The sterling says "Afi deen" though, hehe.<br><br>Before watching the third clip, I thought the characters died when the scene black out and that really is like "huh? that's it?". So the final clip showing how they die (in details) is really the boomer. you rock, writing a script like this. The Puteri one freaks me out. I almost forgot Kabir who appeared first at the start of the film, and he is the final victim who is the most positive death accepter as compare to the others. this part surprised me, which really makes your film "worth watching".<br><br>And oh yeah I also like the way you contrast Shahril's red shirt against grey tree branches background before he went to kill the girl.

It started out a little stiff in the acting, but gradually the film managed to gain momentum. I particularly liked the frames, shots and angles you used, especially the ones in the bus/car - it gives this, I don't know, contemplative feel? Or maybe that's just me.<br><br>Sempat promote blog in the CC scene, eh Afiq? Hehe. <br><br>The acting from your 4 main actors/actresses = thumbs up. Especially the girls (not because I'm biased, but because I know them and seeing them act was something else.)<br><br>Lets see, what else? Interweaving the plots was creative.<br><br>And lastly, brilliant ending! You managed to drive your message home with that one last line. I think that was my fav part, definitely.<br><br>Bravo Afiq! As andrea C said, you've done something many directors are still trying to do, all on your own initiative.<br><br>Keep it up, and keep at it!lubnaaahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14734119360422941619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831633416461332973.post-58640137856107808922009-01-30T05:20:00.000-08:002009-01-30T05:20:00.000-08:00afiq..da tgok dah.comment sme mcm lubna jgk.intro ...afiq..<br>da tgok dah.<br>comment sme mcm lubna jgk.<br>intro die bestlah yg mse dlm bas tu, pastu promot blog kat cc and stereng yg brnme afi deen. hahah, mmg klaka n best.<br>part tyme puteri mati tu pn best,<br>sbb kte mcm tetibe, "eh knape2??" effect krete nk lnggr puteri tu gempak. and also effects mase transtition clip lain to clip lain pn best gak.<br>errm..<br>tp knape "peringkat"??<br>xnmpk pun pringkat..<br>sorila klo trlepas pndg.<br>and yg last skali mamat tu pegi bunuh diri knape? xpahamlah yg tu..<br>hmm..<br>overall, plot die mmg best gilaaa lah! well done!! tp kalo cte die lg clear, memang mantap...miranabila azlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14731550067296144964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831633416461332973.post-31462957928885723362009-01-30T10:10:00.000-08:002009-01-30T10:10:00.000-08:00citer drama melayu letak director last2.hahaciter drama melayu letak director last2.hahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831633416461332973.post-29353425795759841832009-01-31T01:46:00.000-08:002009-01-31T01:46:00.000-08:00Job Well Done...brilliant story line..u can make F...Job Well Done...brilliant story line..u can make Freud redefine death...love the interpretation of the 4 stages..fresh perspective from fresh mind...About the craft..great idea but I wish you stay with your own executional style..have seen it in your other videos..dont let our TV drama influence u..overall great job and kudos to the actors.. i would put it on air, too bad dah takde TV station..sirraboyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831633416461332973.post-55393244719555032782009-01-31T10:04:00.000-08:002009-01-31T10:04:00.000-08:00ok...i agree with someone up there saying its so s...ok...i agree with someone up there saying its so similar with nicklebacks video...but i would honestly say i love the whole movie.it gave me the creepes.i was literally holding on to my seat. the dialog was a bit shaky but well composed.your sound system is remarkable, noting for someone new in the business. In real movies and dramas also not that good. <br><br>I love your friend Putri. I think shes hawt and damn cun at acting. She should really look seriously into acting. And i love the whole tergedik scene about the handphone and snapping picture. Thats so funny. Its so fresh. Your first actor is like a walking stick, and the dialog was so religious it made the whole scene so fake.And promoting bank islam?haha.You think they even knew about this movie?..haha..(i do wish they do, so they can see new talents brewing). I like that small boy or whoever, who commited death himself. I like the way he was so brave in walking towards the balcony and standing on that end of the wall. So hindi movie!<br><br>Dear Afiq,<br><br>The movie is good. Given a good budget, you could have made Malaysia's most scariest movie. But to think of winning something, you would(I dearly hope). But I really think that the judges would have in mind a movie that tells something interior and exterior. You know a touchy story. Not a morale story. But something thats not so pirated. Like yours, story line isnt of course, but the whole death and timing on the head is so obvious from Nickleback(although you probably would swear you didnt know Nickleback even ever existed). It would show your story isnt so much as something thats well thought. Its just well rehersed. I just love your actors and actress(except for the fist two guys), your editing, your sound system. Do create more movies. I would love to watch 'em. And I think so does everyone else.<br><br>GOOD LUCK!<br><br>I do hope you win all the OSCARS!!!Diranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14929028371420755977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831633416461332973.post-53966452958528173962009-02-01T01:06:00.000-08:002009-02-01T01:06:00.000-08:00afiq. i feel so malu want to comment here. since u...afiq. i feel so malu want to comment here. since u have fans and all. but i will because i'm so proud of u. i'm so sisterly kannn. aaannywaayyy.<br>1.i think you shouldnt have asked ppl to "excuse the quality of the film...only DV handycam". sbb i dont know, it's more real with the handycam. it's art u know? ppl would think it was intentional having all those sounds and grains (wtv that is.heeee). maybe it could be your style or something.it sounds like your sorry jgk. sorry guna dv handycam je. dont be sorry. be "nah! here take it. i made this and i'm damn proud of it".<br>2.i love the girl yg tangkap gambar lepas semayang tu. takleh blah.<br>3.i like puteri. and her story. haha its funnyyyy. with the youtube and all.<br>4.love the music. it fits. very good lah u.<br>5.i dont really like the narrator at the beginning of part 3. mcm manja je. i mean i bet she's a nice girl and a nice friend, i dont mind voices in general manja ke, sengau ke apa ke tapi for narration tu mcm tak kena je. but i dont know maybe its just me.<br>6. i like eddie. and the trees. how he thinks. you made "eddie" real.<br>7.i didnt watch the first half properlyyy. i will watch it again. u can hate me til then. haha.<br>well written i think. kalau tak i wouldnt be here commenting. it was visually beautiful jgk. moments where everything was symmetrical. i'm a sucker for anything symmetrical. hahahaha.<br>anywayyyyy do more amazing things. i'll try to keep up. sorry panjang sgt. wish i was in uia so i can tell u personally. k thanks afiq bye!soraya lah.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831633416461332973.post-55992146873031076002009-02-01T03:05:00.000-08:002009-02-01T03:05:00.000-08:00Erm pendapat-tak-berapa-bernas aku, dari segi cara...Erm pendapat-tak-berapa-bernas aku, dari segi cara shooting, sedikit sebanyak macam kebanyakan cerita Melayu.

Bagi aku, itu semua bukan tak perlu, tapi lebih bernas kalau difokuskan kepada situasi. Bukan sekadar gambar je nak kena lawa.

I really appreciate it. I'm still looking (or creating) for my own style so I tend to experiment with different method of filmmaking. That's why the four scenes are vastly different from one another. (I will google 'Freud' ASAP!)<br><br>Diran, I thought I mentioned this already. I got the death timebomb idea from Death Note's anime and manga. In nickelback, the noticeable time of death runs by the milisecond whereas in deathnote, it ticks by the second. <br><br>But thanks for you exaggerated praises though. Hahah. I know what you mean when you wrote that the film shoud be easily understood. I found that many people dont understand the short film if they watch it only once. I expected other ppl to grasp the plot and storyline in one go only to realize that we all have different wavelength and our perception of visual motion and comprehension of new concepts differs. I learnt a lot when I made this short film and will probably make better, understandable film in the near future.<br><br>Wah soraya dari australia~<br><br>Aha, you dont like Jannah's performance. On the contrary, Jannah in person and in the short film, is a real sweet person. I thought it would be interesting to make her angry even though she might be the last person on earth to get angry. And if you have noticed, she wasnt THAT angry, her anger was simply passed on to another person by a simple accident.<br><br>Haah matematis muda, part 1 mmg byk giler perspective yang 'lawa'. Yang lain tak sangat la kot.<br><br>Haah ritz, that's the camera I won.<br><br>I read your comments on how to improve. I agreed with most of them and reserved some that doesn't make sense to me. I know I should write a simpler story but it this day and age, one should start off brimming from the cup's edge (if yo catch my drift) <br><br>I had shots to clarify the story but I preferred that people speculate or scratch their heads. That way, they would want to watch it again and by the time they do, they will have a new take on the whole story. It's like a 2 in 1. Enjoy the nice view, blah blah blah.. aik I dont understand.. watch it again.. oh now i geddit..<br><br>I like the 'oh now I geddit' part when people watch it. Usually that part are made stale by some directors but I want it to be a discovery for viewers. And again, this is not a commercial, it's a short film. People dont have to geddit the first time around. It's like making ppl watch movies in the cinema.. they understand the movie as a whole but the details they couldnt grasp...., well, they will just have to watch the movie again or wait for the DVD.

On your next work you should put time into little things like the sound of footsteps.It makes the scene feel full somehow.I know you know this but just for the sake of saying; you could always rerecord the dialog later if a mic isn't available during shoot.<br><br>eh.. puteri's part was anger?oh..<br><br><br>Act 3<br>2:16 - continuity of the jump.make sure when an object or person jumps/falls to the right it doesn't land to the left of the screen.<br><br>Maybe it would have been cooler if you wrapped a tudung around a watermelon since her face wasn't really shown and get him to smash it with the rock ;)<br><br>It wasn't that hard to understand and you've captured my attention.<br>It could've been better but it's something you should be proud of.<br>The story was kind of hard to relate to because of the characters.My favourite character would be mr.pokok.His story made sense and his acting was convincing.Thanks for adding the subtitles by the way.I'm sure you've learnt alot on this one. You had good coverage.A bit more wouldn't hurt.I've yet to shoot mine so i'll be comin to you next time for some tips hehe. The girls' part was kinda sappy. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for sappiness.<br><br>Might I suggest you buy a wide angle lens for your handycam if you're gonna stick to it for some time.Sorry but thats all i can give you right now<br>*high five*!<br><br>what was the best and worst part of the production?<br><br><br>I <3 Kung Pow,<br>Adam K.adam k.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04217788323688487095noreply@blogger.com
