A Detour

Eng Tiong has finished translating the dialogue in the script to Mandarin. (Oh, I didn't tell you? The story is mostly in Mandarin, unless otherwise stated.)

I can't write Chinese for a living. I wrote the script in English with Movie Magic Screenwriter. There's no Chinese input. So I have to output the script as a text file so that Eng Tiong can input the Chinese dialogue next to the English ones in Word. It does alter the screenplay format a little bit. The margins seem not quite right but other than that, we're happy with those 99 pages.

This past week sees us doing less of "Exposed!" but for a good reason.

We're busy working on developing new projects for the upcoming SuperPitch and Animation SuperPitch, and the Singapore Film Commission Project Development Scheme. All the submission dates are due either this week or next week.

We may get something out of it or we may get nothing. No problem. At least we try. We'll keep trying till we get it someday.

Also, in the pipeline is a short film. The working title is "Dollhouse." I'll probably set up a separate blog for it sometime in the future. So I won't reveal much here. The only thing I'll say is that this story has been languishing in my ideas book since April and we thought we'll do it now as some sort of a prep for making "Exposed!" We haven't done a drama for some time now and this short film is like a refresher course. It's also a good time to try out and explore the technical aspects. Afterall, we haven't put HDV cameras to the test yet.

I'm looking forward to doing it! If anyone out there is interested to join in as crew, just email us! We don't mind if you don't have any production experience whatsoever as long as you are willing to learn. We are all still learning. So attitude is the key!
