The end of an era

Busy clearing out my junk at work, but guess what I found in my personal folder!

Yeap, I'm going miss these little things when I leave..

Before I go...

To make sure I get everything in order before I leave next week, I
have resorted to a to-do list that even has little boxes for me to
tick off when I complete a task!

Fangirl

I can has new Tegan and Sara shirt! This was bought by my colleague
who went to the Melbourne gig and got me this shirt from the
merchandise stand. So jealous!!

Open up your loving arms, watch out here I come

This song makes me feel like dancing, except that I'm cooped up at my desk trying to transcribe some lousy interview with a guy who talks in a Swedish accent. IKEA IKEA IKEA!

Haiku of the day

The weekend is here/
Now it's tine to drink some beer/
Glug glug glug glug glug

48-hour film shoot: 1.39am

Done with the train station shoot and on to the second location, which
happens to be at the Kopitiam near Singapore Management University.

48-hour film project: 11.20pm

The actors are here and we're on our way to our first location to
shoot! Right now the co-directors are briefing the actors on the story
and on what they should say. There really isn't a fixed script and
they've been asked to improvise their lines to some certain extent.

48-hour film project: 9.34pm

On a location recce at the new Bras Basah station. The station
interior reminds me vaguely of the set design in the movie Gattaca,
which was one of the sci-fi films that inspired this shoot.

48-hour film shoot: 8.43pm

We park the car at Plaza Singapura to do a little bit of location
scouting along Orchard Road. Because it is a public holiday and/or
Saturday, it's hard to find a carpark and I end up having to park on
the eighth level - the open-air floor. I never even knew this place
existed.

48-hour film project: 3.05pm

Production meeting in Nicole's room, talking about things such as the
visual effects execution and choice of wardrobe and props.

48-hour film shoot: 1.20pm

Waiting for Nicole at West Mall, so we decided to swing by Udders
while we wait. I'm having Chocolate Orange Bitters, with triple sec in
it. Mmmm.

48-hour film project: 1.10am

After a short break, the team convenes again at Nicole's house to finalise the details (such as convincing the male actor to come onboard) and the final plot.

We bring ice-cream because sugar is good.

48-hour film shoot: 8pm

Went to Al-Ahmein for palak paneer and butter chicken while Nicole and Dave bang out ideas for their film. Memory vampires? Chance encounters? The sci-fi genre is fun.

We stay there till 11.30pm and I also received a $10 parking fine at it too. Bloody ticket wardens flock to me like a moth to a flame, seriously.

48-hour film project: 7pm, 30 April

I arrived one hour after the briefing started, which is just as well,
seeing how I wasn't too keen on listening to the rules. (For one,
there's a rule that there shouldn't be payment for actors.) I did
manage to see the various teams draw for their genres. Dave and
Nicole's team, Method Madness, drew the sci-fi genre, to some applause
from other filmmakers.
