SORRY
3 Woman + 3 Stories = 1 Word

Alhamdulilah, last month I got the opportunity to joined the Republic Theater Production family for a short film shooting. The short film 'SORRY' is the second product after 'Aku Tak Mampu' won in Festival Filem Pendek 2007. The story is about 3 different woman with different races, religious, personality and love story. The silent movie takes 3 days to complete on production and 2 days on post.


Flyer I Guess

So, this is my first experience with 'em crazy peeps. I'm also the actor for the short, my character.....huhu...a metro sexual Chinese guy that WILL be married to an Indian girl (la sangat) BUT actually he's got an affair with a 'Slim Shady' GUY that makes him a GAY. Thanks Angah for the character.

Although there's something that we are lacking of for this short film such as lack of crew, lack of time, lack of pre-pro but all that I know is that we never lacking of vision and team spirit. DIY that's the word we stand for, the camera become the actor, the actor become the screenplay, the actor is the producer, the art director is the actor.......for instance...we are Gila Glamor....Maybe some other time we will make it a better production, we have the spirit and the vision but if the research on the paper and the management of time is strong... then ....the short film can be a masterpiece....I can reassure y'all that..... this is not a critised statement but for me I'm still learning and this is what I've learn....like a wisemen said....no one can achieve "perfect" but we can try to be one.....is it true or isn't?? Just try your best and let the result be the answer.

Now we are waiting for the answer, as last year only Singapore manage to overcome the top 15 in Sapporo Short Film Festival....the only representative from South East Asia. Can we be on the top 15 Angah???Angah answer me????!!!huhuhuu, I guess this post will be continued.......thanks Angah for ery'thing.

A Day That My Life Feel Empty


30th January 2007 - A date that I can't forget and I wanted to forget from the bottom of my heart. I don't have any idea why we ended up just as simple as posting this blog. Honestly, there's no one that I love more that her. Maybe it's a fate, but still I can't accept it. What's the mistake and where's the wrong doing that I have done? I thought our relationship will be long lasting but last night have proved that I'm wrong. Now I will just live my ordinary life and hope that she will have a better life and happy just like before. I know it kinda weird but Hello and Goodbye are there in life. But I believe that there will be another chance if it's my fate. I pray and ask Allah to opened my heart and pray for her success. I will never forget the greatest friend and girl that I have once. I guess its all over now and I hope there's another chance in my life to be with her again. I never hated her for all my life and I guess all I got to do is move on and pray and pray and pray to the Mighty One. Insyaallah.
-Ia-
Apa ia ?

Kenapa harus sekarang ?
Ia tidak harus di cari
Tapi usaha adalah harus untuk manusia
Adakah ia benar atau,
Perasaan sunyi menguasai diri ?
Aku hanya sabar menanti ia,
Sekarang Aku Ia Dia, Sahabat atau Ia ?
Sahabat juga Ia,
Ia juga ada di dalam Sahabat
Sejak Adam bertemu Hawa
Dari Syurga hingga terlantar ke bumi

Ia telah lahir dari azali,
Oh Tuhan yang Maha Besar
Engkau jadikan Ia dengan penuh Ia

Manusia harus merasakan Ia
Ia adalah untuk semua.
Ia adalah Cinta..

BITTERSWEET
Pijie - Voval / tambourine
Herri - 1st guitar / voices
Hafiez - 2nd guitar / voices
Dinie - Bass
Emai - Keys / Synth

HISTORY and LIFE

The band began in mid-2004 with 2 members who had the same musical interests. Both played in an Ipoh band before, and got to know each other well during that time. Herri and Zabil occasionally met to hangout and eventually decided to try their hand at writing music together. Both heavily influenced by British music, the two decided to put their heads together and record an EP, just for fun. After the recording was completed Herri and Zabil distributed the material for feedback, which was mainly positive. When Zabil joined the Malaysian teaching force he had to quit the band, which left Bittersweet with only one of it's founding members. Determined not to abandon what they started, Herri set about forming a complete line-up, particularly considering they'd been invited by Pet Projects to perform at Couple's EP launch. He enlisted Dinie as their bassist first of all, before adding Apis (guitarist) to the line-up, and Piji as Bittersweet's vocalist. With Emay on keyboards and Ayid from Harmacy as their sessionist drummer, the band played their next show at PISA in Penang. A fresh list of songs caught the attention of Cheong (Rush), who invited them to perform at their next show-also in Penang. Literally the breaking point of the band's history, this was a somewhat bigger event, "Beautiful Junk" in August 2005. Despite having an entirely new line-up with even newer, unheard of songs, Bittersweet played to rave reviews, and received many offers to perform at other shows from then on. The band has only recently completed their line-up, which we hope will be our last. Alang is enlisted to be the session as a drummer.

The Making Of Bittersweet - Big Black Hole
The Brightswiss Production is the one who have being responsible to create the Big Black Hole
music video and it was shoot on the month of August 2006. We start the production on zero budget and along side Me, Diela, Waniey, Fairus and Nazri have being fighting for Bittersweet band againts V.E and Jaclyn Victor. The music that they have created suits our style of music and I've being doing a little research about the influence that had such as the brit-rock/pop and retro style of their personality. Despite of what we have being thinking...the ideas to produce the Big Black Hole music video, we strive to make the video shoot. With the lack of crew and some arguments of ideas...finally we have succeed to finish the music video....but there's some ideas that the band disagree and I agree with them but can't blame no one...coz it's Director cuts....so I hope Bittersweet will be succeed in what ever they are fighting for and long live Bittersweet...just like what you guys being producing....

MCP - Multiple Camera Production
Multiple Camera Production is one of my subject for last semester. I learn a lot from Pn. Lola, the lecturer who responsible for our class. Our batch is the first batch in F.A.C.T to be under her supervision for the MCP subject. From the MCP class I've being studying mainly about studio shooting. Producing talks, interview, musical, drama and others programs that's related to television. But I've also adapting the MCP studio shooting style to the outdoor MCP production or outdoor shooting.


Handling My Ba

The subject also teach us the command that usually being used by the Producer or Director when their are shooting in the studio or outdoor event. We even learn how to read the floor plan, lighting plot and the shooting script. Everyone of us have producing 3 scripts for interview, musical and drama program for television. Along the way learning about the MCP progress, I've handling a few heavy duty such as being the Producer, Director, Audio Director and I'm the Technical Director for Cicakman film promotion that have being held in Dewan Sri Budiman (DSB) UiTM Shah Alam. My first big event as a Technical Producer and alhamdulillah the event smooth sailing gain an appreciation and congratulation from the lecturer in duty, Prof Madya A. Razak Mohaideen.

Me - "Standby Camera 1, I'm Coming To You
"

Thanks God, the subject at least giving me a slot in my resume as a Technical Producer. Thanks to Pn. Lola, who alway s giving me advise and to all my friend and classmate that being helping each other from day one. Now, it's my final year and I'll be having my Directing subject that assure me to choose either to be a Director, Director Of Photography(DOP), Assistant Director or Producer. Well just wish me luck and hope it will be a great experience for me.

<-> The end of 2006 and the new 2007, with prayer and hope May God Bless us all...Amin.

Alhamdulillah, finally 2 weeks of hard work and the sacrificing of time, family, money, body and mind. We gain something that more precious than the Promising Group Award and RM500 cash, that's friendship and the experiences that we have build throughout the pre-production of Kalut . All the nastiest word that I ever heard , being used in the production. "p***mak", "anak haram", "bodo", "pelaq", "but*h", "sirupalakundi", "sial" and even the thing that never done wrong "babi" involved in the process. But, it's nothing matter as all of the thing should be in the production. Then after the process have done....we will never remember a single word of cursed (except for this blog I've to remember it !) that we used to attacked our friend because as the process finished the word "Thank You" and "Congrats" wipes the 'Cursing Words' away from you.

As for the production, I'm responsible for the Propmaster and Set Carpenter duty. It's my first time being a Propmaster, although I've become once for short film but it's never the same for theatre or stage performance because once the props being put and the show have start, no one can't stop the show if there's a mistake. But I'm stunned as this is my first time working with my good housemate buddies Abg Is, Syali, Na'im, Mali and also Botak.

Everybody was giving like 100% body and mind to the production, and of cause on the 12th of November, my Grandma passed away and I've got to flying home to Sarawak. Then by the help of the production, they give my RM50 for the spending over transportation. Botak is the one who send me to KLIA and I thanks him so much and the production team also. After 4 days, on the 16th November I came back to Shah Alam and there's some work I have to settle, the sofa's cushion and others and thanks to Sham BP for his help.

The Production then are in a 90% level of preparation, 80% of confidence, 100% of self esteem and our bond just like metal from down beneath the earth, can't be broke and hard to melt. 21st December, My BIRTHDAY and the show day....I get a little bit nervous, gosh I really scared about the sofa's cushion. Afraid of to be the spoiler of the geeks, but then I finally done it and with the 'Happy Birthday' song from the Production team as the actors and actresses singing it for the vocal warm up, my self confidence heating up until 200%.

After the show we couldn't say anything and without nervous feeling. We congrats each other and with the team of lecturer attending the show. I feel proud of myself, my friends and the THEATER lecturer (hope the lecturers of screen dept. are supportive like 'em) and En. Aidi (the only representative of the Screen's), who taking some beautiful photographs. We feel like we have strike the audience (until the result of the jury strike us because we didn't strike them). I'm hoping that I can digging more experience in the future, Insyallah. Last word, thanks to all the lecturer who have been supporting us especially Prof. Dr Hatta, En. Hamzah, En. Mazlan, En. Mazli, Pn. Umi, Bg Nuar (Thanks Bro!), and En. Fifi (with respect!) and Ms. Mus (thanks!), who have been there for us all the way from the start. Last but not least The Production Team of KALUT (Thanks a lot u guys!!!). "Love, Peace and Respect"
