Chunky Goes To Work

Photobucket
Hey guys, im sure many of you have been wondering why haven't i been updating my project and many of you have been pondering about the progress. Well the truth was that i have decided to volunteer myself as an working intern to a film production company. The reason why i wanted to do this was to expose myself to the production and post production process in the film industry. I wanted to see how things work from the business aspect to the filming and production all the was to the editing and final deliverable. I was thinking prior to being exposed to the life in this line, i would have a better understanding about what i should be working towards in my 'School Of Groove' project. It's all for knowledge baby! Thus, Chunky has gone to work!

Wormwood Films (previously known as Embassy) is a company that specialises in producing corporate videos, event videos, TV ads and such. Their portfolio is impressive and very experienced in this line. Wormwood is a small company that is located in an old walk-up apartment at Gilstead Road. I found it to be pretty interesting as we rarely get in touch with old buildings like this. Windy and peaceful and has nice smell of grass.

So far throughout my internship i have had the chance to learn the A - Zs of administrative work, from banking cheques to making calls to the big shots of the business. And even watering my boss's plants. To help me with this is a colleaque that works just over a meter beside me, Qiao Juan. She supervises the work i do and schools me with what i should do in my line of work.

So far one of the things i enjoy is going out on shoots. I am training to be what they call a P.A or Production Assistant. I basically help around in the shoots and making sure that the filming is kept on schedule and the things are running in the right order. A producer's right hand man. It is always interesting to see the project piece together from the works of the camera crew all the way to the post production editing. Learnt alot about what the outdoor shooting scenario demands and got to be in touch with more gadgets and appliances. I am so far liking what i am going through. Chunky is enlightened.

'Street' Dancing Outdoor Style @ Vivocity

Alex aka Poppin' AC getting down with some tight Popping.

I know i haven't been updating for a while because i have been busy with all my graduation shit. The school is done grading this project and now it will be carried out as a personal project from this time on. No more supervision and so, i am alone now.

Today, i spent a day chillin with my FB brothers and sisters when we chanced upon this really cool rooftop hangout located at Vivocity. The night wind was nice and it really was a sign of a great get-down time. And so we did. Future FB member and new freshie Alex aka Poppin AC is one of them guys who really rose to the occasion. Check him out. Someday he is going to be one of Singapore's finest poppers. He is just 16.


David Lee aka Stickman is feeling the new school groove.

Well. Alex wasnt the only one who was feeling the dance that night. David got up the platform and did his thing too. Need no more write-up on this one. His stuff can tell you everything!

I will be planning to include a chapter about an MTV of us and others dancing in the streets. These footages today could very well be the starting of a series of outdoor shoots! Watch this space!
