I'm back to rock!

My last blog post is so last year, literally!

Last year I made one of my wishes come true.. I had the opportunity together with 3 other buddies to produce a music video for a local artist. Although eventually it didn't end up as the official video due to some certain circumstances. It was a wicked experience and loved every hectic, stressful second of it :)

Shall be posting a brief about the pre-production/production/post-production soon!

In the meantime, you can check out the music video here:-

Volkswagen Polo Advertisement (Recreating Task)

Apparently, we had to choose an advert and recreating it again but this time it has to be TOTALLY opposite of what it was orginally. While I was doing my research, I came across this one:

                                        

    

Form: Anti-Realist Narrative
Style: Humorous

> In my opinion, it is fun to watch, easy to remember and the aimed message has been delivered to the viewers in the easiest and funniest way possible! Well done! :D

My recreation... This time for a Volkswagen Camper :)

Bicycle Thieves : Review

Rating: 6 out of 10


"Bicycle Thieves" is an Italian film which was released on November 24,1948. A neorealist film directed by Vittorio De Sica. Basically, the film is about a poor man searching the streets of Rome for his stolen bicycle, which he needs to be able to work.


The camera angles,shots and acting were quite good, but the storyline was far too simple to satisfy my tastes.I actually felt that the storyline was 'wasted' on a man searching for his bike. As simple as that!


Over all, let alone the storyline (in which I do believe it's a matter of tastes) I consider this film as a well made film, technically speaking (obviously!)
