It took a lot to bring my spirit down. I used to be more confident than this, I trusted myself more than anything else. Or was I? The word Introspective should have been better off unknown to me, as the understanding of the word itself implicates more of it within me. Behind the emotionally indifferent self I portray most of the time, I'm actually ridiculously frail. Maybe that fragility made me work hard on creating this much tougher persona that I'd like myself to be. People close to me had always left me alone when my shit is not together. I hated that, I thought I deserved some empathy, some guidance, some thing. Now I know that these are the people that believe that I'm better than that. That I'm stronger than I think, and that whatever I'm going through, I'll find the answers within myself. These are the people who truly respect me as a human being. I'm always careful when I give advice, most of the time I refuse to give any at all, unless I truly know that person. I always think that I'm a good character reader but I'm not. I'll try my best to refrain from assuming that I know people from now on. As social commentaries, especially when untrue can inflict a lot of damage to a person.<br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br /><p class='blogpress_location'>Location:<a href='http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Hampden%20Way,Barnet,United%20Kingdom%4051.627944%2C-0.143557&z=10'>Hampden Way,Barnet,United Kingdom</a></p>Anwari Ashrafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13983403993360159668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285573184442736691.post-22219181701772626072009-12-16T11:50:00.000-08:002009-12-16T12:07:00.675-08:00Video for 3FOUR50So I did this Video for a website called <a href="http://www.3four50.com/">3four50</a>, a "Think Health" website.

So I've played around with what I could and came to this new image of SASPUTRA films:<br /><br />Just as much as how bored I am with slow tracking shots, clean cut photography, 3D CGI stuff, colorful color scheme. This new production label complements it swell! The scruffy and unclean edges and the massive presence of noise reflects my soul as a young, revolting one. This version of black over white is the main one.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD24SXs63KTaZ6t94nsDmvlFik-FyK4eFiF7MLT-KPeqxOVXbJmxR4h1878KGWhPnBcMTVPYTIwZO2HEd1AJ3dRFXEoRKrJRGoLzaO99zqzsWr0WWG_kP0J82LBkaadGiXgYos_yat1lI/s1600-h/Slide1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 80px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD24SXs63KTaZ6t94nsDmvlFik-FyK4eFiF7MLT-KPeqxOVXbJmxR4h1878KGWhPnBcMTVPYTIwZO2HEd1AJ3dRFXEoRKrJRGoLzaO99zqzsWr0WWG_kP0J82LBkaadGiXgYos_yat1lI/s400/Slide1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367830329199344114" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The alternate inverted version is for use in cases where and when necessary: especially for opening sequences, which usually is cast over black.<br /><br />Kiamu!!! would be the first to be produced under this label.

He post it up for a while and retracted it from his blog to protect his relationships with people. I for one, find that it is a shame for this not to be up on the net, and I trust people around me would be open minded enough to accept another person's point of view*</span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">US products and US bounds</span></span><br /></div><br />I heard and read a lot of students urging to boycott US and Israeli products.<br /><br />And it amazed me that some US bound students urged the same thing too.<br /><br />Shouldn't the first thing they do is to drop the scholarship? It would be a hypocracy if they don't. The TAXPAYERS money is being used to finance the education in US universities. And where the money goes? What happen to to the boycott? Didn't you guys realized that by going to the US, you are making the government pay MILLIONS of ringgit to the country you are urging to boycott?<br /><br />Seriously, it doesn't make sense. If I am wrong, give justifications. So don't go or stop being a hypocrite.<br /><br />At least those people buying Big Mac are using their own money and it is about 100000times cheaper than an education there.<br /><br />Please don't criticize without any negations or justifications.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">* * * * * * * * * * * *<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">As for my personal view on this matter, I would say that I'm not against the idea of boycotting US products. I can really respect their cause, and see where they're coming from. But for a government sponsored student bound to the US to do such a thing - I have a great deal of 'APAKAH?' accepting that. I agree with Emir, that demonstrates a bit of hypocrisy.<br /><br />I mean, it is obvious that these people, despite their beliefs, refuses to "drop the scholarship" because of their fear of loosing something important.<br /><br />Ergo, my arguement is, if <span style="font-style: italic;">you yourself</span> can relate to the fear of losing something out of this - You would actually be the person that'll be <span style="font-weight: bold;">most</span> empathethic of the situation that <span style="font-style: italic;">you yourself </span>put the local McDonalds retailers into. Who by chance, could be a Malay Muslim as well.<br /><br />The same goes to the Intel factory workers in Kulim, who now, are fearing for their jobs, and the incapability to provide their underprivileged family.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">*I rarely...wait, NEVER post up anything political here, but this one caught my interest*</span><br /></div></div>Anwari Ashrafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13983403993360159668noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285573184442736691.post-73009423087575721432009-04-05T17:02:00.000-07:002009-04-13T22:10:28.786-07:00Too Much Time In Hands Tonight.Classes has ended. True, it has. No more class till the beginning of the new term this autumn, where I'll return as a final year student (<span style="font-style: italic;">"Already?"</span> I know!). But that doesn't mean its all play and relax for me, as I have a horrendously massive amount of work to hand in on the 23rd of April and the 5th of May. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Then </span>it'll be independence from the 2nd year BA Film Video and Interactive Arts learning frame. I guess in a way, I have slightly less to worry about compared to my other classmates, as I'm pretty much finished with my year end film - Fragility. The public premiere of Fragility went well, I'm pretty convinced that a lot of people liked it (self re-assuring moment).<br /><br />Sesi berbahasa Melayu bermula:<br /><br />Aku tau aku akan bunyi seakan-akan riak, angkuh, dan bodoh-sombong. Tapi, kalau anda-anda berada di tempat kejadian, anda akan setuju, dan faham bila aku kata:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">"<span style="font-style: italic;">Fragility ditayang bersama-sama filem-filem sampah!</span>"<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Jangan salah faham, aku tak perasan bagus, aku tau kelemahan-kelemahan filem aku. Dan ada beberapa filem rakan sekelas aku yang aku benar-benar tabik! Namun tidak terlampau jika aku kata 80% dari filem yang ditayang malam itu benar-benar memalukan aku sebagai rakan sekelas. Filem yang siapa-siapa dengan camera boleh buat. KATA belajar buat film?</span> Aku malu, sebagai tukang compile filem-filem itu kedalam DVD aku malu. Fragility diatur untuk ditayang nombor 10 dari 20 filem. Maka, dalam 'perjalanan' ke filem aku itu, aku perasan, seorang demi seorang ahli audience blah sebab SAKIT mata. SAKIT mata melihat keJAHILan budak-budak yang ambil degree filem buat filem. Aku duduk dibelakang seorang ilmuan filem masa screening itu, Patrick Philips. Dari riak wajahnya, aku tau dia sedang sakit hati, merasa dirinya seolah-olah sedang membuang masa. Yang aku paling marah, dia BLAH sebaik-baik filem aku bermula. Bila aku berharap dapat mendengar feedback beliau tentang filem aku.<br /><br />Namun tidak semua sampah, dibawah merupakan filem-filem yang aku boleh respect:<br /><br />Indistinct - James Clear Tournas<br /><br />The Horror of Hang Wood - David Paul Irons<br /><br />Together Forever - Mikel C.G.<br /><br />Dracula - David O'gara<br /><br /><br /></div></div>Anwari Ashrafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13983403993360159668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285573184442736691.post-5891842256636456002009-04-03T13:12:00.000-07:002009-04-03T13:14:45.717-07:00Fragility - Web Premiere<object height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9JYpvI8dpSc&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9JYpvI8dpSc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="295" width="480"></embed></object><br /><br />So last night was the Big Screening of Fragility.

Personally likes the consistent usage of focus shift of the piece, and the constant cutting between the conversation itself and the conversation off screen with shots of the girl. Good use of music and sound. Notices the change of light on Liang's face, referring it as a continuity error. Not really a fan of the tv static usage, being the depiction (personally) of the dream sequence a point of view of Lydia's character - using tv static, a very technological and electronic thing to represent something biological like memories.

I just finished editing it. Not done 100% yet though, I'll call it a rough cut if anything. Personally, what I'm trying with Fragility is something I've never done before, and it is unlikely to be my '<span style="font-style: italic;">kind</span>' of film. I thought that it'll be challenging and fun. Plus, when else should I experiment if not while I study right? Well I think I did ok (I guess) considering how unfamiliar I am to this type of film-making.<br /><br />Sound was a bitch to edit in this. Not only in the dream sequence, but the conversation/ normal-action ones too! All because of that annoying thing that goes off occasionally in the location we were shooting, I have quite a hefty amount of footage with my voice cussing to it. This thing I'm talking about is a malfunctioning security alarm that beeps every 3 to 5 minutes. And I tell you, <span style="font-style: italic;">loads</span> of it managed to get into my footage. Some I managed to wipe out with post production, some I wasn't so able to.<br /><br />The dream sequence requires me a lot of imagination to edit its sound. I don't know if I can be proud of it or not. But heck, I am kinda proud of it anyway.<br /><br />So yeah, class premiere coming!!!<br />*Freaks Out and Faints*Anwari Ashrafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13983403993360159668noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285573184442736691.post-83906912643019863072009-03-14T16:30:00.000-07:002009-03-14T16:33:47.980-07:00Fragility Premieres 23rd MarchAs the title suggest, 23rd for the class premiere and 30th for public premiere.

I thought that I might as well do now. So right now I am at a point of being hyped about my upcoming shoot. A short film for my graded final yeas assessment; <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Fragility. </span>I don't know if some people might find the title cheesy or something, but I personally feel it's one of the best titles I've ever came up with. I always like the idea of having a short, dynamic, one-word title for my works. For me it's either one-word short or <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">really </span></span>long like exampled with: <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Curious Case of Benjamin Button</span></span>. No, I haven't watched that yet if you have to ask. So down here is the rough edit of the first page of <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fragility</span></span>:<br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:courier new;">Fragility<br /><br />by Anwari Ashraf<span style="font-family:arial;"></span></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></span></div><span style="font-family:courier new;"><br />FADE IN:<br /><br />INT.HOUSE.LIVING HALL.DAY<br /><br />BILLY and JIMMY are carrying and arranging a few boxes. They both stop about the same time. They stand there silent, awkward.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:courier new;">BILLY </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Coffee?<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;">JIMMY </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Yeah, Sure.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></div><span style="font-family:courier new;">Billy walks into the kitchen.<br /><br />INT.HOUSE.ROOM.DAY<br /><br />LYDIA still lies on the bed. Still motionless, almost lifeless.<br /><br />INT.HOUSE.LIVING HALL.DAY<br /><br />Billy and Jimmy sits at the opposite sides of the table, with cups of coffee in front of both. There is a moment of silence for a while.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:courier new;">BILLY </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Hey, listen. Thanks for coming down </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">to the hospital and back here for </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">all this. I really appreciate it. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">JIMMY </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">No, please. It’s nothing. </span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family:courier new;">They pause again. </span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">JIMMY </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">So how long has it been?<br /><br />BILLY<br />Sorry?<br /><br />JIMMY<br />Lydia, Coma.<br /><br />BILLY<br />Oh she’s no longer in her coma.<br />She’s awake. They call it PVS,<br />Persistent Vegetative State. It’s a<br />post- coma thing. She has awaken<br />from her coma, but there’s just<br />still no sign of awareness.<br /><br />JIMMY<br />I see<br /><br />BILLY<br />The Doctor said that it’s 50 - 50.<br />In some cases, people with her<br />condition would just wake up<br />spontaneously one day. Others<br />just...But not her, I know she’ll<br />wake up one day.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></div><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-family:arial;">So yeah, that's about it. Do tell me if anyone is interested to have a read of the whole script. Give me your email and I'll happily attach it; with hopes of criticism. Because I for one, find criticism to be a rather good thing to listen to. Although it does hurt at times, and I might bitch around about it for a while. But it makes me stop and think what I'm doing wrong.<br /><br />I'm not trying to prolong this post by writing this, but recent events just made me feel like saying a few things about criticism.<br /><br />I mean I know it can get harsh and rather dents you in the heart. But take it easily, don't bitch back. It's not their fault, they're just honest, some might just launch the harpoon because they feel intimidated. Or to reassure a non-secured self-know-it-all. But when these kind of things happens its no reason to back out and give in. Feeling down doesn't help you at all. Bitching it through Facebook status or notes can be annoying to other people. Take it in, swallow it up, digest it, and get rid tomorrow through your '<span style="font-style: italic;">Morning Glory'</span><br /><br />I know that I'm in a art-driven industry. And that subjectivity of opinions is rather common, but if someone doesn't like what I try to deliver, I really want to know why. Because it might be a thing that I might have looked over before. If its not, its always refreshing to know that I didn't succeed to please everyone. I rather go through that than get self-indulged with my known success and obliviously uninterested on my unknown failures.<br /><br />So yeah, I'll stop here.<br /></span></span>Anwari Ashrafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13983403993360159668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285573184442736691.post-8553016431407283032009-01-29T16:44:00.000-08:002009-01-29T17:28:45.742-08:00A Compulsive Psycho-Analyst<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: left;">Well I havent been updating coz ive been doing all sorts of things lately, it HAS been a rather hectic time for me.<br /><br />This post has nothing to do with any of my previous works, or anything as equally substantial to that. Its about something I've been meaning to channel since weeks now;<br /><br />Have you ever had the feeling that you know too much? Some that you actually don't even want to know and wished you didn't. Have you ever had that like 50 times in a row?<br /></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Well I do.</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I get to know all these things I'm not supposed to through various means and mediums, mostly from the compulsive psycho-analysis that's becoming like a fetish that I somehow developed from my studies in film.<br /><br />You see, general opinion would think that learning film is all about the technical stuff, (lights, camera, editing, directing, pre-production, production, post-production yadayadayada) and I believe most institution even really practise that kind of film learning.<br /><br />But where I end up to study is all about the appreatiation of film arts, in which might be not too wrong to say as - About the existence of people, about the sensual, sensitive nature of being a human being. and this, if you ask me, requires a lot of psycho-analysis.<br /><br />So as i go on with this new compulsion of mine, I find that I'm understanding more about people, and its annoying how perfectly close I am to precise. How do I know this?<br /><br />Facial articulation, tone of voice, involuntary body languange and at a certain extent, I just <span style="font-weight: bold;">know,<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span></span>I have no specific solid proof whatsoever but I just do.<br /><br />And later, God has HIS own way to somehow prove me right (as I rarely disclose what I find), and I curse myself for this! And its never easy to disclose what I figured out - so it's agonizing!<br /><br />So yeah, stay away from me, because I might read you like a book.</div></div>Anwari Ashrafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13983403993360159668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285573184442736691.post-74909918815312126022008-12-30T09:20:00.000-08:002008-12-30T11:12:46.610-08:00Junctions DVD-ing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdTI6gMifjE724SFraU9HwhQMo1aJUK-j5ygc2hlKEQH-ezxPAZtIfg2rt3_4RRczq9zY99z6PAzZXQRX5kjC_pkGS7okMLWI_yNeZEASIqXXSOv4LEL__lG3_ivblhZ4s6svvrgpBmIk/s1600-h/directed.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdTI6gMifjE724SFraU9HwhQMo1aJUK-j5ygc2hlKEQH-ezxPAZtIfg2rt3_4RRczq9zY99z6PAzZXQRX5kjC_pkGS7okMLWI_yNeZEASIqXXSOv4LEL__lG3_ivblhZ4s6svvrgpBmIk/s400/directed.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285641685209454994" border="0" /></a>So i finished editing the interactive project i was working on.

So this here is the background for the main menu:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE9Z6Ilp3XSRs-anKkYdn-wmEtQXlJcnjyrl-8Yp-aRK85lABSNJ3ZuJadlQTLW9uhMx5u6tQv60JEfPCYZ_Yrec2WjcBBUNZiAB4f8xYPQREWHRJ1pUS_W8ooYpzXavFI0EDfHVTCaak/s1600-h/Slide1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE9Z6Ilp3XSRs-anKkYdn-wmEtQXlJcnjyrl-8Yp-aRK85lABSNJ3ZuJadlQTLW9uhMx5u6tQv60JEfPCYZ_Yrec2WjcBBUNZiAB4f8xYPQREWHRJ1pUS_W8ooYpzXavFI0EDfHVTCaak/s400/Slide1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285637266355091474" border="0" /></a>The two boxes indicated with arrows are to be filled with text from the menu buttons, you know, like one you find in a DVD. The production design of this DVD is inspired fully from no one other than Fatin herself. Her habit of scribbling everything that passes her mind inspires me to create <span style="font-style: italic;">'The Notebook" </span>theme.<br /><br />Interactive DVD-ing Junctions<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF3svEpyEFwSpLDev4NJLFQwNC3GTrRwlfxldW2w1_zb8ZA2sMphpl18wdCtVerSPLLLq6zz2BdB_MMEeqG9isSqYiiSe6tNqUw9pyoqTpZpZc9cpjy_4Ry4pw74hyKWbE9KQeACl6Eh8/s1600-h/Picture+2.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF3svEpyEFwSpLDev4NJLFQwNC3GTrRwlfxldW2w1_zb8ZA2sMphpl18wdCtVerSPLLLq6zz2BdB_MMEeqG9isSqYiiSe6tNqUw9pyoqTpZpZc9cpjy_4Ry4pw74hyKWbE9KQeACl6Eh8/s400/Picture+2.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285643417220838066" border="0" /></a><br />The thing about this project is that i would LOVE to disown all of the narrative content, but still take credit for all the other production values (except the narrative.just re-emphasizing).<br /><br />Talking about credits; Junctions also have the longest credit i have ever included in a video. And a montage I'm pretty proud of. I would love to include the montage in here but since it would ruin the element of surprise for some people, I wont.<br /><br />The other day i was watching one of Kak Siti's video and then I realized that she crams all her thanks in all of her videos. So being a good fellow Astro scholar, i decided that I should do the same from now on, as it feels incredebly good to do so!<br /><br />So here is the GOOD end credits (being interactive, they are two end credits)<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nSLqXBRh3y0&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nSLqXBRh3y0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />So yeah, the only part that i like about "Junctions" is it's production value; Montage, Menus, Styles, Credits. I HATE the story!<br /><br />I'll post more up (montage, clips, pics etc.) after I submit it to the lecturer, so until then, itu saja yea murid2? =)Anwari Ashrafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13983403993360159668noreply@blogger.com0
