Right now, I recently got a job at my school’s Theater Facility Unit. Well, I cannot really consider it my job because the hours are not fixed. I have to basically fight for hours every week if I want to work. So far… 0 hours…

Hopefully I can get a new part-time job as a projectionist. My interview is on Monday. Crossing my fingers for this one!

That’s all the updates I have so far… For now… enjoy this picture of me… lol

Really, I have no excuse. I was lazy after all the summer films we have done and figured I would finish it up during the start of school. Big mistake. Not only was I swamped with work, but there were a few untaken care business such as finishing up the PSA. Not to give off any impression that Pizza Madness was not being worked on, during the two quarters I was in school, I have found someone who would compose scores for the film. Thanks to Mike Marino, Pizza Madness is now equipped with original scores! So over Spring Break, I have placed in the scores thus releasing Pizza Madness! Without further ado…

Thoughts and commentary of Pizza Madness will be up hopefully by the next blog post…

Last but not least… Happy Birthday to Roger Ngo! One of the founders of tbh productions! 4/4/2010. To celebrate, here is the ORIGINAL version of The Surprise the non-Xanadu’d version.

Although there was no place, Ten-Story Tombstone was highly praised. A couple people spoke to me after the event and said they were completely blown away by the film. I can’t take all the credits, it was mostly Le, Allan, and Bryan’s hard work and of course, Mitch Devin’s great acting. So big congrats to them and I will present these awards to Frugo Productions soon. I won The Departed DVD from the raffle that they had so that’s a good enough prize for me.

Ten-Story Tombstone will be participating in Lothian Oscars, an event sponsored by UCR RHA members and it will take place this coming Friday night, March 5th at 10PM. I will definitely look forward to watching some student-made films and hope I will see some good ones.

Aside from the film festival, I’ve been thinking about making concept music videos to build up some skills. Similar to what we did for Hold Me Tight, I want to make music videos with songs that already exist and we just lip/play-sync. The point is to just be familar with the camera techniques and for sheer fun. I have a couple of ideas running in my head and I would like to get it on video. Maybe this time, I will include drums to complete the band set and make it more realistic. I don’t know. I need time to flesh out my ideas some more and I hope to start on it around Spring. This should help prepare for a music video that I might do with a up-and-rising hip-hop artist. Nothing is set in stones, but that’s what we’re hoping to do over summer. One thing for sure is that I will be including a lot more shots and angles to this next music video, unlike Hold Me Tight where I have a medium-long shot of the band. Nonetheless, Hold Me Tight is still a favorite of mine, it’s embarassing but I love it. Again, here’s Hold Me Tight.

(oh the irony)

By the way, the screening of the PSA went well. Wasn’t a full crowd, had many technical difficulties, but in the end, the PSA was shown and got some pretty warm response from the audience. I actually felt pretty comfortable during the Q&A, too comfortable that I hog the mic for a good 10min. I felt pretty bad for not letting the others speak out. All in all, it was an eye-opening experience for me as well as Allan. However, I think the best thing about this screening was that it actually led us to another gig. No news on it now, but it’s been a recent dream of mine to work on something like this.

(See me right there? Hogging the mic? =/ )

Good news for me is that I’m finally getting a DSLR camera. The Canon Rebel XSi. It was on sale on Amazon and thought I should take advantage of the great price. Yeah, it’s nothing compared to the newly released 7D, which by the way, blew me away with it’s amazing 1080p video. Makes my Canon Vixia HF100 look like a joke. But anyway, I’m just glad I’m finally getting a DSLR of my own. I’ve had the chance to get one before, but I was pretty stupid back then to want a cheap digital camera all because it could fit in my pocket. With the DSLR, I can finally update my equipment page with some photos.

Pizza Madness has been heavily delayed. Possibly a December release because I haven’t got in touch with anyone that could provide original music for it.

The secret PSA is just about done and we’re just waiting for the Producer to release it on her account.

What am I up to nowadays? Sound mixing. Nuff’ said.
