the term break has started..... 8 weeks of nothingness. well... mostly.. i already have plans set for the holiday. I dont wanna end up like the others whereby the reflect on wht they've done during holidays and find that they've been doing very little (play game... shopping... booooring....) Will be going around the country with my video camera and boyfriend, shaun. =p Though i meant my video camera, XM2, and my boyfriend, shaun.
NVP1 still has some glitches here and there.. i think more than half of the team now are in malaysia or at least going to... left only with the girls.
The roles have been given in to me (on a wet, folded piece of paper) today after i met up with Jia Hui at Golden Village. Then there he goes.. off for Mt. Ophir.
I am very pleased indeed with how the roles were distributed among the team.
Director - Rasmus
Assistant Director - Rastus
Producer/ Production Manager - Hai Ting.
Script Supervisor - Jason
Production Assistant - Jia Wei
Director of Photography - SHERYL ( =p )
Cameraman - Jia Hui
Assistant Cameraman - Russell
Key Grip - Lee Boon
Sound Engineer - Thomas
Sound Assistant - Aaron
Soundtrack Composer - Wei Qin and Beth
Production Designer - Edward
Prop Master - Fathona
The twins, Rastus and Rasmus, have taken up a perfect spot, i think. I think that since they live under the same roof (unless you count the sky as a roof.. then we all live in a home.. its called the earth... stop pollution. Period.), production might go well and smoothly as they would have a very mature understanding of their vision for NVP1
Hai Ting has been known to be great with paperwork or anything to do with tree pulp. I encouraged her to take up this position and im glad she did. And producers need to be ultimately reliable. I think she's perfect as a producer. Producers hold the power to a major part of the production....
Jason Zhang, i believe, holds a lot of intelligence in him and that Mac G4 of his. ive seen him done audio productions on his laptop when the "Battle of the Field" video last year was being shot. ive also heard some stories from teachers about him, similar to that of our Jason Goh, i deduce the fact that this person is truly a genius in disguise.
production assistants, from what ive been hearing, are those that get bullied by the director and crew. Basically, they are the running man and orders are constantly being given out to them (buying food, fetching talents, etc) and they are the ones that get the brunt of everything in a production. Jia Wei is also (in a way), similar to Jason Goh. Well.. the helpful part at least (step on Jason and the world dies). I can already imagine jia wei running off to get something when i saw his name under the production assistant role.
SHERYL..... well... initially i took her in because of the pictures she's been taking on her blog. I pulled her (ok maybe i didnt... that'll be sexual abuse...) to me (oh, god...) and asked her to think of being the DOP... ok maybe not the 'dope'... the Director of Photography. im glad her name appeared under that role. So sheryl.... ill be a sending an email to you soon.... a long one in fact... about your role.... so that you could have more fun in taking pictures! what's more, sheryl.... JAY CHOU will be in ur email!
Jia hui has been in constant contact with me even before the production started. He has somewhat been the person asking all the questions about the production and relaying the answers to the rest (i hope). He has been very helpful and spontaneous indeed... calling everyone for a meeting and such (and receiving the lesser-than-good end of conflicts between memebers) . Ah... yes... now that he's taken up the cameraman role.. him and i can have a verrryyyyyy long session on the "Holy Art of Visual Aesthetics in Motion Pictures". Cameramen, beware.
I knew Russell from that time he played the bass with rastus/mus on the guitar. Impressive musicians i might add. Gives me more reason to condemn the school and their horrible sense of setting up the sound system of the hall. Seriously.. all i hear in the hall are reverberations and bass and static. But then again.. maybe the guys backstage arent doing their work properly. Ah yes.. condemnation... can you feel the prejudist nature of me peeking through? back to topic, i've never seen Russell's camerawork before so i cant judge that but i think he could have an understanding of how the camera works (aperture, depth of field... etc. etc..) and he might also be able to work with rastus and rasmus to compose a score for the video! ah yes.. talented students we have here in North View.
Lee Boon.... hmm... i always thought she was a big girl that looks down on Sheryl (literally) and i was shocked when i first saw her... such a small cute girl... perfect as Sheryl's sidekick (kick sheryl's side...). I went,"Huh?" when i first saw her name under the Key Grip role. You know what a key grip does? A key grip "handles and transports equipment". LOLZ!!! i wonder how she's gonna transport equiment... im alreayd having difficulty carrying my box... -.- .... oh well... mor ereason for the team to work together.... :) I anticipate the moment she starts to show her talents in the production. Go kick sheryl! =p
I heard Thomas is a good actor. I heard he performed on stage as well. In fact, some of the scripts sent to me had his name written in the suggested cast list. But i wonder why he's the sound engineer.. i was thinking of one of those musicians doing this role. But anyways, I would just love to see what he can come up in this position. Sound Engineers decide on wht that mood and pacing of the video score should be like. I cant wait to see the end result.
Ahh yes... my two Grade 8 piano players.... Hi Wei Qin! Hi Beth! meet your competitor, Shaun! LOLZ!! (ok sorry but im having fun chattin around.. i just spoke to april about 'Sex: The Infamous Biting Cervix' idea i had) WQ and beth are the song composers for NVP1 ( and ALL the videos to come! muahahah!!!). I'm seriously in love with piano scores and cant wait to see wht they can come up with for this video (i still have no idea wht story we're doing.). Happy composing the two off you!
Aaron as sound assistant.. hm.... he would definitely need to handle a lot of troubleshooting and have a sensitive hearing. This is cause we're not using a boom mic (the one with the long pole... though we can rent from a film house i think.) so the mic is not as close as it should be to the talents. Welll.... i hope the shotgun mic on Sam is sensitive...
prop master as Fathona.... well... i noe that she is kinda artsy with her hands... and prop masters desgin props to be used on set. Not a bad role for her indeed i must say. I also heard she is a good actress. Not bad.. we have many people who CAN act. (unlike those who act acting.....)
So there's my evaluation for the position of roles. I'm currently in the midst of preparing personalized emails to be sent to everyone of them on what they are expected to do in their roles. I bet Sheryl would have a pleasant time reading through her email... its full of pictures! =p of Jay Chou!

The Final Video Project, The Void Within, has finally been edited.
I like it, really... the color is just so me. =p . The story was good and all, in my opinion (ill see if i can get permission from Justin to put it up here on the blog) but the edning was not as complete as it should be i think.
I am truly amazed at how much the other groups puled up their socks in this project. I saw lots of moving and powerful videos (and songs) being pieced together. One clip had a very cheesy romance story and songs that even joyce cried (well... almost) when watching it. The other had a very comical video and superb credit layout. Then the other, i saw, before the editing room was to be locked up for the night (it was abt 10pm..), a montage of superb frame compositions and colour and location (it actually looked as if the shots were out of Spiderman or sth... horizontal lines, tall buildings.. etc. etc.). i think that the competition level is much higher now.
Well... time for me to pull up my socks. On to NVP 1!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my dad's back in Singapore. I find sth strange abt him now. He was sitting at the dining table and just staring blankly while my mother was babling about receipts and the type of wood to be used to decorate the house in JB. He spoked not in his normal way (much slower i guess)..... think its either my dad's getting old or that the bank has less money for us. zzz...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shaun's bringing me out for piano shopping this wednesday!! whee!!! then weé gong kranji!! then we're going everywhere in the world!
and this end of sept, Joyce, mitch, charlene, syah shaun and i will be going over to Kuching for a while to relax. Though im not sure if we're able to make it since my dad will be in singapore for a few days and the fasting month is starting on the 5th of oct.
