Greetings from a film shoot

Me, totally T.T-ing

I finally can breath for a bit. Hi! How is everyone? I see DarkMirage has made a new site, tj han’s still making lame nyoro comics, LianYL’s BRstick still going strong, bj0rn still hopeless in love with a girl that doesn’t know he like her and some of you people got so excited over giving roses to the girls at cosafe. If I miss anything out, that’s probably because I haven’t read your blog. Pimp the links on the comment if you want to. Oh and yesterday I got k-lined from Rizon, so I can’t get on #sganimebloggers now. Fucking netsec banned me for 4319 mins. God knows how long that is.

I’m currently now on Day 6 of my film shoot, and it’s been a crazy madcap shoot so far. Sometimes I wonder why I chose to leave my cosy computer chair where I can either watch anime all day long instead of doing anything productive, but I guess I want to make something out of this boring life we’re all given. So instead of escaping to a fantasy world, I’m creating one, albeit in a language I don’t understand.

I promised pictures from the shoot, but I only have pictures from Day 1. The past few days have been moving so fast and they are all lined up back to back with 12 hour shoots, I’ve been having as little as 0 to 3 hours worth of sleep in order to prepare for the next day’s shoot. Being the AD (Assistant Director) is difficult, especially when you are new to the industry.

Sinema Old School

Posted by tsubaki | Filed under Film

Filming started yesterday and it’s crazy due to the mad down pour. Fricking unfriendly weather, but fortunately for us it worked for the scenes we were shooting. I’ve got some pictures, but I don’t have time to upload them.

Before I make a run for my shoot now, I thought I should share with everyone about Sinema Old School. If you’re a film buff, I suggest signing up for this. I’m really excited about the prospect of a indie cinema that showcases local films and I’ve been to the the theater as well and it’s blood awesome. Free seating theater ftw.

Sinema Old School is the first sofa-styled, free-seating independent cinema for Singapore films located within the ultra hip Old School at 11 Mount Sophia. It will open its doors officially on the 12th December in conjunction with Eric Khoo’s 12 Storeys 10th anniversary celebration.

Housing a 130-seater High Definition cinema made possible by Panasonic, a film and creative merchandise retail outlet as well as studio and post facilities made possible by Apple, Sinema Old School hopes to be the homebase for Singapore filmmakers and film lovers!

Besides regular short+feature film screenings, future activities will also include technology workshops, film forums and dialogue sessions as well as gigs for local bands and musicians.

The retail store wants to be the first in Singapore to distribute and sell DVDs by Singapore Filmmakers, CDs by Singapore bands and musicians, magazines by local indie publishers, books by Singapore writers

Works can be published or unpublished (we can help publish it). It can even be self-published (a.k.a DIY!)

It will also have indie filmmaking gear and products for sale too.

Contact us if you want your works to be available for sale at our store!

Sinema Old School is also available for rental for creative and performing arts groups seeking to collaborate with filmmakers on special projects.
