Last week I was occupied by a master class, Live Streaming Multi-Course course at Metro Screen. It was full time 5 days course and we finished it with a live production streaming on the Internet via Viostream. It turned out that the program we did was the one I pitched with some segments from others’ pitching. Although it realised my vision to have a decent live webcast with chat stream go together, my short film, Memory of You | Reflection of Me, was slowed down a notch. Things to do:
- Script revision — When I think about it, the bathroom is the only scene that is in Betty’s perspective whereas the rest is in Daniel’s eyes. This scene is important to portray her mental state and leads to the decision to hurt herself before Daniel knocks the door and save her. I have Rigur Ros music and Diving Bell and the Butterfly to inspire me to come up with the final script revision.
- Storyboard — I could go ahead with it but the main scene is about to change.
- Crew — Some are locked in but I still need to find Assistant Director, Sound Recordist and a Boom Operator
- Location — I will be inspecting the location I have in mind soon. The house has what I vision it but I am not sure there would be enough room for the production.
However, there were some good progress on this major project. The cast has been selected and confirmed with them. There will be the cast meeting this coming Friday to discuss the script and production. I am looking forward to it.

This is the memoir of how my major project at College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, unfolds. We, Master of Digital Media students, were asked to write a blog about our projects on the schools server. This film is very much personal since it is mainly about mental illness and I am currently climbing out of the depression. I hope that the experience of making this short film would share what I have been going through and will make some awareness of the issue.
