Ordinatrix Ordin@trix 2009 was a Disgrace. As u all may be knowing, it was a so called Creative IT Symposium held today, 22.7.09 at Tagore Intl School, Vasant Vihar.
Let me start with the inaugral ceremony,
A. They started off half-an-hour late
B. Their Intro Video was shit
C. They have this so-called speech gal, who is an over-excited despo. I mean, she starts dancing every now and then, and there’s no end to her over-excitement. Her speech was shit. BTW, shes been giving that speech for 2 years now.
Now, their events :
A. Animatrix :
Schools had turned up with animations made using pictures and characters obtained frm the web. Being frank, ours was the onli animation which was made from scratch. And the so called judges, said that they were focusing on originality. Oh really, then it is just impossible to understand how Delhi Public School, RK Puram turned up 1st, as their anim. was copied from here and there. Hey, No Offence to DPS RKP! I respect them for everything they do, but i just have a humble feeling that they did not deserve 1st today.
B. Movieatrix :
Again, majority of the schools had videos copied from various sources, youtube etc etc, and we, in loving memory of our brother Akul Sareen, had paid a tribute to him in the form of a video for ordinatrix that was unmatchable. I m not saying it was the best, but it was surely one of the best. Damn, So much effort we had put into that video. May your soul R.I.P. Akul. These TIS VV People dont have any respect for a guy who’s expired.
C. Codeatrix, Turtleatrix, Palleteatrix :
I really cant say nything about these events, bcoz i havent watched these myself. Anyway, our skul had won the 3rd prize in each of the events. So i have nothing to say about these.
Now, Some things that i really fail to understand :
1. How do TIS VV and TIS EOK win a prize in each event every year? These TIS people dont even have the dignity for not taking the trophies and certificates for their positions. I mean, u can participate, but u cant take the trophies for urself. Thats just not good.
2.I think other schools start underperforing every year at Ordinatrix (read sarcasm). Probably it would not have been so if the TIS schools wont have taken all the trophies on their own.
3. What problem do these TIS people have if people are toking on their mobiles or for that matter, even toking to each other in the audi?
Every two minutes, a person came to us to tell us : “Please Keep Quiet”. I got so irritated.
I was indeed disappointed when to much of our sorrow, all the hard work did not pay off. I just think that the judges did not even have the foggiest notion of who Lionel Messi is or what on Earth FC Barcelona is.
And, how the hell can you give away prizes to the entries directly downloaded from Youtube et al when you boast of an entirely creative event with the judge yelling about ‘Origanality’ !
This is what we made : (I and Sopan. From scratch), Just Adobe Flash CS3 and Pivot Stickfigure Animator.
Shame.
