SMIC Movie Industry Club

Hi everybody,

I am sorry for a sudden email, but we have just decided (yet another) a change of plans. After deep consideration, we decided to set up another stand – Tortilla stand. Thus, the new groups will be:

Korean Stand
Leader – Paul
Members – Yin, Shirley, Cathy, Dongho, Jason, Simon, Eunjin, Yoonjoo, Vera, Nathan, Felicia, Daisy

Tortilla Stand
Leaders – PZ and Ethan
Members – Daesun, Jonathan, Micahel T, Thanakrit , Kelvin, Justine, Jephanie, Joyce, Christie, Stephany

For Middle Schoolers – please contact me, because I need to know when you have time and what you can do. (Most likely you will be helping us to advertise)

I realized the Korean stand has already had a meeting, but due to the sudden plan change, you will need another meeting .Paul has decided it to be tomorrow (Wednesday) lunchtime. Please contact him for more details.
Note: We have decided to make Korean food in Jason’s house instead of PZ’s now, and only those in Korean + whoever wanted to help need to go =)

For Tortillas Stand, we will have a meeting soon but date is still not decided. I will inform you in time, so don’t worry. We will need some people to come with PZ and Ethan to go to carrefour to buy the ingredients. Please approach us if you are free.

I am really for the changes, but I am 90% sure that there won’t be a change anymore.

On the meanwhile, Please prepare 20 kuai and give it to Ethan by Thursday for the t-shirts, and hopefully you will get it on thursday… or on early friday.

Thanks for your attention
Peter Zhang

Hey guys,

So we just had our meeting today. I am really some of you missed out, but the meeting notes will be posted on the website shortly. In this Newsletter Issue, it will be all about Sports Day Fundraising! (Oh and of course, the upcoming t-shirts)

About Sports Day Fundraising, we have decided to divide you guys into different stands – McDonald Stand, KFC Stand, and Sushi Stand, each having a different leader and jobs

(more…)

There will be a meeting held at October 7th, 2008, Tuesday after-school. We will be discussing about:

• Fundraising at Sports Day
• Film Competition Entries
• Later Projects

All members are required to attend this meeting. It is going to be held at 10B Homeroom. If you can’t make it to the meeting, please inform our secretary, Paul.

Thanks,
Peter

I took all your votes and came up with the final design. Noticed that the front is not “Movie Maker” because it just won’t make sense to have “MovieMaker” at front and “Pro MovieMaker” at back. And since ProMovieMaker has more votes than MovieMaker, I saved ProMovieMaker and made the t-shirt out of the second place for front image.

On Tuesday, September 30, from 1 pmto 4 pm, the movie club has decided to gather all Assistant Directors and any other peple interested to come and help create the ranking poster, which basically is a poster showing the position of each and one of the members. The whole time will be consisted of cutting up paper, gluing paper, decorating paper, paper…paper…paper…

Hello all,

It is time to think about the first fundraising event. I spent days trying to think of ideas that would not get rejected from Yvette. *cough*

Anyway, special thanks to Mr. D and Peter (a friend of mine. Really), I came up with a few ideas:

Dude, I just can’t describe the feeling I had when I found Celtx. It is just SO perfect for Movie Production!

This is Celtx’s website – http://www.celtx.com. Man, just look at the design! Isn’t it so great?

So what does Celtx really do? It has a screenplay writer, storyboard, Catalog (keeps track of all actors, props, etc.), production schedule, and lots of other stuff. Let me show you a few screenshots:

Hi everybody…

This is your captain speaking. We will be going home soon!
JK. Sorry, I just watched Wall-E.

Anyway, that’s not my main point. My main point is, MVC Website is BACK ONLINE.

I was bored the other day so i just Google’d for filmmaking to learn the process of it. I found this article on Wikipedia that is pretty interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_production

Basically Filmmaking has 5 stages:

• Development – Screenwritor, Director
• Pre-Production – Director
• Production – AD, Actor, Cameraman, Director
• Post-Production – Editor, Director
• Release – EVERYONE!
