Making the Video

Posted in , , , , , ,

I always loved the idea of making movies. The recent past did not just made it all happen. There are various reasons that I was not able to do it:

(1) Lack of passion (Read: interest should be a continuing event, else you loose fire, I lost some fire and rekindled them in a while);

(2) Tools (I did not have enough tools - software and hardware to get it all done. My past computer just break down because of these and that.)

(3) Focus (The world is really full of distractions. I lost most of it most of the time. Work is the number distraction. LoL)

(4) Subject (It takes a lot of energy, effort, coordination and skill in talking to people to get around your idea and sometime you just have to repeat to square 1 over and over again. It sucks sometimes, but hey, that's part of it.)

(5) Production (Ain't nothing is free in the metro. So, I would have some few doubts if the effort is worth the time. Time is money. I lost time, I lost money.)

I ain't really reader friendly when writing nowadays. Sigh.. LoL.

Anyway, back to topic. I just created my first full length MTV. Yup, that's Mandy Television, este, music TV. And the song is called "Voulez Vous." The song was lifted from the movie called "Mamma Mia," based on the ABBA music.

Based on this unscheduled production, I got indirectly invited to do it. So, upon confirmation from everybody that nobody's aint gonna do it, I call my shots. I just have to do it for the sake of getting the team claim their own MTV. I'm not even part of their capability but I did not mind. I just love the team to get their MTV done. And it would be a real challenge for me to get an MTV done.

So, I started listening to this unlikely song. I even forgot this part in the movie. But, hey, there's YouTube, so I guess I found the cue. But - what's the music all about?! It posed a real problem. I was restless for one weekend just trying to dissect what the song is all about and what's the fuzz of having titled it in French! Then there's wikipedia. The internet really works if you're hectic and there's such a very short notice.

I scavenged YouTube to look for inspiration and I got Britney's first hit "Baby One More Time" as the possible opening act for my MTV. But hey, Voulez Vous is a disco song with lots of dancing expected and I'm exhausted to scouting talents from the team who can deliver a dance sequence.

Anyway - I'm sleepy now, so I'll continue from where I left off sometime back.
