That time of the year

It's that time of the year again, whereby more and more students are staying back overnight in school to do projects. Not because the environment at home or hall is bad, but the softwares are only available in school labs and of course, the computers are stronger.

Just like yesterday night, a few of us stayed back overnight in the film editing lab to rush for our Sound Design project and and also to edit our footages for our films. 2 year 3s came in at around midnight or later than that, saw the few year 2s and their expressions were quite shocked, like "so late still got so many people in here?".

Then again, it can't be blamed coz mostly, it is the animators who are staying overnight everytime, but this time round, it is the filmmakers.

As time goes by, there'll be more and more people staying back and I seriously doubt there are enough workstations for all. Year 3s have their private editing suites but year 2s don't have. The only ones we have is the only film editing lab, and is commonly used by students who have taken Sound Design module and also Intro to Editing module. This means that the filmmakers are seriously lacking of workstations, even though there's only 24 of us.

I can't imagine what it is to be like when we go to year 3s, when there'll be 3 batches of filmmakers. Same goes to the animators....
