N.E.mation! 8 call for entries!

Walt Disney and Mickey!

Remember that time I went to Disneyland for free*… The actual Universal studios in the USA and so many animation companies…? WELL YOU CAN TOO! Because it’s time for…

N.E.mation! 8

N.E.mation! 8 yaaay! This year’s theme is Because You Played a Part. What does it mean? It means:

30 years of security and stability as a nation was built upon everyone’s efforts.We stood with each other through the good times and bad, overcoming challenges and celebrating our successes. We are able to enjoy what we have in Singapore today because each of us has played a part, in building this nation, our home.

Look what last year’s winners get to do. IT IS for winning N.E.mation! 7

How do you even join this? Or what is this even? Click the poster to see how.

The call for entry!

Yess. It’s just takes you to form a team of 3 to 4 students from your school, register online at http://nemation.sg and submit your story ideas by 21 August 2013, 1pm.

You have to be a student of a Secondary School, Junior College or a  Centralised Institution. Plus you must be a Singaporean or a Singapore Permanent Residents.

What you don’t have to know is how to animate! No worries on that because if you’re in, THEY will teach you how!

So you’ve grabbed your friends, you want to do this but don’t know how to start? The people behind N.E.mation! 8 has given you some resources like:

1. View the Free online Story Workshop at http://nemation.sg/story/
2. Receive coaching on your story ideas when we visit you in school, or when you attend our Public Story Clinic session*!
*The option to choose your preferred Public Story Clinic session is available when you register online. 83% of all past N.E.mation! Top 10 teams attended this same Story Clinic session and this is why you need it too!

OK, so what if you can’t form a team or if you’re not a student? NOT TO WORRY, you still can win some goodies with their Share Your Story competition. HO HO HO HO HO.

Share Your Story!

There are 2 rounds for this and the last day is 11 August for the FIRST round okay? You have the long holiday to just come up with something and ENTER.

So, don’t regret entering either of the two competitions because this year you can play a part. Hah, GET IT? Anyway, you could be one of the finalists like how these teams were last year in N.E.mation! 7.

Bonus: Food and Commentary

This post will have mainly food pictures from my journey from Singapore to the USA and back again.

Warning: Do not read this unless you’ve had your breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack.

It’s mainly a food picture spam post. Flight meals are all by SIA and they’re all great. If you want my commentary, haha skip to the bottom of the post after ALL the pictures!

N.E.Mation: Escape to New York!

This is the ultimate New York post.

It’s going to be the longest ever cause we packed all these activities in three days before we left the USA.

As usual, to enlarge the photos, click on them.

First, we got ourselves a Metro card which is what they use there for the trains.

A note, some of the machines only take credit cards and it’s pretty annoying that you can only buy the cards or top them up one by one. There’s no multiple purchases like our own machines! Oh well.

N.E.mation: Universal Studios, the VIP Tour!

Why yes, going to Universal Studios is part of the “win a chance to go to the USA” bit in N.E.Mation. Not only that, we got on the FREAKING VIP TOUR! GASP! GASPTASTIC MAX.

A note.

If you are ever thinking of going to Universal Studios in Los Angeles aka Universal City aka where they freaking make the shows and movies, I would advise you to get the VIP tour tickets.

They’re much more expensive than the regular tickets but it is so verily worth it since you finish EVERYTHING in one day plus get catered food and exclusive access to some places with it.

If you’re just going to be there for one day and not to return to Universal until years later or something, just get the VIP tour tickets.

Another note: This is going to have quite a lot of pictures so if you want to see bigger details, just click on them and they’ll enlarge!

With that, let’s begin.
