My First Taste At Acting!

Hey Guys!

So, I just returned home after quite an eventful morning and mid-afternoon. Well, now that I think about it, it wasn't that eventful, but rather interesting and fun!

I am still keeping the precise details behind what happened today very hush, hush. It's a secret project that once completed will be released onto the Internet world, and allowed to walk on its own legs!

So, what am I talking about anyway? Haven't you been reading! I can't say, ha! Anyway, it was a small film project that involved a small group of us from NYHG. And, I got to do a bit of acting for it. I didn't have any lines, but my facial reactions were one of the many useful and required pieces to this project.

Below are several pictures I took throughout the course of our afternoon.

Sorry this one came out a little dark. I was taking pics with my Iphone.

So, we all met in Chinatown, and discussed the final breakdown of the scenes during breakfast at a coffee shop nearby. We all had a laugh at how ingenious this thing was! To be honest, this little project was the collaborative brain child of myself and my Sifu.

We talked about it on a few occasions, and thought how cool and funny it would be to actually make this! Finally, he went ahead and said let's do it. Yeah, enough talking about it, let's just film it already! Once Kelly and Jane, our film and media artists, came on board, it was a go. My Sifu had already spoken to a good friend of his who owns a shop in Chinatown, so a location was already set.

And we're rolling, or was this a test shot? I can't remember!

I don't appear in any of these pictures, but I will in the final product! We only shot outside the store and inside, and it took about a couple of hours before we were done. It went by really fast. Even my portions were quick and only needed to be shot a couple of times. Again, facial reactions can be a little tricky, ha! But, I made the most of it. I have to say, it was fun, but I'll be too embarrassed to look at the finished product once it's done!

I think now we're filming!

Smiles all around at a great job so far!

More preparations before go!

Like I said before, it was a fun afternoon to be with friends, do a little filming, a little acting and have some laughs! I want to thank Kelly, Rose and Jane for being the professionals that they are in their craft. You guys and gals rock! Thanks to Ben for coming out and playing a part in this project; you're our boom guy, Ben! To Sifu Yui for putting this on wheels and saying let's have fun with it!

And, a special thanks to Victor for allowing us to use his store, and for being a part of it!

Well, folks, there are still a few things that need to be done before this can hit post-production, but rest assured that when it comes out, I'll let you know. We'll unleash this onto the Internet world, and let start walking on its own. So look forward to it; although, I'll probably be hiding under my bed covers, ha!

Until next time!
