I knew that it was going to be busy week when the new semester started in July with my own final short film project at College of Fine Arts and the upcoming web soap opera but I determine to apply for Live Streaming Multi-Cam course at Metro Screen. I have done live event and video work with post-production. It is a great opportunity to expose myself to live studio video production and somewhat merge two those medium into one.

The other thing is to see how Stilgherrian Live would be like when pimped up with multi-cam studio environment. It’s my habit to do something challenging. I want to bring an instant interactivity to television. Wouldn’t it be good to have that interaction amongst the presenter, the audience and the producer so that it wouldn’t be just a TV web cast on the Internet?

So far, we have a quiz show being Aussie, a voice of disables on the show and, of course, Cnut of the Week. viostream hosting the webstream for us instead of ustream as normal routine. Stilgherrian Live Metro Screen Special Edition will be webcast Friday 31 July from 2pm. Be there!

This is pretty much the last bit of Anywhere Chairs project, making DVDs. Because I was working with my own tools not the school's facilities, the first two DVDs with various of compressed file formats were made as the masters for Metro Screen and myself. They are in cases with printed covers. "It's about the presentation" I told them while handing one of the masters. This new batch of five is given to other associates: ]]> Anywhere Chairs DVD

I have been photographing abandoned chairs on the streets and in piles of junks to be collected by the Councils around Sydney with a camera phone for sometime. Although it seems dreary when capturing remains of broken furniture, what I see is the beauty of social interaction between the residents. In their short life cycles on the streets, they are dumped, offered, overlooked, moved, scattered, rearranged and finally picked up. We do not see whose actions to those chairs as if everyone is working together to create this Sydney’s urban responsive living.The film is part of Sydney Songlines workshop, sponsored by the City of Sydney at Metro Screen. I learn a lot from the process. Thanks Stilgherrian for the great narration and rafiralfiro for the wonderful music.

I am relieved to a certain degree. I’ve just finished the script for Sydney Songlines workshop. This is significant in many ways:

  • The first script since moving to Sydney.
  • The first screenplay since Uni.
  • The first piece I have written in English ever.

Junk Pile project is set to some direction. I very much enjoy this creative process. Production phase is on next week.

Exciting news! Starting this week, I will be in an intensive workshop, Sydney Songlines, supported by the City of Sydney at Metro Screen. I have been working on junk pile series for sometime. Anywhere Chairs is one of the projects. I believe this workshop will help me shaping up the project and directing me to produce other works in the series. We will see the result after the ten-session workshop in four weeks.
