I’ve heard a lot of variations of this song, but they’re mostly boozy memories from my National Service days of which the most distinct recollections I have revolve around glitzy lights, techno music and off key tones (or so I was told the following day). No wonder I was usually drunk during those ocassions, it was the only way to get through the night with my sanity intact!
Needless to say, I was a little hesistant when I found out that this would be the song Class Act would be playing. Thankfully I didn’t have to reach for my keychain that doubles as a bottle opener. The style adopted was a rather refreshing take for a beautiful song that’s been corrupted by techno. My particular favourite was the opening with the er hu.
Anyway, enough drivel. Have a look for yourself and feel free to comment. – Jin

And so feng(me) went on a shoot at Bollywood Veggies, yes, the one at Kranji run by feisty Ivy Singh-Lim. Was really stunned when i came face to face with this woman of steel. Seeing her knife and parang strapped round her waist was a menacing sight to behold but no, she was really nice. She kept asking us how the shoot went and all. it was a good experience meeting her afterall. Enjoy the pictures!

Having seen this, I’d dare say that still cameras complement video extremely well. This was shot on a Canon 20D and the shutter was exposed every 30 seconds over a long period of time. Then, it was carefully stitched together to form this masterpiece. Having said that, one musn’t forget how the music complements the entire video as it clearly shows how music and images can work together to form a multi-sensory experience.
Another video shot on Full HD. This video was shot on the Sony EX3 and Letus Extreme. Amazing colours, details and contrast. Just check out the fluidity of the motion of the people in the video and you will know why. After yesterday’s company meeting, we’ve decided this will be the next thing on the shopping list after we move to our new premises! These are exciting times!
