New Year's Eve Party

New Year's Eve BBQ

Change of Plans :

My dad will be treating and my mom will make the preparations like marinating the meat and etc. Remember Kenyir's BBQ? Yeah, I think you guys can expect the same food from that time.

RM20 contribution can go to drinks, anyone for wine?

I will still need the BBQ EQs, my dad said that we can use his Hilux for transport since Lennard says his pit is huge or something. I dunno, the only problem now is the EQ. Lol.

Special Effects

List of special effects we will need to research, consult Hooi Ling and study :

- Explosions - With Variations, from the mushroom to vehicle explosions
- Liquid for Liquid A & for U92 fishbowl
- nCloth(?) - for Denver's Pockets
- Smoke - after effect of nuclear & pollution from factories.
- Electricity - Power plant scene if we still have it & Liquid A's background
- Debris / Dirt(Blastcode) - This is for the after explosion, and also a nice touch to have here and there.
- Fog
- Strong dusty wind thingie, usually occur when an explosion takes place. Amir mentioned this, only thing I could suggest is using planar planes with textured wind / dust.
- Glass, oh yes, glass, cracking. Yes, cracking. o.o
- Glow - For U92
- Flying Ranina ranina.(Google it if you don't know : D)
