ADM Animation Industry Screening 2015 + Office Tour

I managed to get some time to drop by the ADM Industry Screening earlier this month together with some of my batch mates. It's already been a year since my batch graduated and here we've come full circle witnessing the graduation works of the next group of filmmakers. Definitely brought about lots of nostalgia for me, remembering the whole lead up to when my batch had to prepare for our screening. All the excitement and anxiety! Good days.

Email invite for the screening!

This time around, instead of being held in school, the screening was held at the Genexis Theatre at Fusionopolis. I had never been to that place before so this was a pretty good opportunity to record some videos! Also, one of my batchmates was actually working in that same building! Uber convenient! I, on the other hand, had to get through the 6pm crowd on the train in order to get there on time.

It was really great to see this batch trying out new things in their works and taking risks. Hope they continue to make and innnovate well into the future! 

After the screening was over, one of my batchmate who worked in that building offered to give a little tour of his workplace and office upstairs so that was a little extra treat at the end. My camera recording above doesn't do justice, but the view from the open roof on Fusionopolis was pretty awesome!

Also, nothing says "Office Tour" unless you have a Visitor Pass of some sort, so there you go!

Performance Documentation (Curio Cabinet of Self)

The following are photographs and videos I voluntarily took to document "Curio Cabinet of Self", which was a performance held at NTU ADM as part of a final year project by Diana Toh, a graduating student from the Interactive Media major.

The artist continued to hold the performance over the course of the whole week until the end of the ADM Grad Show (from 7th May - 17th May).  Seeing a performance piece as a final year project was something that was very rare (atleast from what I had known so far at ADM), and that just made it all the more compelling to be there to witness the performance go underway first-hand. Due to the nature of the performance, having perfomance props breaking in two or having paint splatter flying towards to unsuspecting audience while the artist struck the canvas with all kinds of objects was all part of the experience.

The artist invited onlookers to tag the canvases on the wall, and I obliged by spraying her name.

I was lucky enough to follow the artist outside after one of her performances with my camera and record her conversation with a pair of audience members ala a casual Q and A (hence the video above). More documentation and details of her performance can be accessed here.

Winding down

I haven't had much time to come back here to blog in quite a while. It's mainly been a busy period, what with finishing up final year projects and graduation and all. It's been an unforgettable experience, and now it's already time to move on to adapting to working life.

The one with going back to school

Within the deep recesses of the ADM basement...

Got a cubicle.
Found someone's slippers inside a drawer.
It smells funny.

Rush hour still bites.

Stop Filming...

I should have just stopped filming.

But hey, it's all good.

It's all good.

Quips and funnies deserve to be archived.
