Doggieshaman's Reels

Here's a little collection of the stuff I've done as a student. I am also a freelance professional editor (one step up from Junior Editor during my internship) who have edited a large number of corporate videos for mostly elated clients, but I can't upload that and claim it to be mine, so when I can I will merely link the page.

"Littering = Trouble"

A little video we made for the Nparks Just Bin It competition, won the to prize. I shot and edited this on a Canon EOS7D and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. I am quite proud of this because we did this on a very tight shoestring and it was completed without any of the 4 of us in the same place during the editing stage

"Truth"

Our entry for the 2010 edition of the 48 Hour Film Competition Singapore. We got Best Editing. I shot and co-edited this on a Sony EX1 camera and on Final Cut Pro. Not terribly good story and shot wise but it was 48 Hours and we survived the realization that there was a minimum time limit, so it is also an achievement.

"The Perfect Take"

I didn't shoot nor edit this, only doing the sound post-production and lighting on set, as well as appearing in it as the grip. I did come up with the idea though. This was for the eSMA Creative Video Awards, we won Best Story and a little bit of money with it.

"Hunger Bytes: Caught Up"

This was for an online World Food Programme competition. It was basically one long take on a steadycam (which wasn't too steady). I shot, edited and played the little soundtrack there. Sadly it was a competition based on most views and thus it languished in the very low ranks, much to my dismay. Nonetheless I still personally like the idea very much.

"PAWN"

This was a COM427 Assignment for Soviet Montage. We got an A- for this, but looking back I could see that it was really really abstract to outsiders. Probably that could work but conceptually I still realize that while its intent was to disorientate, Eisenstein's films were not in anywhere near the same level of disarray as this 2 minute clip. My belief is that we tried to squeeze a large level of intellectually-driven montage inside 2 minutes which is what makes it entirely so-confusing.

"Cantante di Strada"

Another COM427 Assignment for Italian Neorealism, graded as B+ because it didn't 'accurately portray reality'. Which was fair. Since there wasn't much real poverty nor hardship within Singapore itself.
