Adrian's Journal

I just completed and uploaded my latest video assignment. Please watch it here... http://www.videolane.com/?Videos:Asian_First_Films_2007 It is a star-studded Awards Ceremony for the Asian Festival of First Films organized by Teamwork Productions in Singapore on 4 December 2007 at Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel. Here is what I have to do as a videographer working alone. THE EARLY BIRD I like to arrive 2 hours before the event starts. This gives me ample time to survey the place, watch the last minute rehearsals and find out the exact flow of the event. For recording stage shows, I will also need some time to plant my tripod on the best spot and hook up the sound feed to my camcorder. EAT THE SOUND Getting the sound feed means hooking up my camcorder audio input to the hall audio system's output. That is, instead of recording ambient surrounding noise, I have crisp clear sound recording from every microphone setup on stage. Got to do this early because I know lots of press media people...

Asian Festival of 1st Films 2007 Opening Night The world's premiere Film and Documentary Festival showcasing first time documentaries and film's across 9 award categories including producers, directors, actors, screenplay writers, technicians from people of Asia - Pacific origin. Videography by VideoLane.com I Wonder... It was a pleasant experience to work in this star-studded event organized by Teamwork Productions of Singapore. Makes me wonder when will my first film production be featured on a night like this. Hmmm... See You on YouTube!

Was invited to a screening at the 20th Singapore International Film Festival (SIFF)... at the theatre in the MUSUEM! I was more impressed with the newly revamped Musuem than the film... I thought I saw some chandeliers swinging wildly at a distant... no time to explore... got to network then watch the film. I could have walked out in the middle of the screening... but stayed on to see if the film had any inkling of positive light. This is just another film that glorifies drugs, smoking, drinking, sex, violence, corruption, gangsters... TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE! I wouldn't make this kind of film... but then... sad to say I think very few will watch my kind of film without those elements :( ...
