Man, I’m pretty sure I’m losing my mojo to blog recently. Hmmm…
….
Okay let’s talk about 2011…it is pretty good overall. I did a proper filming
project with my schoolmates for Cinematography class. It took around 5 or 6
days to finish the shoot. The whole team has around 13 people. And I’m in the
lighting group, to help out with the lighting of course, haha. The whole filming
thing is pretty rewarding for me as I got to experience something I have never
try before but have always wanted to try. I must say that we are just a bunch
of students trying to create a 15 minutes plus film…getting things done the way
we want to and the way we can best get things done…hence I didn’t quite get the
“professional” experience in filming yet. But then again, apart from the
difference in equipments (those A-class filming equipments) and other areas like
professional actors, higher budget bla bla bla…I have to say this project has
really allow me to understand a lot more about filming….(the-making-part I must
emphasised)…and it is really pretty damn life-draining….and pretty damn time
and money costly. But I always enjoy to be a part of a group of people doing
something wholeheartedly…with might and passion…(haha!)…and I got this
wonderful atmosphere again while doing this project. (Yea, reminds me of the
good old days when I was playing for my sec sch basketball team and doing final
year project with my poly mates.) The final output of this film project was
pretty good…though I think the story can be much better. Well, it’s very
difficult for us to do what we know that can make the film better when we don’t
have lots of money and connection and stuff…so we always find the most
effective way to tell the story…which is just another way of saying simplifying
the parts or the whole thing to something more manageable…which leads to
lowering the output’s quality. Well, such problem and approach to overcome the
problem happens everywhere…just that the “form” is different. Right?
I still love films, more than ever. But I’m really not seeing myself
enjoying every bits of the filming process…unlike when I’m drawing. I really
like moving images edited nicely together to create drama, along with great
sound effect and music etc…but it just takes too many things to do it…(there
are much to elaborate on this, but I’m fast forwarding to the key point) ... when
I realized that drawing can create drama too, and it only requires me alone to
achieve it… I really begin to see what I should really be crazy about over the
next few years.
Well, this is me…talking again. Hope that this is not a meaningless
post.
Oh oh, btw, I can never be a vegetarian as I’m just not disciplined enough.
Really quite disappointed with myself. As for now, I will only eat
chicken, follow by pork and seafood. I will limit myself not eat beef and
mutton…but will still eat if there is no other option and I’m freaking hungry
etc. My stupid logic is that it’s okay to kill chickens, pigs and fishes, but
it’s cruel to kill cows and sheep. No-sense. Oh yea, whenever there is some
vegetarian food around, it will still be my top priority….provided it is not
too expensive, lol. damn, it’s hard to live in this world isn’t it?
Okay, that’s all for now :)
