Hmmm...Hijrah

Hmmm...Hijrah is a stop motion video that explains the basic concept of Hijrah in Islam. I realized that teenagers and young adults do not like preachy and guilt-inducing advertisment about Islam so I made sure that this one is fast paced, energetic and fun.

Why Hmmm...Hijrah? Because I want it the subject to be contemplative in nature so it could be applied by anyone to their own capacity.

I'm a horrible actor. The moment I see the camera's red LED blinking, my whole body will freeze. So I made captions of my 'frozen' body and somehow made myself move. Watch the video to see what I mean.

Notice my stoned expression? That's my po po po poker face po po poker face (momomomo)

i like this concept, you kiss. (kept is short and simple). Unlike your nokia video which i thought was a bit meleret and repetitive. this one is actually very good.

aku sangat jeles dowh.

mlle said...

I dunno why but to tell the truth i'm relieved that it's not ur voice (no offense to the voice contributor^^) coz it doesn't "match" ur image, wakakaka^^
rasenyer original assigned voice is more "telly" with the video ke?
this voice is ok wat, cukup macho, so no need to feel hampeh^^

in the nokia vid, I had to use the song given by the organizer which was almost 5 minutes. Apa boleh buat..

this Ad had to be less than a minute so i have to keep it short and simple and what what better way to do that than a series of one-liner.

Helmi Razali said...

oh, no wonder. Sebab the nokia tu, i really like the concept, tapi like i said, agak panjang. But seems like there's nothing that you could do about it. oh well.
