Getting a job doing post production

1. Be proactive. If you run out of stuff to do and you can’t think of anything, ask your editor if there’s anything you can help him/ her with.

2. Don’t walk in the editor’s room without a pad and pen. Also, if you’re starting out and are under a lead, carry a pad and pen with you everywhere.

3. Listmaking. I keep a list of tasks I have to accomplish and check them off as I go.

4. Always shine–take every opportunity to shine. Bottom line: It’s always hard to find good people/ assistants, so if you do well with the little things, people will be more willing to give you more responsibility (which leads to more opportunities). Make yourself indispensable.

5. Be nice. No one will go the distance for you/ help you if they hate you.

Mount Faber Singapore

A video that was created as part of a 6 part clip that goes into the interactive screens in the cable cars linking Mount Faber to Sentosa Singapore.

This was shot over 2 days with the Red One.

There was no audio requirement, so this is audioless at the moment. I am open to audio suggestions. Anyone has any music they strongly believe should be included with this track for Vimeo viewing?

Finally got to see the actual output at the BMW booth at Raffles City.

For the last two days, was pixel peeping at little parts of this picture while doing the background replacement and repainting the windows and windscreen as well as repainting reflections.

Here is a link to the before and after on a section of the website thats not linked up yet. So this is the only link to it for the moment.

This is as complete as it gets. It's so true that films never get completed. They simply run out of time or run out of money.
