film
whee!! missed to very impt lectures today! eckwas suppose to go for LBO morn class today but decided not to cos dun see the point in travelling nearly 2 hrs, then sit for 1hr plus lec then rush back bishan to do filming...
but i feel really bad cos i allow my laziness to rule over my motivation ...such a lame excuse....
then after film i can make it to HRM consult in time , but again excused myself cos i was tired and hungry...which was true definitely...but deepens my guilty conscience....SIGH....
forget its over...lets talk bout film!!
this is the 3rd or 4th project already i think...1st time collaborate with the 2 jasmines and did this short film on video cam with the help of samuel, jean and edmund (the actors and actress)...thanks alot! u guys were great!!! really appreciate it =)
had to make ur stand in the scorching sun, then run about with us...though we were only confined in the premises of j8...it was also very tiring...somemore we demanded quite a bit from our cast cos we use actions to make up for the lack of dailogue....hahaha....
after much brainstorming and stupid ideas...finally settled for a simple overused plot (or so i think) .... basically, in short, it's guy dumps gal for another guy! hahaha...
thank god we managed to find the actors and actress we need...or else also cannot film...
that was
one hurdle...then it was the script...that wasn't too bad either...cos it's a short film and tony wanted to test us more on technique rather than artistic value...did impromptu changes during the shoot...
the worst was the actual filming...everybody was great, cooperative and energetic...it was the stoopid security guard who kept chasing us out of j8 and restricting our space to film...it's the big hoohahh about security la...mrt stations, dept stores and many areas out of bounds...
so much so we had to resort to "hit and run" filming....hahaha....
many shots...in fact 99% were jus one take...then we had to quickly move on....sigh...
but it was all fun and exciting...hahaha...many funny moments...and it was a great experience for me...on a very small scale i get to experience what it's like to film and act and direct...cool...
our only prop was the flower i guess...a purple one...very nice!!! but the stoopid com dun let me upload the photo...nvr mind shall add later...
anyway sam bought it for 5 bucks! cos not yet v.day...think the price will prob double on that day...
sigh... v.day...one of those days i dread in a year...dread cos i'll prob be alone again...celebrate 21 yrs of lonliness...not that i dun wanna go out w frens but most them are attached!! bro work till late, floyd w gal fren, mum and dad celebrate themselves...
well at least it's a mon and not week end...
this purple rose is to all celebrating singlehood!!!!!! cheers!!!!
