Day 03

Visit/Talk by Victric Thng

We reported to LT 24 at 9.15am for the talk.
Before the guest came we were to watch a collaboration of his short films for 50mins.
Thng's works are very sentimental, the one i enjoy the most was Locust.

I liked the feel of longing in that short film i guessed it was my favourite because of the homosexuality content but it was more deep for me as homosexuality is somewhat a taboo.

Later Thng arrived he gave us a talk about his films and the process he went through to become what he his now. He advise us on serveral things such as to appreciate criticisms and to make good friends while staying in the school for they might be ur partners and supporters in future. He told us about the essentials of film making and hopes that the film-makers from MOI can continue their legacy.

Third Age Exercise Progress

We are still on research stage where we are evaluating the relavant ideas to form the 2 proposals. To me the group is doing fine and working at a steady pace.

We had to gather at LT24 at 9.15am in the morning for someone that was from TDS 10 years ago. I later remember his name was Victric Thng.

At first, i thought giving up two hours of my sleeping time to watch films and listen to someone i don't really care was crazy but after watching some of the films, i find them really interesting and is not as boring as some of the local short films. Maybe one of the reasons is that it is not a typical drama, puppy love, your whole family die kind of film, but something more in-depth and you have to think about it before understanding what he was trying to express.

But i couldn't handle all of his films and because i had to wake up two hours earlier, i fell asleep and only woke up when the films had ended. I finally saw how he looked like, he had a really cool hairstyle that every(almost) secondary student had 5-6 years back.

I didn't really have any question for him, maybe because I'm not yet that much into making films but i will be, as animation is too much for me to handle. Anyway, i couldn't understand most of the things he was saying, but at least i tried to.

I remembered him asking the lecturers what happened to TDS during the past years as we haven't been domineering a competition in some country. He might have meant what were the lecturers doing, but hey who am i to interpret what was the meaning of his question.

I didn't regret giving up two hours of my sleep.
