adressing two issues.

the vicky christina barcelona design

adressing two issues.
a) the feedback regarding the posters overall. 
i realised both posters are good. the cute ryan head one offers a the creepy vibe that is true to the film. however although it looks really good, it fails in comparison to the other decadent design we call the Vicky Christina Barcelona one.
thanks to the feedback offered by many including the recent ones by vincent and weisiang, we have adjusted the vicky design to look like what you see above. it's the best i can do with the limited options/skill i have.

b)the 'based on a true OBSESSION' title.
since everyone who reads this are not the general public but friends, i can unveil our sinister plot. Since a no. of you ask whose biography is DM based on... you know what....... i dont even want to explain it to everyone who asks me from now on because the fact that you ask me, means the little short quotation served it's sole purpose...

i hope u get it.

updates







okay i have not been updating all about the progress of the film. i shall do that now.
we have created a preview for caiyu. however her exams which ended not too long ago meant that the reply whether the film would be screening or not is yet to come. but we are keeping our hopes high because she thought the preview was 'hilarious'.
the 2 evenings where the bulk of the filming with all the cast has also been completed. the hardest scenes have been filmed in those days and everything went smoothly thanks to the hardworking helpers who came on that day to resolve all that me and kaywee could not do ourselves.
reshots of some scenes and voiceovers were also done on tuesday. some scenes really became really good. we are proud of the outcome of the day's takes that day. evidence can be seen on the screenshots i posted.
currently i am doing subtitles and some postproduction with whatever i've got. 
tomorrow ryan and kaywee will resume reshooting scenes again. hopefully by the 7th, everything will be filmed and i can focus on the postproduction. 
on the 7th, we will be doing the last filming scenes with the whole cast as well as the poster design planned for the film.
timothy wan is doing a studio recording soon of a song he composed for the film called confession of a broken heart for the film.
lyrics so emo! dont cry when you read it okay...

Confession of a Broken Heart (G Major Capo 1)


   C5
Maybe this won't sound right
Em5    Em
and maybe this won't sound pretty
C   D
but this is as real as it gets
   G
confessions from a broken heart


Maybe I'm not the perfect kind-a guy
and maybe I'm not right up your street
but listen to my un-pretentious
confessions of a broken heart


  C    D
You don't know how much it means to me
   G D/F#  Em
to see you smiling like a summer dream
Am     /Bm
I want you to be happy, 
    C D
even if you never know of me


G   Em
I watch you through, the looking glass
Am    C D
but always from a third person view
   G    Em
I'd sing to you, a song of love
C D
but you don't feel the same way too
     C B
you tore my heart into, a million pieces
    Em  Bm  C
with-out e-ven a clue
    Am     C D
lifeless my love becomes, like a rose
  G
wilted for you
