Exams - 21, 22, 23, 24
Kevin asked us to choose a chit of paper each from a bunch of them and we had to model and texture whatever we got within 5:30. I got a sub woofer and well i didn't do a great job with it. The effects of not sleeping the previous night were evident and I was drowsy for most part of the exam except the end when I had to finish it up. The texture was taking a long time and there was very little time left. So i created a texture with just black and white and therefore my whole model was just in black and white. Well.. just hope Kevin likes it... had to get some sleep, woke up around mid night to study a little for the next days exam on production management. All my classmates gathered some information and put it under the common directory so that all of us have access to the same resources which was just what I wanted cause all my notes were scattered due to my bad organization.. Didnt sleep this night either and gave my exam. The exam was intended to be 4 hrs but due to some misunderstanding, we had only 3 hrs for it which is the first half of the day. Wrote it well except the math part of it... which was 9 marks outta the 20 :| so gonna lose a chunk there. Then Alexis gave us a shock by casually saying that... I have all of you have made something intresting for the jury after lunch... And we were like WTF. None of us made any presentation or anything like that and we didn't have any time left either. Had a really quick lunch to begin work on the presentation and slept half of the lunch working on it. The jury had Alexis and Lionel as usual along with Jersey, Matthew and Kevin from animation as well. Sadly Philip was in France at this time so he wasn't around for the jury. We were really worried how this would go but once we started, it all seemed natural and me, Aman and Karl handled it well. It also gave rise to a lot of argument and debate as we had a controversial topic which was Violence in Video Games and as Alexi said in a 10 minute video, we just scratched the cover of the real issue, but everyone was happy over the job we did and we were really happy ourselves cause we prepared and managed a complete presentation in just 30 minutes. Next day was game design exam and cause we didn't know the topic there wasn't much we could have done to prepare. And the exam topic was to create a game design - version 1 with the basic idea of making a game based on the Dhoom series. We had 3 hours to think and come up with the design of the game. I made a game which had elements of racing, role playing and first person shooter mixed in. The rest of the day was just spent playing and doing time pass. Got "I am a perv! and Chankanako" written on my t-shirt by Urvashi cause I wrote some funny stuff behind her dress. Aman and me also went to buy a External Hard Drive and I bought a 1 TB maxtor hdd. Also a funny incident happend at the counter which I wont talk about, Aman got a stuffed toy for Urvashi and also picked up some chicken friend rice and chilli chicken on the way.The last exam was the viva exam of art history. After asking some basic questions on the work I did on The Gupta Art, The Evolution Of Knife And Its Connection With Rituals and a script for a short video. That it, end of exams... The rest of the day we found all of us completely bored for the first time, we have work all the time and now we find ourselves jobless for once and it was weird to handle. Also I began backing up all the personal data on my new HDD which I love :D. Also watched the movie 'L: Change The World' which is based on the Japanese anime series Death Note.
