| Duplex Remix. |
|
Just finished a shoot last Wednesday for my Cinematography class. Exciting period Chinese rendition of an American script. I was the Art Director and part time Gaffer, and the set got me working hard indeed. Thanks to the rest of the crew and especially the cast for making it a sensational one day shoot. Rest of crew role-call: Dir-Minghui, DOP-Joseph, Cam asst-Alicia, Grip-Kexin, Sound Recordist-Miaoqin. Cast: Alex-Jason, Nancy-Ren Rong, Coop-Danny, Celine-Shiqi. Here are some behind the scenes pics.

| Processes, and quirks of being a filmmaker. |
|
Just survived the first proper processed, controlled film shoot. Working in a group is fun, but I guess it takes certain skill to manage people and urge people to do their job while maintaining your composure (haha).
Perhaps its coz the first shoot I did was only semi-controlled, I had my reservations about how the whole process had to be tightly monitored and etc (pre, production and post). But I guess these systems do have their own use, to ensure a certain result, and to help you sort out your life on large-scale productions. Like Joseph was saying "after some time of getting used to the system, you'll start to feel uncomfortable if someone comes along and does things in another way"
Shooting makes me forget time, forget myself. In fact whenever I'm engaged in Art, or most kinds of work, I tend to banish all metaphysical thoughts. Must be the workaholic in me. Maybe I like the kinda numb feeling?
Now worrying about Art History quiz tmr, eeks. Wonder what kinda trajectory should I undertake to plough through the notes..(or lack of them)
Come to me ye stories...perhaps I should go on a little photo-excursion this weekend to seek ideas. Jonathan's right, photos do inspire me (as they do to him). It is tru the capturing of a still moment that we seek to find out more about the story behind the calm, the quiet, the static. The dynamism that lies beneath, what happened before/after?
I should bring my camera out.

| 4D Finale. |
|
Yep, it's the final project of the season for 4D.
Basically the project requirement was to develop a personal system stemming from a personal definition of art, while based on a mystery you face in your everyday life. Sounds cheem? U bet...most of us didn't geddit when our dear prof first briefed us.
Anyhow, my system was to go around asking people to draw stuff for me. My instructions : "Draw anything using 5 lines and a circle."
The responses that came back were pretty exciting, and I decided to frame all of them into a hanging installation. Check back for updates =)

| This week in pictures. |
|
Yet another week flew by! Like Merv said, this sem's gg too fast. It's practically wooshing by my very eyes as I blink.
Had our 4D 'performance art' class this week. Our prof's pretty action-packed wahaha. She loves to dance n sing and play music. We got to try out some contemporary dance, although I might call it interpretive dance...haha. Resulted in us getting bruises, coz we had to 'fall'.
3D was more model-making, and my mock-up is done. Now to test the real marble rolling thingy. More pics soon.
Went on an excursion to Golden Mile Complex today for my Cities,Bodies,Memories mod. Got brought around by an architect living there. His house rox larr....altho I have a feeling my mom would complain if I had my house built to let in light and air from the balcony only, it would collect so much dust wahaha. Here's the view.
It's a cool place, did some exploring. Chia Meng got emo..and..
Got hungry and went over to Golden Mile Food Centre with Chia Meng and Shoe. Ate like crazy. had pasta,calamari, and mushrooms on french toast from Pasta Planet, then peanut soup with tangyuans, and they had beef horfun after. After that sinful meal we took a walk down to Suntec, passing by the DHL balloon on the way. And this results...
I got the whooolllee world...in my haaaands...
Heh, more pics once I rem to download them from my camera. Have a great week ahead ppl!
P.S. Vday's coming soon..watcha doing?Labels: food, school
