Astro Hitz - The Music Video Grant
A few months back, upon my return to Malaysia, I was approached by Reza Salleh, a wonderful singer songwriter to direct his first official music video - as part of Astro Hitz (Channel 705) The Music Video Grant. Each musician + filmmaker pair is awarded a sum of money to produce a music video within a given timeframe, and the video would premiere on the channel on the 28th of each month, for the next 10 months.
Brilliant idea, I must say! :)
We had the most fun working on the project! Dazman Samjis, a friend I got to know in New York came on board as producer, and he brought along the most amazing production crew from Phuturephlow Films (consisting of bunch of guys who went to New York Film Academy!) We shot on both the Canon 5D MK2 and Canon 7D, which produced stunning images (although I still prefer the Red) It was my first experience working with a technical/production crew back here in Malaysia - and what a great first experience that was as everyone was so helpful, fast and efficient in making sure we made our 12 hour day. Oh by the way, our DP for the day was Aaron Chung - brother of the famous filmmaker/actor Linus Chung :)
Catch the show on Astro Hitz (Channel 705) all of this month on these dates: http://www.astro.com.my/epg/programme.php?id=275332
For the Hujan Panas backers out there, please be patient as we sort out the mass printing of the DVD! They will be arriving on your doorsteps in the next month or two, so hang tight! oh and credits to our too awesome AD for that day ATOM for the picture!! :)
