Tasks Breakdown
The day has been spent on mindmapping on how the final project could be done. This process actually helps me realising the time frame. Thank you to mindmapping tool, FreeMind. It is handy to export it in HTML with JavaScript like this.
However, the scheduling is done in Gantt chart Microsoft Excel. I will have to get a better way to present it for the upcoming pitching.

Anywhere Chairs on Metro Screen
Just a quick note that Metro Screen has put Anywhere Chairs on their site along side with other shorts in the Sydney Songlines Project. It the first year anniversary of this tiny film of mine.
Cinema 16 British
16 doses of shorts from UK masters.
It seems unreal that someone put my favourite filmmakers on the same disc: Ridley Scott, Peter Greenaway, Mike Leigh and even Martin Parr, who are more recognised as a documentary photographer. It is the compilation of early works that gave them the launch pads to their big career. You can find that shorts are likely be more freely creative, sometime more indulgent than feature length films. But that craft of producing a long movie is another complex story. And this proves how these directors still keep the their own story telling style.
The usual themes are about coming of age which is fair enough that artists’ first picks are close to themselves. Anyhow, growing up in the UK is just a tad out of my cultural references. They are just too bleak for my liking. The piece I like the most is Telling Lies by Simon Ellis with its humour and simple graphics. His first feature debut will be released soon. Watch out for this guy.
There are more in this Cinema 16 series: European, American, European (US Edition) and World which is due in early 2008. Can’t wait to see more.

This work is pretty much the same content as Red Sofa, exhibited on Marrickville Art Prize 2007, but different medium. When the print was commented at the opening night that it cried out loud to be a moving image, I could not agree more. I am happy to take that on board. And here we go, another short films collection of dumped stuff on the streets of Sydney after Anywhere Chairs.
Anywhere Chairs DVD
Posted by 'Pong in DVD, Movies, Photography, Shorts on 17/07/2007
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:
I keep one and will give one away. Interested, anyone? Just leave a comment on this post and tell us what item you would like to dump on the street the most. The DVD will be posted to the witty lucky winner which will be selected by the end of next week, Sunday 22 July 2007. Be imaginative.
