Christmas that never was - Director's Comment

Bloopers!


After much hassle of trying to process the video out and upload it to youtube (apparently due to some uploader upgrade at youtube, a lot of other users suffered uploading problems as well!) it's finally up!

The idea of this video is to allow others to view a different perspective towards Christmas - Who says we're the only ones having a huge commotion about it? Evil agents too have a lot to up their sleeves and if we as mortals do not pay close attention to the value of Christmas, can you imagine how much we're missing out?

One of the junior pops the questions midway through the discussion - "What if Christmas never happened?" There then unfolds the different opinions from the other evil agents but Senior Agent TwisterThorn lashes them with the deepest reality of what impact Christmas has made to everyone!

The whole video took quite some time to edit but was split over a span of a few days. Once more, huge credits to my own dad for allowing me to use his factory to shoot the scene and of course to my dear youths who contributed by acting in their roles -


Aaron Lim as Senior Agent TwistedThorn
Ryan Tan as Junior Agent MoldyFroddie
Allyna Goh as Junior Agent HyperCollider
Kathleen Tay as Junior Agent BrainDrain
Jeremy Chan as Human Subject

Thumbs up to their acting although some of them may be a little raw but hey, there's potential! Aaron also chipped some ideas such as the arguing part among the junior agents and suggested to try different angles or shots to some of the scenes he's involved in. Sure is a great time to work with these people and am looking forward for more!

Christmas that never was - Trailer

A production that I'm helping my Youth with - Christmas that never was. A video that speaks of 4 evil agents plotting evil on Christmas day and one of the junior agents popped the question, "What if Christmas never happened?"

This 1 minute an 33 seconds video took me almost 9 hours to edit it! Phewie, now it's time to edit the full video itself. Shooting took us 8 hours or so in 2 separate locations.

Credits to Ryan Tan, Allyna Goh, Kathleen Tay, Aaron Lim, Jeremy Chan and Kathleen's dad for the great support in this production! :)

So be sure to stay tuned for the full video and for those who didn't know, this video was made in conjunction of a Christmas dinner at my Youth on the 25th December 2010. Be sure to contact them at:
