along might not be such a bad idea” “WHAT! Are you mad Dayglin or just thick in the head” “No seriously think about it – he could pull some of these little logs up the hill for a start and he could carry some of our supplies and when he gets a little bigger we could probably even ride him, it would make the quest much faster and remember the instructions the Karambra gave us – Hurry there hurry back, find the children and bring them back – alive if possible!” He repeated it in a know it all monotone. This made Brilglar pause “Well…..maybe your right…I suppose we could bring it along for…for the children’s sake” he added hurriedly. “What ever were doing we have to do it now being this close to a human settlement is putting me on edge. “Hadn’t noticed” Dayglin murmured under his breath. So they found some long pieces of vine in the scrub and tied 3 little logs to the potty lamb fastening them with a strong vine around the middle and over its front legs then they picked up their own piece and set off into the night.

Chapter 2
A shrill call pierced the air and Brilglar woke with a start. He looked around at the dew glistening on the ground and down to the early morning mist settled down in the valley, hiding the river they had to cross. “Good morning Brilglar” Dayglin called from over at the fire. “Come and eat up, we’ve got a big day ahead of us…” The smell of the roots was making Brilglar’s mouth water so he hurried over and started to eat. As soon as they’d eaten they untied the lamb from the tree where they’d left him for the night, and set off down the hill, the lamb gallivanting and springing around them.
The day passed by slowly even though they were making good time, then the boredom slowly set in, causing them to worry about what may lie ahead in their quest. Finally Dayglin summoned up the courage to ask what they were both thinking “What do you think happened to the children?” he tentatively asked Brilglar. Brilglar took his time in answering. “Some say that the sorceress Morgana has escaped her icy prison and others are saying that the dragons in the hills are once more awakening, which could mean doom for us all if its true.” “I didn’t ask what everyone else has been saying I asked what you think about it.” Dayglin persisted. “Honestly I don’t know” Brilglar replied. “All I know is what you know – that the children from Kerambrell villages all over the countryside have been disappearing and no one knows why or how – that’s why the Kerambra sent out the scouting parties like us to try and track them down and get some answers, so in answer to your question, I don’t know what I believe but I do know that whatever is happening to those kids it cant be good for anyone so we’d better be prepared for it.” “I know its selfish of me but I cant help hoping that we aren’t the ones to find something” said Dayglin glumly, “I don’t think I’d be much good at fighting a dragon.” “We wouldn’t have to fight it single handed though Dayglin, all we have to do is find it then report back to the Kerambra. The warriors can do the fighting – its their job not ours.” Reassured Brilglar. “Yeah that’s true I guess” said Dayglin his face brightening slightly, “you know I think we will make it to Razor Ridge by dark if we keep going at this pace and we can camp at the base for the night.”

Chapter 3
As the light faded into early evening our two companions arrived at the bottom of Razors Ridge. “My feet are killing me!” Dayglin complained for the hundredth time. “Me too- but at least we don’t have to carry the cooking supplies, it was a good idea of yours to bring that lamb along, he’s a sturdy little fellow if I ever did see one. We really should think of a name for him,” replied Brilglar giving the lamb a quick pat on the head. “I already did” replied Dayglin with a cheeky grin on his face. “His name is Sprightly.” “Sprightly? Sprightly...well it works I suppose” agreed Brilglar with a slight nod. The next day they faced a long and treacherous climb where the slightest slip could bring their demise. Dark clouds started to move in from the horizon as the 2 travelers and their trusty little lamb carefully made their way up the ridge. A short time later it started to rain , and thunder rolled around the mountains, echoing and building upon itself as it did, creating a strange sound that seemed to spilt the mountains in two! “We cant keep going in this weather!” cried Brilglar through the torment. “We’ll have to find shelter!” “Where though?” returned Dayglin, “Wait! What about up there – is that a cave?” he continued pointing to what appeared to be an opening in the rocks about a hundred meters up the ridge. The going was slippery and perilous but after what seemed like an age of dodging rain drops the size of golf balls that railed against our little travelers like bullets knocking them slightly breathless with each major hit and avoiding slight rock falls where lightening found itself striking the cliff face the two Kerambrells and their lamb, (who by now was not exactly living up to his name of Sprightly – more like Spongy for all the water his coat had soaked up in the blast of the storm,) gratefully and wearily found themselves climbing into the mouth of the dark yet dry and sheltered cave.
“I’m soaked through” moaned Brilglar, shivering. “I know, we wont be able to light a fire though all the wood will be drenched!” replied Dayglin, “lets just get out of our wet clothes” he murmured but Brilglar had already started to do just that. The two Kerambrells were soon dry and huddled together trying to warm up sprightly edged towards them and tried to snuggle in too, but since his coat was still dripping with rain, Brilglar had other ideas and pushed his away. “The inside of his coat will be dry even if the outside is wet” he said as Dayglin started to protest on the lambs behalf. To this Brilglar quickly added seeing Dayglins face. “The rest of his flock will still be out in this rain – he’s lucky to have shelter at all.” “You might be right, but you wouldn’t like it if-…” Dayglin began to reply, then paused, “What was that?” They crept deeper into the cave and strained their ears until they were ringing but did not here the unusual sound again. Suddenly Sprightly leaped forward into the darkness bleating loudly. “Sprightly come back!” Dayglin called after him urgently. After about 5 minutes the little lamb came trotting back out carrying something in his mouth. “Come on lets get back to the cave – its colder down here.” That night they slept restlessly. In the morning they discovered what the lamb had found and it astonished them both. The lamb was very happy with himself. “Brilglar…is that…?” Dayglin asked his companion with big round eyes. “I believe it is Dayglin” Brilglar answered hoarsely – finding his throat had suddenly gone dry. “But how could it have gotten here?” wondered Dayglin out aloud “Quick Brilglar we have to find the child who was wearing it.” “Wait a moment lets take it outside just to check – now that the storms over.” Suggested Brilglar heading to the caves mouth pulling Dayglin along with him. As soon as they got it into the sunshine they knew they’d been right. The stitching and design of the tiny glove were undoubtedly Kerambrell, and as they looked over and saw the tiny initials that assured them that the glove had been made by a tailor in their own town – almost certainly one of the missing children.
