Making the AD was really easy for us....

NOT!

Not even close to the word easy or hard!

Its beyond godlike~supremely~extremely~powerfully~si beh~terlalu~sangat~very hard!!!

Group meeting

But with the effort as an entire team, it made the entire process more joyful instead of a burden.

No doubt its very tiring and even some times there are issues hitting us directly on our face, we still manage to make it through!

Filming has been my passion for few years and its still today, even thought I love it very much, but I'm not God..


Without the entire team, its totally impossible no matter how determine or good one is.

I can try my best to do anything, but not everything.

I shall start off by introducing my fellow team mates(a little bit sarcastic intro.. =P).

Hungry..........

Hui Wen - Director of photography
Daniel - Actor: Not a good aimer, crew member and the dude that sings
Sonia - Actor: The sad one & crew member
Me - Director & editor
Karl - Actor: Class mate, crew member & group joker who keeps us going on =P

Jeff(non-team members) - Actor: Triad boss in class & a faithful helper

Lu Shen - Actor: Still learning & crew member

After 1 week(or more?) of group discussion, so much of idea yet nothing was done.

All of us brain stormed like crazy, hopping from one idea to another, it seems as if there was so much yet so little.

Finally, we took whatever we have from the drawing board to the open fields.

And there and then, was where it all began...

Seeking consultation from our lecturer - Mr Adrian

Finally, the result was the video.

But what really happen was, whatever we came up with during our group meetings, the plans and ideas, 90% of them wasn't used.

Hence the story begins...

Scene 1 - Time Square Bridge

Remember the scene where the dude holding the "I am HIV positive sign board"?

There was where we shot that part.

That was our 1st out of the story board experience.


Even though in the past I did shot some fun clips with friends, but this is nothing like what I did before.

Something totally alien to me..

So freaking lots of people staring at us, they must be wondering why a bunch of students making a dude standing in the middle of the crowd declaring that he is HIV positive!!!

Is very very very amusing to look at the photos that Parvin took, the ones like these, facial expression of by passers.

"Omg!"

=O

"huh?"

Welcome to Malaysia!

Keeping her fingers cross, hoping that is not true!

"Hey why are you looking at my ass like that?!?.... Assistant la! =P"

Really really funny..

There was a guy who asked us "is it true??"

Can you believe that??!! People actually think it was real!!

David and his virus

Overall, we had to put into consideration about the lightings, camera angle, time, people and everything under the sun.

It was this experience that drive most of us to wana do more(I guess).

Its all worth it. =)

Stay tune for more!

To be continue~~!
