Adrian's Journal

Look at the video they have created in just 2 days... For 2 days I was tied up in the studio with 7 interested learners. They were a mix of working adults and one polytechnic student. This is one of the best lessons I have conducted. The participants were so full of energy and ideas. The video above was mostly their creative input working as a team. I was only just the actor and content writer while they did the rest. Day one was about using the camcorder and Day 2 the technique of video editing. More than technical skills, there was also the art of creating compelling videos. Video making skill is a requirement in most work places today, Like knowing how to use the computer, one must know how to make a video. I am now scheduling the next 2-day Basic Videography Course next month. You can see the announcement at http://videolane.com/courses/basic-videography .

It was all french to me, though at least now I know what "femmes" mean! There was English translation on the side, but I was too busy recording the play. I still cannot believe this is Emma's first stage performance.  It's just too professional! I have shot plenty of arts festival stage drama, so I know what's crap and what's not. This is one comedy you got to watch.  Based on a famous french story "L'Avare" or "The Miser". Playing from 3-6 Feb 2010 at the Alliance Francaise Theatre - Singapore.  Book your tickets from Sistic.  More Details here... http://videolane.com/TheMiser Adrian Lee

Image by Cengiz.uskuplu via Flickr Writing an autobiography is an ideal way to capture the stories of your life and the times you’ve lived in. When writing an autobiography about yourself, focus on three major things: who you are in life what life means to you and what your outlook on the future is. How to Write An Autobiography: Find a quiet and comfortable place to do your writing. Sit down in front of a computer or with a pen and a few sheets of paper. Brainstorm and get your mind thinking about yourself. Write everything you can think of about yourself. Think about your family, friends and relationships. Think about your accomplishments. eg. awards, medals or trophies you've won in school or out of school. Include things that you might even consider small. Think as far back as you can remember. Start off with facts about your life. eg. when and where you were born, where you live, where you go to school and who you live with. A logical beginning would be your...

Cover of War of the Worlds (Widescreen Edition) 5 July 2009 7.30pm: Tom Cruise War of the Worlds Movie Review This is one unique movie, in my view, where the story revolves around father and daughter relationship. Unlike the usual tired script about love, as in romance. I can relate with the movie. I have daughters too, the little one around the same age as the girl in the movie. Somehow I put myself in Tom Cruise character's shoes and I could feel his emotions. I would do exactly the same things he did in the movie. Running and hiding from wicked aliens with a very young daughter is definitely not the same as doing it alone or with friends. Your reactions to life threatening situations are diffrent. You have your own helpless innocent little girl to protect. Even to split up momentarily in chaos is so heartbreaking. I thought if the daughter was a little older and slightly independent, the story will be different. It will also be different if the kid was a boy. I don't ...
