hello i yilin.
Today MOI students, mostly year one and two had to gather at LT24. Victric Thng came to give us talk, and showed us almost all his short films.
firstly, his short films was played.
the films are Twogether, The mole, Closer Apart, Goodbye Firefly, Bliss, Moonly, Lamentation and Locust.
indeed, his films gave a uncomfortable feeling yet is something that you have to face it. the reality that everyone have to face sooner or later.
almost all his films are depressing, especially Bliss, Moonly and Locust.
it gave me a feeling of lonely, someone that you love had actually left you, and a feeling of missing someone terribly.
these explained why it gave us a uncomfortable feeling, but it's a cycle of birth, old, ill and death.
we have to face it, so my personal feeling was maybe victric thng trying to express these?
i found out that his film had his own style of way filming it, mostly of his films was just letting images and images passing the time, and a speech of someone expressing the feeling.
so after seeing through his films, he came out and told us more about his film and his personal thoughts of what he had go through.
it was really interesting to know more about him, and how his films were made and where he got his aspirations.
but mostly his films were not really by aspiration, yet it was something more on the spot.
example, he said that he just took a video camera and video and shoot around. surprisingly to found out that it turned out to be very beautiful, which made him make a film out of it.
sometimes, when he don't intend to make a film, unintentional he would make a film.
but when sometime he intend to make a film, he failed to do so.
i felt it was interesting to know what behind the scene, or his thoughts behind the films.
many students had doubt and asked numbers of questions, he answered us patiently, and able to clear our doubts.
:)
beside all these, victric thng who graduate from TP, and it was a warmth feeling to see him recognising and asking how they do when he saw the lecturers and staffs.
overall i felt today was a worth to have met him and see through his films, and i believed this will inspire many of us who wanted to be future film-maker.
so after everything, our group, smarties! meet up together for a discussion on the council for third age, and we have to come out by two ideas of our own by tomorrow.
:) that's all, see you guy tomorrow.
