Check out the adventures about the twelve who went to LA!

Proof

A week from now,

I will have a lot to proof.

I will need help.

I want to change the industry.

And myself.







This time, I need a real job.

Why Experiment?

People ask me why do I want to make a product out of an experiment with my DSLR shoot.

Here's what I said:

Before Collateral or Miami Vice, Michael Mann experimented on digital on the Thompson Viper by making an ad - "Lucky Star".


People, my idol inspires me.



Hyper realism look FTW~

Prometheus

The blog post title is a hint of an on-coming project...

Meeting the Man(n)

Previously, on Film Junkie Rockstar...

On with THIS BLOG -

I never thought it would be possible.



Mann: You're a smart guy?
Me: (stunned) I like to think so.
Mann: Yeah, I can see you're a smart guy.
Me: (nervous smile)
A short while...
Me: I know this is not appropriate. Can I take a picture with you?

25th Jan 2010, 1450 hours - My life changed.

Channel 5's woe

Some producer from Mediacorp told me this and I laughed till my face is on the verge of bursting.

"The last chairman for channel 5, the one responsible for the deal between Singapore and Montreal co-production of Just for Laughs, screws up the channel's programming so bad. If channel 8 shows color bar for twenty-four hours, the ratings for that channel will still be higher than channel 5's!"

That's when I started laughing. People around me wanted me to share but I was too helpless in laughter.

Singapore Iron Man

I met up with Neville Tan today.

After a chat with him, I realized that my Singapore's version of Heat may not happen. Meaning, no-two-men-of-equal-presence-who-can-be-friends-but-are-at-different-sides-of-the-law-and-thus-cannot-be-friends kind of story. He thought that his change into who he is today is more important.

All is not lost, I am interested about his story of change inside prison before 1971. It seems to be a good prison story that could be Singapore's Shawshank.

I'll be meeting him again at his second Iron Man book launch on Aug 16th 10am.

In the Midst of Danger

I'm going across the causeway to shoot....

Pray for my safe return.

Hainan Ji Fan

I was recalling the pains of this shoot:



But I'll always remember working with Mélanie Laurent.

The Exile: Fat French

Asset to The Nurse in hunting down Lok.



See what he's holding? You know the budget will rocket in props, special effects and digital effects.

*EDITED: He is supposed to be black. Maybe another Fat French design in the future.

The Exile: Before the Lift Fire Fight Completed

Spent another hour on it.

Here's the set up. Lok has been in hiding, and he has been discovered. The Nurse enters the lift and they engage in a stare down. A firefight boils, ready to explode.



Wouldn't it be cool on an Over-the-shoulder Shot on Wide Screen? And imagine it handheld and shot on digital!

The Exile: Before the Lift Fire Fight

Another practice.

In the Midst of Fire

Lok in The Exile. Was experimenting with soft brushes and explosion brushes.

The Exile: Family

Testing out different brushes. Was trying out two characters in one panel. Constancy thrown out the window that one.

If it's too faint to read, it's Huimin and Jessica.

Experiment.

Another practice with the tablet.


Maybe she's too bright compared to the background.

More Exile

One more for tonight.



I can see a bit of improvement now.

The Exile - a little preivew

I did this for a span of three nights, ten minutes before I sleep.

Here's a little look at character designs of The Exile.





Mostly done as practice with the tablet.

More characters to come.




*Character design and Script registered.*

The Occupant

The title of the Untitled Horror Project.

I feel excited about this, but writing it has bad effects to my mind.

Progress Check

An update from previous post.

Untitled Adventure Project - Was my own idea, but was instructed not to be involved
Untitled Action Project - Halfway there
Untitled Horror Project - Not done yet
The Exile - Point form
Hush City (rewrite) - Haven't rewrite
Goodbye WKW - Still in pre-first-draft

I'm in so much trouble...
