Dear life,

I am taking a short period off from this blog.

I want to let you know that I haven’t been very clear.

My priorities are a bit muddled and I am left confused which to focus on.

But I will be intentional and clear as of now.

Aug 30 - Sep 30

- Production design/admin duties & errands for community film I am volunteering.

- Preparation & packing for Sep 14 - Sep 29 Korea & Vietnam Interfaith Conference.

I will be back in October.

I want to start my next big project in late October (and of course work on this blog too) - learning from ‘interdisciplinary’ architects & designers & curated on a facebook/blog/book form...?

Breathe.

And breathe in and out again.

Chao (also goodbye in Vietnamese),

^ 22/11/17 - It seems like this project of interviewing/conversations with interdisciplinary architects is not going through. I may and look into more of it early next year - please remind me! At the moment, I am working on a short documentary on ‘interfaith.’

I have often been asked the qualifications for an Art Director. Architectural knowledge of all periods and some engineering knowledge are essential. But to this you can add theatrical licence and lashings of imagination for you may be called upon to design anything from a hat shop to the interior of a submarine

5th day film shooting

Creed

And that’s a wrap for today.

A day of rain, hail, clouds, sunshine and winds but that didn’t stop our production of the film! 

Today again on a Sunday, our crew began shooting the scenes of the soccer game/training.

A reminder of the film’s synopsis...

Main story revolves around a boy and soccer. He finds difficulties with fasting for ‘Ramadan’ and keeping his physical and mental health in check, when he is up against his team and his strict coach.

Artificial lights is set up. Like architecture, the ‘colour’ and ‘colour intensity’ gives a different mood against a room, surface and space. I’m presuming this type of light is - Cool White, LED 10000K 

Camera set up. The cameraman is working with a new technique of filming - the ‘slider.’ This type of shot is typical in cinematic films. And action... left from the white brick wall, following the main character, to him and his team... slide...

My team watching the take - director, actors (soccer players & main character). This is a change room of a football team we have adapted. It has an industrial + contemporary vibe (white textured render over brick, exposed ceiling beams, timber and rubber tiled floors).

Reflections:

- We have managed to finish the scenes planned in the ‘call schedule.’ Although we finished an hour and a half after the set time, everyone was happy and managed to keep warm (from playing soccer!)

- Working with the community provides many benefits: 

Travel & food expenses reimbursements

Utilise community amenities and buildings (like this one!)

Interact, engage and work with a range of people of different cultures, demographics etc.

Signing off now,

Next shooting is a DOUBLE-WEEKEND. I will need to mentally prepare, plan and rest haha 

Til then,
