Five days until final output/mastering of Women's Studies.
Post Sound Super Sean Russell and Composer Ryan Sayward turned in their final audio mix early Monday morning. Colorist Aaron Shirley is the last stop and he has just a few more color tweaks and some VFX work to do. Friday, we'll meet to watch it on a big screen to catch any nagging color issues. Also, Sean and Ryan will get a disk tomorrow to check for any last minute audio notes.
It's crazy to think the movie is this close to being finished. It seems like I've been working on it forever. Cast and crew started shooting almost a year ago. (May 29, 2007) Preparations and pre-production had been going on for well over a year before that. For the past two-and-a-half years, my single minded goal has been to get this film completed.
And now it's almost over.
I hear somebody saying, "Don't jinx it!" Really though, even if there was some cataclysmic act of god like Aaron Shirley's hard drive getting obliterated, the film's completion would only be delayed by a few weeks. (Fear not. Aaron, along with everyone else working post, has extensive back-ups.)
My role of late has been largely administrative. There's been a lot of approving things or asking for changes. Sean, Ryan, Aaron, and Editor Jim McGivney have been the soldiers in the trenches getting it done for you and me. They've been exceptional.
If all goes well, and it looks like it will, next week's blog will be the first with Women's Studies completed*.

chongjinlong:
da jia hao
ni hao
anastasia:
huh?
tongzi:
huh?
leonholeonyoon:
sorry?
[!! this one is super funny.]
tiong:
aye,i think i am rather lonely in poning lectures,can some of my classmates pon with me someday?
daniel daos.
lisyn daos.

what are the SECOND words people have to say for the class?
chongjinlong:
i love 6v
<333333333
daniao'er:
huh??
hmm...
i love you 6V!!!! MUACKIES!!!!
for wad??
stupid kid [phua yanqi]:
ok. I LOVE 6V! haha can anot. for what ah.
shuzong:
hi ppl lol
i Love regina Ha.ha.ha
annie:
i blocked the class.
tongzi:
time flies, it has been a few months since we came together. we have to treasure the remainding one and half years in college. i will miss 6V during june holidays!
[omg this one's really funny too]
tiong:
hmm
thank youall,for not telling the teachers i am not there for lectures
lisyn continues to dao.
leon daos.
---------------------------------------------------------------
due to overwhelming response [from myself]
i requested tiong to give me three more things he wants to say
here goes,
1. prison break 3 is starting tmr 10pm
2. watch me as micheal schofield breaking the prison
3. i love lion king lol
lol. darn funny. wanted to interview him but he's going off soon so i promise a longer interview tmr when we meet up for PW.
okay let me analyse what he had said okay. i've decided to focus on the second point.
there are 3 fallacies in his statement.
i think it is spelt as michael.
and regarding 'watch me as micheal schofield', we must first ask him if he thinks micheal schofield is shuai, if he thinks so, then?!?!?! "watch me"!?!?! "as micheal schofield"?!?!!?! under lying meaning ah tiong don't think i don't know...
and then last fallacy: 'breaking the prison'??!?! don't you break out of it?
okay i've done my part. love to all.
studyhard smart for block test. applies to all except tongzi mothi and chongjinlong.
ps: shao nian yang jia jiang is showing now!
omg eddie peng [peng yuyan] is so cuuuute!

Birthday Girl
Unbelievably, my daughter turns six years old today. The painting above was done when she was four, and I never got around to finshing it. I doubt I'll do any more work on it though, since I would rather do a new one if I can ever find the time.
Today also sees the release of Captain America #38, but there will be no cake involved-
the owj farewell
Time passed like an arrow. Before we know 0.25 of our college years [to 2dp] have alr gone past.
consider the following reaction mechanism:
08s6v (s) + Legendary HuangJinLong Mugging (g) + Godlight TimTay Brains (aq) -} A level 1mBa results (g)
step 1: 08s6v (s) + Legendary HuangJinLong Mugging (g) + Godlight TimTay Brains (aq) -} Owj (aq) + Nintendo Wii (s) [slow]
step 2: Owj (aq) + Nintendo Wii (s) -} A level 1mBa results (g) [fast]
And hence even much before we can obtain consistent A level chem results by swirling the solution continuously during titration, our beloved chemistry teacher Mr Ong Wei Jian is leaving our class as an intermediate in the rate of reaction.
Mr ong! Thanks for your effort! The products of the reaction would be good results, where ΔH is bigger than 0 [exothermic]
So 6v put the equation to the test. Daniel profmok ouxiang yanqi tantalisyn papa went wii-ing under the guidance of the Great Buddha on Vesak Day at the holy land of Ang Mo Kio ave 8 block 512.
And after that we went eating beside the place where mr ong received his scholarship, which is the A* Coffeeshop
Dont think this drink is simple. In fact you can learn alot of chemistry from it. *Demostrates by drinking* Now you all must also try applied chemistry with your aqueous drinks.
Can calculate the... Ah i dont know. how..
Looks at tantalisyn for help.
"Stupid kid. No wonder lose to jinlong.."
SIDE STORY
Tiong what you doing?
Ah BotakHead Jinlong?! Wahahaha change of luck! No wonder your GP marks NUMBER ONE in class. from the back. haha
OK COME BACK. LOL.
Ah! Sou desu ne! We can calculate the enthalpy change of the japanese tradition of drinking!
Discusses with prof mok...
And brings to you. The Japanese Tradition of drinking! [please watch the main one on sushi in the prev post before watching this for the full effect]
Besides having introduced such a heavenly product like the nintendo wii to the class of 6v, Mr ong was also "a pioneer in the field of AOSA" He spearheaded the S'pore AOSA committee and established it into a worldwide sport that cld be observed anywhere today. Today, mr ong is an "internationally recognised key peronnel in the industry" and "is often invited to be a judge in international competitions"
[All quotes are directly from Mr GNA WII HIONG. CEO CHONG HWA INSTITUTE [college section]
Let us learn abit of footwork from one of the greatest masters of the AOSA
[Disclaimer: Some of the moves featured are highly advanced and you are advised not to try it. Kids under the age of Yanqi should not try it at home]
1) Standard position at S.t.p.
2) Leg on table variant
3) X-legged variant
4) Forward step technique
5) Heel-to-toe Cross country styled
6) Wall levitation
And besides all that greatness. We are very happy each lesson for it feels like Xmas was fast forwarded. With chocos everytime. Gah! thanks mr ong!
Gygi expresses her gratitude by savoring the 66% dark chocolate. hmm yummy!
Target! Top 3 non SMTP Class! Lets GOGOGO!
Ah. but before that. Can we like have another class thingy. Invite mr ong along since we wont see him tt often anymore. Except prolly when very sian go high school eat:)

Tsubasa Kuragaki, Kaori Watanabe, Velvet McIntyre, Jaguar Yokota
Here's a couple more pics of female wrestling in Japan.
First, Tsubasa Kuragaki wrestling Kaori Watanabe. Again with the half crab...LOL
Then an old school pic of Velvet McIntyre wrestling Jaguar Yokota.
Looks like they are locked up in a test of strength.

Rally Caps Are On
12 days until final output/mastering of Women's Studies.
Meetings, meetings, meetings.
I've had meetings with various post-production crew members almost every day since late last week. Music mostly, but color got Sunday night out of me. And sound gets some more love today before I head back to hopefully wrap up that fickle mistress music tonight.
It's been a stressful week for multiple reasons. A lot of difficulties, disputes, and delays popped up late in the week. For a couple days I thought that the crew and I were going to have to postpone the final mastering. However, this fantastic crew rose to the occasion and rallied around the project. In fact, they pretty much carried me through the weekend which is rather awesome. Despite my best efforts, these guys just won't let me fuck this movie up.
Where do things stand?
According to an email I received when I woke up this morning, Post Sound Supervisor Sean Russell pulled a seventeen hour shift yesterday "seeding" (putting in place) the first half of the music for Women's Studies in the timeline with his Foley, ADR, SFX, and production audio tracks. Over 120 tracks in all. (!) At the time of this writing, he's catching a few Zzzs before heading back in to continue mixing everything down.
Tonight is my final spot check of Composer Ryan Sayward's music. There were a couple sequences that we both wanted to play with some more. I'll see those tonight and sign off on them. Then, Ryan will head over to studio with Sean and seed the music for the last half of the movie.
I saw the first pass of Aaron Shirley's color correction on Sunday night and it's looking really good. Most of the coloring in Women's Studies consists of simply color matching and balancing, making sure the colors are consistent form shot to shot. There are a couple scenes where we'll use color for effect. Aaron actually worked those out first and it's quite nice. This week is digital Visual FX week. Don't worry. Han still shoots first. Almost all of the VFX in Women's Studies is color based and correctional.
I'm growing old before your very eyes! Less than two more weeks and I can relax . . . a little bit. Okay, no. That's not true. When the film is done, a whole new world opens up.

Sketchbook 001
I've been meaning to do this for a while, so here it goes. I've finally started actually sketching on a (semi) daily basis in my little tiny sketchbook. Whenever I manage to get a couple of pages filled up I'll be inflicting them on you here. Bear in mind that I may spend less than 5 minutes at a time drawing in this thing, so it could be a while before I actually fill up two pages. Also, as today's post shows, I may get the urge to do some color experiments after they get scanned in.
All of this is due mainly to the inspiration of guys like Dylan Teague and Edward Kinsella (among others), who do some amazing sketchbook pages. Plus, I'm hoping I can snap myself out of the artistic rut I've been in.
By the way, when you click on thumbnail above, the image you'll see is the actual size of the sketchbook.
The Japanese Traditions
sorry abit lag with posts.
Haha. Recently guys of 6v kill 2 daniaos with 1 stone.
Live the japanese tradition of the ninjutsu. "Every japanese can do that" Just that we do a modernisation pw. so become urban ninja
den we go tekong that time quite scared. so we need practise for the 2m wall.
At this rate, we practising every friday, by BMT confirm plus guarantee can clear with ease.
Enjoy our BMT training with japanese tradition.
Do also check out other Japanese traditions.

Soothing the Savage Beast
19 days until final output/mastering of Women's Studies.
Early this morning, I picked up the "master" DV file of the entire film from Colorist/VFX Artist Aaron Shirley and delivered it to Post Sound Supervisor Sean Russell. Up to this point, Sean has been working on the film in eight separate "reels," nine if you count the end credits. Though still in the middle of recording Foley, Sean can now pull his eight separate ProTools sessions into one master session in preparation for mixing which begins next week.
Look! Here's Natalie Apuzzo, our Foley Walker/Artist stabbing melons. Why on earth would she be doing that?
On Saturday, Cindy and I met with Composer Ryan Sayward and for the very first time watched Women's Studies in it's entirety with music. It was a pretty exciting and fulfilling, yet surreal experience. For the first time in a very long time, I felt like I was watching a movie I hadn't worked on. It was a pretty good feeling to get swept up in the mood of the scenes again. After seeing the film more times than I care to count, I've become a little numb to the emotional impact it can have. If you can't tell, I'm really happy with the music.
Ryan has also picked out some "needle drop" songs from local music artists to use as background music in parts of Women's Studies. "Not Alone" by Redshift will be featured at the beginning of the film. "Barcelona" by Soft Complex as well as a remix of their song "Beat the Chill" will also be included.
I feel good about where we're at. Sure, we've still got six weeks of work to do in less than three, but if this was easy everybody would be doing it, right?

Convention Update
In case you may have missed the announcement today, I will be appearing (along with Captain America writer Ed Brubaker) at Heroes Con in Charlotte June 20-22. I currently plan to be there Friday and Saturday only, but if that changes I'll update it here. Shelton always puts on one of the best shows in the country and I'm looking forward to returning this year.
UPDATE: I've received several requests for advance commissions and unfortunately, my schedule simply won't allow it at this time. Also, several people have e-mailed me hoping to get on the sketch list before the show. I appreciate the time and effort it sometimes takes to get a convention sketch and wish I could accommodate everyone, but I want to try to be fair, so the sketch list will be on a first come-first served basis on the day of the show. I'll do my best to do as many sketches as possible, and look forward to seeing you all in Charlotte.
UPDATE 2: Sorry, I won't be doing sketches of naked superheroes either.
Also - On sale this week - The Death Of Captain America Vol 2 is out in Premiere Hardcover format reprinting CAPTAIN AMERICA #31-36.

The Speed of Sound
26 days until final output/mastering of Women's Studies.
Sound has been the name of the game recently. As mentioned before, Post Sound Supervisor Sean Russell and I have been recording ADR pretty much every night for the past two weeks. Yesterday was the last session, though we'll likely have to bring Cindy Marie Martin (Mary) back in for one more night of catch-up.
This week, Sean is editing all the ADR and production dialogue while also adding background ambiance to give verisimilitude to the scenes. Today, he's finishing his Foley spotting session, and will then begin recording Foley and adding sound effects which will take up the better part of the next ten days.
Over the weekend, I'll visit Composer Ryan Sayward and hear the Women's Studies soundtrack for the first time with the movie. I'll give notes and Ryan will spend another week making any creative adjustments needed. Then, Sean and Ryan will get together in the studio and add in the music. Once we all agree that the music, Foley, sound FX, and dialogue are all what we want, Sean will begin the final mixdown.
The energy is high because 26 days is a ridiculously short time to try and get all this done, especially with two people doing all the work. While everyone is a wee bit nervous, we're also very excited. It's starting to come together and isn't half bad either. The end is near, and that's the fuel keeping everyone moving.

Iron Man 2
Another piece of Iron Man liscencing art from 2004 (again, I only supplied the pencils) that was painted by Scott Johnson -
(click images to enlarge)
The Iron Man figure and the cityscape background were done separately so that the background could possibly be used many times with different characters.
