our production company's logo

MELWEE MELWEE Productions

made up of our names melvin and kaywee: melwee. 

note: melvin's name is first only because melwee sounds better than kayvin. kayvin sounds like cave-in. melwee sounds fun. like us! haha. 

more good news

ok mark the film expert came to my home to film today. gave some great advice and technical tips. thanks to my dad, we resolved the problem of formatting the clips. now they are in the process of edit in Adobe Premiere Elements. Great!

a preview of the film would have to be completed by this sunday. with whatever we have, i hope we can complete this in time!

filming outdoors

beer bottles are some props we used.

kayweee busy demonstrating to ryan how he wants the picture to look.

the laptops alongside each other roughly shows the attempt we tried to convert the files to a format suitable for iMovie but till now we still cannot do it. tomorrow, mark teng will come and help out with our technical difficulty.

we gotta mac!

yup problem solved. our mac is attained. 

now all we have to worry about would be postproduction, whereby i would need assistance to edit. i have some experience but i dont believe it's good enough so anyone who knows naynoe who can work with a mac or a PC, whichever they are comfortable with, call me! 

drawing near.

okay as the days draw near to actual filming, i would use this opportunity to also announce i have gotten a macbook specially for damien's monologue.

also, certain props has been recieved from actors/actoresses of the shortfilm. 

regarding the filming, all scenes has been filmed except those that require Serene and the song singing parts.

Currently, the song, already memorized and playable on the piano both minor and major versions of it by ryan, is still yet to be filmed.

starting 17th to 27th, i plan to have a crew meeting. 2 to 3 days later, official filming shall begin. this schedule is based on the availability of people during this period of time.

i ask of all involved to set that period of time free from anything else and put DM first.

Thats all for now.
