Decimal - Cover on I Want You Back by Jackson 5



What an honour! To be invited of being a part of their production in their first 'professionally' recorded session (compared to the previous live recording at various gigs), it was really great being in the midst of them performing such awesome music!

By far one of the best local bands ever I've seen, especially during live performance. Tight, immense and jaw-dropping.

Just in case you guys want to find out more about them, I've written a post previously, just click here to read up more!

To me, this production further encouraged me to see Malaysian talents showing off to the world what we have to offer. Certainly, I'll be looking forward for more!

P.S - Did you know that they're opening for the upcoming Jayesslee concert in Malaysia? BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW! :)

BTS: "The Dawn"



For SDP's first relationship based video - allow me to first express my gratitude to all the support and personal encouragement!

The making of this video sure didn't come easy. After much planning and working through the casts, many has commented that this video's cast did a good job. Kudos guys :)

I had a great time working with them too, especially working together with my usual film making buddies, Gary Liew as the co-director and Raffi Th'ng as the cinematographer. Gregory Sze and Jenn Chia was easy to work with and I was blown away by their acting skills! :o

Although this video did not have the strong viral factor compared to videos like "Ha? What's GG?", it was already anticipated due to the message this video is trying to convey.

Going through personally the heartbreaks itself, like someone close to me said - "No one wants to feel that they're going through a failing relationship." However, the real message that I was trying to convey was towards the deep cut that we always recklessly slice ourselves with.. that we just don't take life seriously enough to have a matured relationship.

Anyways, towards the technical side of the video, we only took one day to shoot all the scenes. Editing wise was a slow process but thankfully, it turned out well :) Struggled quite a bit with the background music but after gaining the green light from the man himself, David Story, it worked out pretty well!

A personal thank you to the others who volunteered in this - Cher Maine, Steven Tey, Johnson Khor (The guy in science!), Jin Yin, Craig and Colin.

Not forgetting of course, an awesome friend of mine who agreed to offer his cafe to shoot the cafe scene also known as EcoGreen Organic. Offering a great range of organic food and chilling ambiance, do drop by and have a look!
