tingly » Love http://tingly.sg My name is Ting Li, I'm a sound mixer and foley artist from Singapore. I create clean and customized soundscapes for film and broadcast projects. Sometimes, I produce upon request. I love a good bowl of tom yum soup, the beatles and perhaps working with you!

Last year on 16 May 2009, I had the privilege of helping to make Pink Dot happen. More than 2500 people decked out in pink and came together to show their support for the freedom to love.

This year, it’s happening again on

15 MAY 2010, 5pm

SAME PLACE, Hong Lim Park

SAME DRESS CODE, Anything Pink!

That’s me as last year’s speakers IC.


I brought Sir and Lady Pink Dot along last year. I don’t know where they are now, but I’m sure they’re in safe hands and I hope to see them at the event! If you would like your own pink dot friends too, find out how to make one (or a few) here!

And if the photos aren’t enough to convince you to be part of this fun and meaningful event, this video might just do it.

SEE YOU THERE!

Yay!

Congratulations to Ho Tzu Nyen, director, and Matthew Koh, co-sound designer, as well!

I must admit I was in complete shock when Newton was announced as winner. Really stumped. By the time I found my way to the stage, I realised for the first time that I had a problem with public speaking – I was shaking. And there were so many things I felt I should’ve mentioned in retrospect – how sound is ever so important but always neglected, that it should really be considered in pre-production and not treated as the last hope for salvation for any film, how everything sound-based is so intertwined that the location sound recordist, sound designer, sound mixer and the composer should be nominees too for the award and why everyone should hire me etc. But I didn’t. Oh well…

Dirty Bitch was the biggest winner bagging home 2 awards for Best Fiction and Best Director! Congrats Sun! And congratulations to the other winners!
