Scars draft Footage

After 2 consecutive days of fight scene which came to a halt due to the monsoon rain which was on time daily at 3pm, we weren't able to finish the shoot and furthermore, some of the cast going outstation and conti's not applicable due to our full-time work. I had couple more drama's and films shoot which requires me to have a conti, Pui have to cut his hair for a film conti and my schedule been packing real tight with the rest of the crew as well. But not all was in vain, we have really good shots but incomplete due to some missing links in between. So I can only make the best of what we have and try to make clips out of it cause all the actors did very well that day..

Right now I'm working on a "New" Scars... well Version 2.. this time, there will b professional help... the script is halfway through... and there are more time for the preparations... I know this time we will hit the jackpot..... stay tune for more....

here i would like to ask for the forgiveness of the crews and cast who are involve in "Scars V.1" But as said, i'll make the best out of it so that it can be included in your filmography :)

Real Pain.. hahaha... pulls on a chunk of my hair..

Zombie attack :P

I think after a couple of films and dramas getting all the blood on my face, it feels addictive..

Taking a punch like a man....

And "Cha Cha" after that... lol

This is not what it looks like.. try guessing

Real stunts, no tatami, no padding..

Great expression from Howard Law

Do I look suffocated?

Mook's chocking it in hard..

Lucky I got Howard to play Mook, imagine a guy who's 200 pounds... gona break my back on this

As said, real stunts on real ground :P

The trick is to know how to land and how to guide the landing style

Time for more blood...

I think I'll lay off the blood for my next film... hahaha.... i was caught snorting on the blood, forgetting its not my mucus ... was so embarrassed from being pointed out by one of the actors :P hehehe

Scars

It's been a while since I last blogged. I've been busy, been around, been emo-ing, been thinking, planning......... lots of things have been in my mind for the past couple of months. things which i need to change right after CNY. something which I hate to do, is to choose between family and career. I love my family and career is my life. but sad to say, family and career can't be in the same town... but who says anything is fair.. lol. i just wish i can be home with my family and hug them every morning i see them at the breakfast table. I miss home so so much. I would give up my life just to be with them.

By creating "Chaotic Baboons Films" I will be bringing my career where very I go. which is right now, still in a bit of the shadows where all the creature of the abyss is dwelling... lol.... but anyhow, CBF shot her 1st short film on the 26th and 27th Dec 2009... right after Christmas and just before End of the Year.... lol... "Scars" is the 1st offspring not my personal 1st project with He-man (In Search of Life). we got a lot of talented people working on this No Budget Project which I'm very grateful to.

Here I wanna thank

"Scars" epd 1 has not been fully shot due to the bad weather and our hectic schedule and furthermore, one of our cast will be leaving to further his studies. So in order not to put every1's effort to waste, I'll try to make a teaser out of it... still in the planning... if all the footage is enough to make it :P (That teach me a lesson not to shoot outdoor scene at the end of the year with no budget) Hahaha....

Am Writing another project which will only take place after CNY 2010. This time, i'm keeping it a little more simple with just one static location. I've not decided where i'll have it since my future is still among the mist. but anything goes, its either Miri or Ipoh. It's going to be a sitcom... yeah, i know, i know... "Another Sitcom?" hahaha... but hey, im a producer under budget... and in order for me to score my dream, I've to think creatively and budgetly.... lol

anyways, Stay tune for "Bricks by brick"

........ Scars will not disappear, it will stay with us for the rest of our lives.... so do not be afraid of them, for it is em that craft us, our personality and our future......

Back from Ipoh : Back from Tangkal Besi

Back from the Tangkal Besi shoot in Ipoh... 1st thing 1st..... Yeah! NO MORE WIG.... gosh... such a torture with wigs.. hahaha... well, Director says my hair don't look too 70's so im required to wear a wig... but the wig they provide me was in such a bad quality that at the end of the 1 mth shoot... there weren't much strain left... it kept falling each time i use it... lol...

anyhow, this trip down to Ipoh proves very educative and entertaining. And so, I place Ipoh as one of my move spot. Of course, if i can't find a job with the right pay, Brunei is still my destination. But I would wanna move down to Ipoh cause living expenses is really low there and furthermore, its closer to my career opportunity.

And so the 1st film "Chaotic Baboons Films" took place over the weekend at Damansara Jaya with her 1st short film, "SCARS" Although we didn't managed to finish the whole shoot, we did managed to finish off more than half of the scenes. But now we face another problem, some of the actors will be flying off somewhere for a long period and furthermore, i've to arrange to suite everyone time and schedule since all of them have full-time 9-5 job except me... hahaha... but, im looking to see if there is enough footage to make a teaser :)

I'm writing on my second project for CBF which is a sitcom. A project I plan to work on once I move down to Ipoh and rent the whole house so i can use all the space I want.

stay tune for more info... :P
