Day 1: 01 June 2010

We went to visit MBC (Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation). I have learnt a lot from there as we visited their radio broadcasting studio where we learnt about how the recording (live and pre-recorded) are being carried out. They even showed us a studio where it was once used by Taeyeong from SNSD for her own recording show. We were also showed around the place where they broadcast their morning news. The place was really huge and interesting, we even learnt about the story behind the blue screen and green screen for recording. It was said that they used the green screen in Europe areas as they naturally had blue eyes.

Day 2 : 02 June 2010

Finally went to Picto Studio today! Its so much fun! We even took photo with the president of the company, which is so cool. There was also a lot of clay models around and special equipments around. I also learned that they used amateur to do the movements of the characters. It was told to us that it isn't available outside for purchase as most of time it is custom made. To substitute it, they sometimes use simple wire to construct the basic structure for the characters.
