...metzed me up...

...ideas thru illustration. thats the tagline for metz team. and yes, indeed that is very true. ideas thru illustration is another method of creative problem solving. the coming out with ideas and conceptualizing them thru illustration is another form of imagining and creating. being creative is about being feasible and original. its about divergence in problem solving techniques.

i was working on this new project for a company recently and i was quite abit stuck with what i have in mind. i was so having constipation of the mind. i dreaded to go thru the normal way of presentation. i hated the same old way. then i was metzed! wakakaz. metz's has a great deal of influence in my life; especially my three teenage sons. ideas thru illustration has indeed provided me with a new way of thinking.

the whole conceptualization of the ideas took me more than a few days. and i was totally constipated. but a short ten minutes break and metzing around; toiling with metz namecard, and i got metzed! ideas thru illustration. and now i have an idea. i have a concept. and all it took was just a sketch of what i have in mind.

...stuffed ytf...

...i believe that every completion of a project must end with a celebration. its a way to show appreciation. and with the completion of the dnd trailer the three of us decided to celebrate by treating ourselves with non other than stuffed fish meat in tasty beancurd, vegetables and chillies. wakakaz. yong tau foo. stuffing ourselves with 50 pieces of yong tau foo. burp! ergghh. we are all dem stuffed!...

...you've been metzed...

...you have been metzed! yeap. that is a new term in town. and the metzteam was metzing around with their cameras and monopods and fine weather and sudden stroke of rain. were you metzed? zap back to the present. metz team amplified the resonance of what teamwork is all about. yes, you have been metzed.

planning and storyboarding and thinking and strategizing does take up alot of time. jt was not around when we filmed the trailer, but we know that his moral support from afar does help to keep the spirit running. his constant nagging oops, cheers kept running thru our ears the whole filming as if he was around. why liddat? aiyoh. no.no.cannot. erghh!...see what i mean. oops..kidding only jt. jt had his long long super long break back in penang with his family. dn was down with fever and sore throat when the concept was materialised and ty was facing his worst and most not anticipated event of a college student; the nitemare of finals. and all three of them pulled it off.

MEtz team boleh again in completing yet another video. all three of them have this amazing vibes, strong connection, excellent teamwork that is able to make things happen...

...cut cut cut. boh-eng arr...

...lights! camera! action!!!. a day in a life of a film director. so fortunate to be able to tag along the director and producer for a movie shoot. so many actions calling. so many cut cut cut. malaysian likes to repeat their words many times. cut cut cut. no wonder we are all tired people. action. action. wei action arr. it was a so farnee film directing session. actors were laughing all the way; not able to control their laughter. camera man clicking all the way with flash; no wonder sometimes we see flashes in movie. wakakakz. i was totally wiped out after the one-day-tag-along. totally out. exhausted. no strength to move. all i can do was just lie down and look at the ceiling. the shooting of the dnd trailer. awesome!

MEtz team did an excellent job. amazing, all scenes were shot at one single location, guess where? wakakaz. transformed into 18 scenes all together the whole trailer talks about making time to those who matters. MEtz's were giving direction to the casts on what to do and how to do it and where to stand, which angle will look nice and briefing them on the theme of the shoot. 18 scenes. 10 cast members one location 5 hours.

action. action. wait. wait wait. not enough lights la. wait. boh eng. you stand here lar. wei i look fat from this angle lar. wei, don take face ok. not free arr. boh eng boh eng. how to put the blanket. ooi, feed slowly la. u feed sick people liddat one mer? profits has gone down adi. kringg..kringg..boh eng boh eng. how do we increase our profits? oi meh liddat. cut cut cut. stop stop. wei the phone didnt ring geh. aiyoh! (smack the hand on the forehead). wei, not free la. mm tak han arr. wah boh eng. boh eng. not free la. how many times tell u. wah boh eng. boh eng.

tagging along the whole shoot i got to learn new skills on how to direct people and how to work with our celebrities actors. really challenging but extremely fun. toughest was getting the rain out and crossing the road. hot and sunny rainy day on a busy street filming. congrats MEtzteam for pulling it all together for a wonderful trailer. i get to live a life of the people in the film industry. totally boh eng...
