Well, this is seriously Sarah and that's all you need to know for now.

HSWG #4 reminder!

It’ll be at Geek Terminal (55 Market Street).

Time: 2pm till 4.30pm (but we tend to be really early or stay till near closing time)

Date: 18th April 2009

Agenda:

  • Sci-fi story
  • General editing of own stories
  • Or Script Frenzy writing
  • Any of the upcoming short story competition deadlines discussions
  • Randomness of bookish things

Oh since I’ll be there (probably slightly late than normal since I’ll be going to an open house before that) at the cafe, SFers can get their stickers from me too if you’re around in the area.

Next posty on Seriously Sarah up on Monday regarding… DUH DUH DUUUH, Levis’ Shoebox competition.

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!

Mentor Access Project applications (update with forms!)

Hey remember my post about the MAP earlier on and that you had to email to ask for the latest application form? I emailed and since I’m sure it might get spammy or anything to them, I’ve decided to upload it so you guys can have it too.

Oddly, I can’t find the announcement of MAP on the NAC site. I got the first info via my sgarts email so it was posted by someone who had the “official” statement and all. How weird. I must have missed the webpage or something.

Oh yeah, since I was interested in plays, I asked to clarify regarding the “one play” in their requirements for the people to peruse. Apparently it can be any length as long as it shows how you write and all. So a ten minute or a sixty minute one etc is pretty fine. Of course, any further questions just email them at mentoraccess@yahoo.com .

Meanwhile the summarized info:

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:

HSWG #3 recap (plus minor Script Frenzy promo)!

So it was last Saturday (as always) and this time, we’ve got Maya coming by to meet us! She’s actually a nanowrimo-er too! Anywhooo, a little recap goes like this:

  • We’re gonna have something for the Singapore Writers’ Festival.
  • Gosh, darn. We’re hoping to finish and confirm things by early June so the NAC people can put it in their programme. We have a list but we want to make it neat for them.
  • Nerwen and me fangirled over Maya’s book, The Undercover Tai Tai because it is awesome and why are you not reading it yet? It’s funny, chic lit and well… FUN.
  • It always rains the day we have meetings at Geek Terminal.
  • Oh and we got our copies autographed by Maya since she was there.

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!
