'Sireh Tersepit Sdn. Bhd.'

Just got back from my first day at FINAS' class on Pengurusan filem. Hahaa... seriously speaking... byk benda yg mengejutkankan dan sedikit 'shocking'! (exeggerate je ni...)

First... Being a producer (theoritically) are much clearer now to me on do's and don'ts'. Ada yg makin susah, dan ada yg makin senang based on pengurusan video yg aku belajar dulu dgn 'mat london' + 'pak ibrahim'. Overall, it comes to the same perspectives of pre, pro and post. Cuma hari ni basically, dibincangkan ttg pre-production all day long!

Kali ni view yg diketengahkan agak berbeza dgn sblm ni, kita diajar more on how to react, control and understand the main subject which is : BOUNDARIES! + trust. seemuaaanya akan end-up kat topik ni. Trust yg interesting sebenarnya, sbb benda ni yg 'superbly' subjective! It starts from the beginning. To do or not to do! Lebih kurang.

Secondly,.... hahahaa... seriously, U-Wei... one funny hellava guy! tak sangka, ingat garang... rupanya kelakar, sinis dll. One big thinker yg. boleh gain respect just by beborak-borak kosong (bukan borak tin kosong). Anyway, x tau lagi mcmana dgn the nxt 4 days going to be. but, having the first day this interesting... i bet i'm gonna get more of 'theories' adventure. hope so, aminn!!!

ESA (Environmental Sensitive Area) - Road Trip

Akhirnya dapat jugak settlekan shooting yg x sudah-sudah. Asyik tertangguh. Anyway, yg ni xdelah se'adventure' sbelum ni, tp, sbb kali ni ada kamera, so, direkodkanlah pengalamannya (Jozz sbg watak utama!! <-- gila glamer)

Bergerak start dari KL menuju ke Seremban (di bulan puasa)... pinjam kereta Satria Milan.


:: perjalanan yg disangka akan menjadi lancar, yah yah yahh!! (pinjam expression cik ni)

kat seremban ni basically nak amik gambar area kuari diletupkan. Mmg excited gila la bila dpt tau boleh experience benda ni first hand. Meletup beb!!! berapa byk kali sgt dpt tgk 'live' benda ni (walaupun x sehebat manapun).




:: aku expect something like KEBOBOOO!!! BRRUUPPP!!! TEBAAABBO!!! tp rupanya dia mcm just 'BOOM!', damn those new technology, bikin hilang ke-excited-an dia.

tp seriously, bila ada kat atas bebukit yg ditarah ni, mcm2 view menarik boleh dpt. Most of them industrial look la sbb situ pun area industrial yg diklasifikasikan sbg sensitif utk pembangunan, tp common man... 'BOOM!' je? aii...



kemudiannya perjalanan disambung menuju ke arah destinasi yg lebih indah dan permai iaitu Pangkor Laut. Setelah kecewa dgn letupan 'kecil' di Seremban aku rasa Pangkor ni probably dpt menaikkan semula semangat kami utk menemui adventure yg lebih menarik. Yeah!.




Sampai Pangkor Laut ni pd waktu mlm, ada gaduh-gaduh sikit dgn makcik tiket (bedebah MAKCIK kerek!!!). Anyway, the next morning, kitaorg 'boat trip' ke pulau apa ntah sebelah tu, nak ambik gambar area tepi pantai + kawasan lembab. So, Jozz, did the stunt all the way!!!








Lepas tu, apalagi ... HAPPY HOURS!!! snorkeling la beb! tp aku join skejap je sbb err... not a water type kind of guy. Jozz on the other hand, men'duyung' all the way which, sesekali nampak mcm dugong terapung (menikmati view dasar laut la kononnnn)





sampai abang bot paksa balik, kitaorg pun beredarlah dgn rasa senang hati (memandangkan chicks2 pun dah takde dah) kitaorg hampir paling lama kat situ... bekerjalah kononnya.






:: On the way pegi bebuka puasa guna kereta sewa iswara aeroback baru (selesa jugak kereta ni), tiba-tiba terserempak dgn encik monyet, so, jadilah perbualan indah ni:-
"ah... monyet! monyet!... berenti, aku nak ambik gambar monyet! alahai... comelnyaaa...makan pisang, hahahaa inilah yg dinamakan wildlife!"
"itu bukan pisanglah!!! itu sampah!!!"
"monyet makan sampah!? alahai...comelnyaa........................"


Susah rupanya nak carik kedai makan melayu kat Pangkor ni (yg murah especially!)


keesokan harinyaa, balik ke mainland! hehe... utk next spot, TAMAN NEGARA, here we go!

Namun begitu, bak kata pepatah...air yang tenang jgn disangka tiada buaya...(walaupun kurang tepat dr segi penggunaannya)




entah macamana on the way tu, tiba-tiba kereta jd panas!!! rosak tgh jalan... radiator dah melingkup, sakit hati aku!!!


:: Jozz jelas fed-up di sini... nasib baik dia alim, kalau tak dah mencarut dah, amin!




habis kena overhaul, nak taknak kena terima je lah, sewa kereta sekali lagi, kena sampai ke pahang mlm ni jugak sebab esok nak kena kejar ke taman negara.



:: di karak highway dgn kereta sewa...speeding!!! (acah aje)




dari Jerantut berangkat ke Taman Negara... bermula dgn wowwww!!! cantikknyaaa alam semulajadi... tp apsal hutan dia pokok kelapa sawit... rupa-rupanya sbb x sampai lagi...jauhhhhh lagi, end-up barulah real, di kelilingi hutan yg tebal. walaupun jln tar dia fully maintained, alam kesemulajadian tetap terasa!!! hehe... seriously!!!





sungai yg harus diredah (i mean ke seberang dgn bot) sblm sampai 'purely' ke hutan negara. but, alang-alang sebelum sampai ke seberang, we thought why not, kita belasah ambik gambar sungai cokelat dulu.








:: homie!





:: Taman Negara Drift King!!! we salute you!!! respect!!!


:: Selamat menyeberang, so, apalagi... dgn tak sabarnya merempuh alam semulajadi utk direkodkan...






:: ular daun





:: semut



:: babi hutan... (tak nampak kat dlm gambar sbb aku x berani nak pegi dekat)

so, itulah basically yg kitaorg ambik, budget nak ambik sampai dalam tp dgn gaya babi hutan yg berlegar-legar tu, kitaorg end-up dgn 2 species wildlife je, iaitu ular daun dgn semut (itupun kalau semut boleh dikategorikan dlm geng wildlife!) BEDEBAH babi hutan!!!



setelah berpeluh sepanjang hari kat dalam hutan, kitaorg pun balik ler semula ke jerantut bebuka puasa dgn 2 ekor ikan patin!!! (nama je jerantut bandar ikan patin, tapi satu kedai je jual... sesat-sesat jugakla mencarik!)

selesai dari mkn-mkn, balik tidur, then we're back to KL utk ambik gambar wildlife lagi. iaitu di zoo negara!!! (aiii)






well, basically that's it... takdelah se-adventure sebelum ni (cameron highland, langkawi, kawasan pelupusan sampah <-- busuk gila!!! taman kelip-kelip, dsb,) tapi that will do! yg penting matlamat tercapai, amin!

Rough Cut

Waahh... finally wanted to write a borak kosong (since no activity!). Damn, just did a shooting job at the 'panas'test' area in KL, Kajang (sorry kajang-ians). Turns-out aku ngan Jozz nak bikin cinematography yg ala-ala Hollywood dgn tak malunya meminjam Dolly Panther utk mendapatkan efek yg 'kool'.

So, to tell u guys the truth (film/video laymen), Ya! memang kitaorang tak reti pakai. Basically, ada beberapa kesimpulan yg dpt dipelajari daripada pengalaman tersebut:-

1. Dolly Panther = BERAT!!! dgn crew yg seramai 2 org mmg pasti dpt menghasilkan peluh yg setanding dgn bersukan.


2. Equipment Preparations = KERJA GILA!!! shooting yg nak pakai 5 saat sbnarnya memerlukan lebih kurang setengah jam utk pasang-bukak...

3. Transportation = VAN atau LORI!!! aku akan make sure x pakai kereta biasa lagi (Proton)... Nak angkut keluar barang mcm nak berperang, susah!!!

4. Film Crew Job = (Key Grip, Cameraman, gaffer, bla-bla-bla, dll. yg berkenaan) mmg bukan keje senang. Aku skarang memandang tinggi terhadap korang yg buat kerja ni. RESTECPO!!!

5. Make sure skru kamera sinonim dgn kepala tripod yg dipinjam!!! Ended-up tak dapat buat shooting sbb skru x kena, so main-main je lah atas troli dolly panther tu, YEAH!!!


buang masa

5 RINGGIT

Synopsis: What is the value of 5 ringgit? This story follows the journey of a 5 ringgit bill on one hot sunny day, transferred from one hand to the next, from person to person, from story to story, always changing in value and significance according to its owner.

The film is directed by Anna Mariana, a dear friend of mine. Comel orangnya... hehe. Anyway, the short film is one of 74 entries for BMW Shorties. Nice message, cute presentation and to me, it's about how people view things differently, and this is one of it - Anna's point of view.

Have fun watching it!!
