Beauty In Simplicity

This post is specially dedicated to impresario! saturday marked the last day of impresario. on one hand its quite a relief, but on the other, i think i'll miss the people there. esp the bunch of wacky crazy people whom i worked and played tgt with for the past 6 months. but one thing which i'm most proud off and will never forget is the SPOOF VIDEO. The video represents the sweat and laughter of all those people who made it possible.

our initial idea was liang shan bo and juliet. but in the end we finally came up with the idea of spoofing a whole list of adverts. i can still remember the day when eugene, boon, jiahui, sinli and i came up with the entire script, right after stand chart some more! can you imagine how tired we were that day. but still we manage to came up with the script and everybody was happy (:

den came the filming! omg that was the most tiring days of the entire dec holidays. we had to rehearse for the dance, travel to The Sun, to boon's hall and even to choa chu kang just to film the video. it was super tiring but we definitely had a lot of fun during these 4 days. though we encountered many screw ups and set backs along the way, i'm glad we managed to give our 100% and finish filming the entire video, all in just four days. of course editing was not easy too. we edited and edited and edited countless times and only finished it three days before the finals. on the day of the finals, the laughter and feedback from the audience just said it all (:

regardless of the various negative responses we got from other people, the low morale we had along the way plus the limited equipments and little time we had, i was glad the spoof video was a HUGE success. it was my first time filming such a video and all this would not been possible with the help of everybody especially eugene (my fellow co-director!! yup we definitely did it! and you make a wonderful actor too esp as the indian bird seller. everybody was talking abt your role la. super funny.) chunboon (the whole video will not even work out if you weren't the main lead. seriously, maybe some mediacorp guy will start calling you up and ask you to act. you're a born-actor dude! oh and thanx for helping us to contact jiji to help us for the video) jiji kenny (for helping us to rent the equipments from adm and helping us to film and edit the video. most of the credits should really go to them. sorry jiji for making you edit it so many times. we definitely owe you a huge favour. anw i also learn a lot abt directing now, the different angles and so on...lol) weilong kaixiang eileen jiahui jiejun rx (weilong for his super humorous acting. sorrie to make you cycle the bike ten over times repeatedly, kaixiang for acting as the super 'shuai' richard gere, eileen for acting as the 'hot' jennifer anniston, jiejun and rx for ALL the music in the video and jiahui for coming down and lending your support. thanx girl (: )

our hard work definitely paid off and i will give anything to do it all over again. filming of the spoof video is one moment i will never forget for a super long time This is not just my video, but OUR video ((:
