I have been on a filming project, that tells the story of the relationship between father and son. It has been a enjoyable filming, as well as acting together with the little boy. The boy is quite cooperative, which we didn't expect at first. Most importantly he is having fun! Interestingly then I knew that the boy is actually my friend's brother. It made me recall was probably of the shot that he took his shot of his brother for his assignment, a very close-up natural shot. Most of the credits should have gone to Wanying. For finding the environment scene as well as the little boy; without it we might have difficulty taking the shots. Although I feel that this filming is rather rushed. Well at least, it is a try-out for the juniors who have started with such filming equipments. Let it be an experience, that will them know how filming are shot. Thereafter applying them towards their final animation pipeline.

A leader is one who not only leads the group towards the end of the journey, but also whom heeds the advices of its followers. It will only then shows a true real leader in the field. If you can't heed the advices, but blindly walk alone. No matter what you are doing, will never be knew till you walk out the end. Now that is exactly as walking towards a wall and knock it with your head; without knowing that there will be a pain in the aftermath. Everyone around you is your mirror, a mirror that reflects on what your behaviour and attitude will be. If audience can't portray the feeling inside the film, then seek for the fault why the element is not there. It can be physical or emotional faults. We are the one looking in the perspective of an audience. An actor will never know how it will look like, after the shot was taken.

Clearly after I have reviewed in my big screen, I have also found that there are a few detailed error, that doesn't really suit the emotion. I notice there was a scene I was almost revealing like a white eye, yet none knows why I am sitting like a dead man. There is always a reason to everything that is of substance. There is a reason why composers who wrote lyrics always can't get the feel, the rhythm right. Yet only after he has gone through it, he is able to portray the feel from his mind down to the lyrics. No one knows how and what is inside your mind, only until you show it, write it. Even just by saying out isn't enough, because in the end it is still projected back to the mind. Who knows what will it be like, it is not possible for a first try to have both the same visualisation. It has to be always a physical act.

Even for Wanying, in the first place she claims that the hastily walk isn't enough. So I asked her to act it out, she also can't get the feel right. In the end she admits that she can't. It is the difference between saying out, and acting out. People are always visually-inclined, they feels that seeing is believing. That's also the reason why I ask to review the first time with sound, and the second time without sound. Most of the time sound makes the emotion stronger, with impact. However if the visuals can already show the anger, the happiness, emotions in a strong vivid image. Audience will definitely know the actor is angry or happy. Think in another way, why do they put subtitles in the first place?

I really hope why you know why I feel that it is not right.
