Blogging on the go!

Finally got wordpress to work on my bb. I can now blog on the go!

A dear friend of mine bought me a t-shirt with my favourite quote! And the box cover has earned itself a coveted place on my corkboard!

Have a great day peeps!

It’s just so true.

I had to post it up again.

For those who’re new here, I had a personal blog tinglysensation before migrating here. Check it out!

I’ve decided to put my free time to good use and have volunteered with the Asian Film Archive! I’ll be involved in cleaning out all the dust, mould and whatever surprises left on the old old reels (some nasty examples are in the video).

Only some of you will know this, I have a secret love for doing really mundane brain-dead stuff – like stamping addresses on envelopes, keying in databases etc – so this volunteer work will really give me a chance (at least once every week) to do that!

Before I begin though, I’ll have to go through a basic training course. If you’re interested in volunteering too, please write to Ethan from the Archive at [ethan at asianfilmarchive dot org]. We may just end up in the same training class!

For those with lesser time on your hands, you can do your part by sending your films or recommending films for preservation to the Archive and let the good peeps there do the rest for you.

For more information, please visit the Asian Film Archive website.

Latest Work: In the House of Straw

House of Straw Poster

I completed House of Straw in early August 2009. It’s the debut feature film of Yeo Siew Hua, or Chris as he’s more commonly known. He’s a dear friend of mine I knew through Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

It was the most intensive film I’ve ever worked on as all but 2 scenes of this 2 hour 10 min feature had to be redubbed and recreated from scratch. The production started off as a guerilla style one – besides the director and cast, there was no fixed crew or equipment – hence the poor location sound.

With me on the post audio team was Felix from EQ Ward. The film was completed in his studio. I remember recording foley for him and his jeans kept making shuffling noises. I told him to hold the fabric apart. Next thing I knew, he’d already taken them off and was standing in the booth with only his jocks.  It sure helped the recording process and also made the warm booth a little less stuffy I guess. :)

Another uniqueness of the film is that it features 7 composers of different genres. I tell Chris the film can act as a composer’s showreel as well.

Soon after its completion, the film premiered in the Bangkok International Film Festival and was in competition for the Golden Kinnaree Award in the Southeast Asian Section. It scored pretty good reviews too (see here, here and here)! Not too shabby for a first feature!

Here’s the trailer. Be sure to catch it when it’s screening in Singapore!
