You’re probably wondering: “Am I at the right blog?” yup, you are. This is still auyong’s blog. I’m just the verbose guest blogger here to pester you with my incessant rantings. And no, I’m not trying to take over his blog.
You might now wonder: “Who the heck are you?” hee, well, I guess I should introduce myself for a bit here..
Hie! I’m Tse Wei. PJ is my home, but now i’m currently living and studying in Singapore coz i sold my soul to their government in exchange for free education.
Currently pursuing a degree in Communication Studies, in my second year, and hoping to get into the television broadcast industry in the future. hmm, what else? oh yeah, am 21 this year, a music n movie maniac, advocator of shopping as therapy, vertically challenged, and I miss malaysian food.
Intro done. yeah so i guess now i should move on n talk abt something else.
Me and camera.* Being a film-maker wannabe (or so I think now), me and 2 of my friends signed up as a team for the Fly By Night challenge, a video competition, over the past weekend. The topic was released on Friday evening, and we had 2 days to conceptualise, script, film and edit a five-minute video by Sunday afternoon. It was madness. Me and my friend just sat there and blinked at each other in silence when they announced the topic. “fever”. Our minds were blank. But heck, they will screen watever crap we came up with, so we ended up doing some weird shit that is supposedly “art”. (yeah rite. *rolls eyes*)
Sleepless weekend.* Had a grand total of 6 hours’ sleep for the 2 days. Looked like a zombie at the end of it, bleary-eyed, moving about with my soul half floating somewhere else.
Adrenaline rush.* With the extremely limited time we had, yeah it was totally thrilling with all that energy pumped up, ready to run about everywhere to shoot our video, n rushing to edit everything in time.
Drive-by shooting.* Drove around during midnight and stuck half the camera out of the car window precariously filming lights. That was fun, with the cold wind waking me up, but my hand started to ache halfway thru supporting the camera, and started to get worried abt the S$5000 that we’ll have to pay the school if it falls out of the window.
Security guard.* Or rather, the lack of, this time round. heehee. yup, I too had a stupid encounter with security guards at a shopping mall during one of my previous video assignments. Ok, admittedly, we were in the wrong coz we didn’t get permission and happily went in anyway with our equipment. But hey, they didn’t need to get like 2 security guards to escort us out of the place!! Not like we’re about to harm the public, or whack them up with our tripod stand.
??: real cacat case.
That was it. My weekend. Maddening, n exhilarating. And that’s all for my first guest blog post. ^_^
