My cousin, made me her plus 1 when she won an Astro competition to meet and dine with Ian Wright. Needless to say, everyone my age grew up watching him on tv.
Super star!
It was held at Delicious in Ampang
Sit down fixed menu looked promising as it consisted of food from all over his travels. Started off with Syrian Bread.
This is as good as it got. Everything else tasted bad and it was just a mess as nothing complimented each other. All the tastes clashed.
Okinawa terriyaki chicken. The liver was terrible.
Then Ian Wright showed up, Smashing through a silhouette screen naturally.
Rudy from hitz.fm hosted.
Event was primarily to promote his new show out next month- Ian Wright's Out of Bounds. He then shared with us his stories on his travels. Delightfully hilarious and down to earth, he made me feel like he was actually in front of me but still on tv!
He took photos in Cuba.
More food came. nyehhh
Some exotically named soup. But it was just minestrone soup to be honest.
Cousin's main was pulled Cuban beef. Tasted like cheap Mexican chillie.
Mine was Siberian baked chicken.
From then onwards i just didn't bother with photographing the food. It was just bad.
However! They had games and I went up to take on Ian Wright's team in PICTIONARY!
Sunscreen was the word.
It came down to a tie breaker as everyone answered right. Rudy had to draw. Word was snow. I got it. Ian got it second. He tried to CHEAT AND TAKE IT HOME!
REMATCH!
He won.
lollllllllllll!
I still got the prizes though.
Picture taking time.
Ian Wright, whacked me and accused me of cheating. (Serious, no joke) lol!!! My childhood hero.
After 6 months of problems due to the unavailability of sound post production until the awesome Brendan Lim stepped in. "Basement" is finally done!
The project started off when Fei, Weiyan and I were talking about making a horror movie with toilets. So we did!
Weiyan jumped in as DOP
Fei jumped in as the actor
Then we went old skool and recruited another of my fav actors, Eric:
Roped in the already established local actress extraordinaire: Bonnie,
And off we went! Along the way we got the help of Warren (who's the Best boy, literally!) :
and Lal! (but since i don't have a picture of you there on that day, I'll use Warren again!
and Cheng! But once again, no photo of you, so Warren it is!
This project required some interesting inventions like my Snorry-cam
and some of Weiyan's secret special effects stuff from his kitchen!
Day 1 of the shoot consisted of Fei and Weiyan's parts.
Some fun times with my DOP getting dirty in his own goo.
Day 2 involved the whole cast and crew.
We then finished up the corridor shots and move on 'indoors' into our special toilet. Once inside, we made ourselves at home and unpacked,
and threw on our make up!
Expected of course, were the incoming injuries,
and dancing.
I tried to throw my actors out of their comfort zones, to explore their inner depths
and secret desires.
But at the end of the day, work is nothing without the input of blood, sweat and tears.
But mostly blood.
I have to say to the entire team, thanks a million! Couldn't have done this without you! :)
Initially started as a project to experiment with semi-professional film equipment, this project has taught me to teach myself to use Final Cut Pro. Now I can safely say that I'm ready for more challenging projects in the future.
Now presenting: A little paranoia, a little toilet horror.
and dancing.
