I never knew i could appreciate "romantic" movies. at least thats what i told myself, until curiosity got the better of me and i rented "2046" from our friendly neighbourhood VideoEzy. Took me a long time to finally watch this movie, i mean, i'm in the middle of a "hongkong movie" fest. heh heh
i love the way it was made, the themes, the seemingly "unspoken" narratives, plot wise, i think it flowed very well. i can see why he took 5 years to make this.
since that, i've been renting all sorts of movies of the same types, hoping i can catch a glimpse, a strand of artistic thread for me to create a piece of work just like it, with dashes of my own strokes.
but wong kar wai still rocks. his partnership with christopher doyle (the cinematographer) is really great, i can see how they've broken rules in general movie-making and made the rules to bend in their favor.
ah, it's a bittersweet moment for me, watching movies like that and knowing that it'll take us YEARS to hit even that standard.
i know, i'm impatient.

The Future of StreetFighter!
Oh oh, the talking heads of Capcom have finally released this bombshell (at least for me)
"Capcom has confirmed the development of Street Fighter 4 at an event in London."
"Very little solid information about the game has been given; not even the platforms upon which the game will appear."
Here's the trailer/
thats it. i'm gonna buy this game when its out even if its gonna cost me a new system! ;p

Shift week
Exam @ SIM
Hah. I finished my exam on Fri! And it felt damn bloody good.
I just hope i'd pass the damn exam and NEVER EVER touch journalism again. Not that its a bad thing, i just don't like to write articles.
Event @ VivoCity : OMY launch
Shot & provided blue screen services for (the event organiser for the SPH "OMY" launch on sat. We were stuck in this really huge tent with no wind. It was really hot! tat aside, things went pretty smooth and we did leave in one piece at the end.
Gah, i'm too half arsed to type more. So i'll leave more storytelling for the next blog post! ;p

Exams and a dose of FIRE
Heya,
yup, i've finished doing my "recommended" time in class. I'm simply amazed at the content and how people can actually stomach the ass-kissing. I got so cheesed i went for dinner right in the middle of class.
Not to say the course was bad. In fact, the course content was cool. Helped me to understand and see issues from another perspective. What i didn't like, was the enviroment in which the content was presented in.
Needless to say, at the end of each class, there's an exam or HUGEASS project. this time, its an exam. So study away!
Hopefully i make it. If i do, its gonna be the last exam i ever sit for (likely. damn likely).
Boss is shifting house, so we got a LOAD of stuff in the office, like plasma screens, TONS of cables, new shelves, boxes, etc. So i've been essentially a labourer the past week.
Gonna be doing this blue screen job over at VivoCity this sat. People are gonna like walk up to it and pretend to be doing a live broadcast of some sort. Its gonna be cool! I hope the sun is kind to poor us! ;p
Waltzing, Sliding, Stealing, Pwning. Not good.

Keeping the regime !
I have the sudden irresistable urge to tell myself to keep MY REGIME up.
I've been slackin a lil and i know it!
So, its time to focus and have fun!
Speaking of fun, i watched Planet Terror tonight and it was .... retarded.
If any movie could be less coherent, this was it. In a nutshell, expect zombies.
Go catch it! & tell me who Machete is!
Cheers mateys!

The Proposal
Heya,
My friend Bernard proposed to his long time girlfriend Dorcas this weekend, well, some of us went in and helped him out a little. We had a rather dubious looking "hidden cam" and filmed the whole thing down.
Heres a short (summarized) version of what really happened....
Line of the week : "You haven't answered me yet."

Sony XDCam EX Launch
Ha!
I went to the Sony XDCam EX (PMW - EX1) launch at the Hilton Singapore yesterday. It was a "ok only la" event, cuz the presenters were boring! But the main aim, the camcorder was far from boring! Its great to see new technology being added in to help videographers obtain the optimum image, things like MF assist, Knee Points etc all help in getting that superb shot!
Here are some photos i took (edited also, with Videolifestyle.com's logo)
