The making of...

Hey people! Hope you had a wonderful week. I had a very, very, VERY busy week. Assignments and the video shooting are not the best combination in a single week schedule. But I think I am enjoying things quite a bit. I directed the first scene on Tuesday. I used up all my favor points by asking fifteen beautiful people to do a one hour video shooting with me. We did the scene in college and three gorgeous girls (Jacky, Grace and Yvonne) are supposed to walk into the cafe when two dorks (KahMeng and Tsoon Kit) are being rejected at lunch by a group of "popular" people (Marianne, Choon Meng, Navina, Victor, Karen, Chingy, St KL and Melissa). We took an hour to finsh all the scenes and we, again, had the entire cafeteria people looking at us. I told them I was going to make them famous. Muahahahahah!!

You can watch the video by clicking here. Note that this is only a draft and the real thing will be, well, a lot better. But still you can get the ideo of the entire thing.

Birds fly outside the window.. Why and oh why can't I?


Trying to start something new with J wasn't easy. Too many things to worry about. We haven't even had a proper date yet after hitting on one another for so long. Different social status is probably the main reason why we're taking it ever-so-slowly. I am actually getting tired of playing games like this. Remember Remi anyone? But THAT was heavenly. I think I have a thing for cute-looking people. Sue me.

The next day, I brought the edited video to college and everybody just loved it as much as I did. And I did another shoot with Tsu and Barry dancing in the auditorium. We spent half an hour for a 15 second scene. But the results turned out exceptional especially after all the editing and viewing it in the computer screen.

Vikash can ACT y'all!!!



Thursday, I did the scene with Vikash aka The Teacher scolding Daniel aka The Hi School Boy. Damn Vikash was good. He was so good that I burst out laughing somewhere during the first take. It was good but hilarious, but, good. Lol. After that, Arthur, Adele, Shivani, Daniel, Santha and I head to my house to film the second scene of the entire video. It took us two hours and Adele had to scream into Arthur's face for more than thirty minutes because I shot her from a lot of different angles and she had to scream the same things over and over again. Santha was looking to-die-for at the shooting as she was playing a goddess/fantasy object brought to life by Arthur's imagination. She had to move her perfect porportions like she was doing a Paris Hilton music video for ten minutes and she demanded a thousand bucks after the shoot XD


Dinner with Clare, Ms Su and Patrick at KFC.
She freakin cut her hair short!

Friday came and went just fine. I went to One Utama to do some CNY shpping and spent only a hundred bucks because 1) My wardrobe is already too full 2) I have, like, 10 jackets and blazers and coats and 3) I am running on a rm350 budget. After I've gone home, I was already busy editing the videos and coming up with a script for an upcoming sketch. The video took me more than three hours of time because my lappie kept testing my patience by lagging once in fifteen minutes.

Tsu in a nursing uniform.. I mean, a green whateverthefug.

I'm heading off to KL tomorow with Sam to continue my shopping spree. Found this nice jackety thingy at Seed today but they ran outta my size. I could buy the M but what if I eat too much on CNY eve? After that, I'll be heading down to Petaling Street to do the last video shoot for my music video and hopefully I can see something cheap that I like as well. I might be spending the night at Dan's place because I need his PC to edit the video without a hitch.

It's gonna be a few busy days. With two more presentations to go and more than 300 video clips to select from and edit. But I'm having fun, definitely. By the way, I'm too lazy to open the last post and put in pictures so.. here are the ones I took last weekend.


Isn't Mr Koh adorable? :D Yeap, he's the chicken little
I was talking about. But he's not wearing glasses
when he started his camwhoring session with the help
of my phone. Tsk tsk, grow up Jeremy!


Busy busy day for the lecturers and counsellers. It wasn't
as hectic as the Star education fair though. That was a nightmare.
And I got asked out promoting KDU!


Ms Lim and Jacky. We're getting our feet massaged by the way.


Ms Su and Kevin in the van. It was a long and bumpy trip..


You would never have guessed that these two actually
dated for a while.. Nah, they're straight. I hope
.

That's it for now. Have a wonderful weekend people. Adios!
