Was on my way back home, when I bumped into two familiar faces, but unfamiliar hair-do…Yeah bumped into the Rama and Shafi from local Hip-Hop group, Triple Noize…I was contemplating if I should smile at them, Took the risk and flashed my smile at Rama and was crossing my fingers on getting a smile back, which eventually he had been doing before I did mine…and I popped a silly question: Remember me?Duh…How could they forget the Krazy Hijab Director for their music video for “Third Eye”!Rama nod his head and asked me what am I doing now? I told him that I was in NIE and then he flashed a sheepish smile asking why not media? Hmmm…relating to the question I should thread my path towards the topic for today’s post.
So much of Inspiration I had before I took a major decision in pursuing my diploma in Film, Sound and Video. Took the aptitude test at Ngee Ann Poly as part of the admission procedure…had loads of doubts if I could get through to the next stage of interview, then received the call for the interview…the feeling was overwhelming. Charles Maideen and Cristina Mok were the interviewers…answered a bunch of media related Qs and awaited for admission into the course I wanted to enter with enthusiasm. Got in with a great surprise along with it, as my best friend Shahrin also got in the same course, Life can never be greater…took up the position of Director for my 2nd year studio production, music video production and that’s where I gotta know a group of creative Talented dudes Triple Noize(Really nice guys with a very cool attitude)wonder what they thought when they found out that the one directing would be a hijabiJhad to go through the song over and over again to visualize the scene that would be suitable for the depth of the lyrics…Initially I had an idea but They proclaimed that its was too “Puff Daddy” like…well perhaps I didn’t pitch my proposal well, cause my idea was not to don them with huge “Gold chain” but then again…this post would be extra long, if I am gona tell you about it…but nevertheless had a great time shooting the music video with these guys, as they were one of my best talents …I was not under any pressure even though I was working with professionals, cos they made the shoot like a fun process… went with the flow…working with my team members, Jun…Wayne…shahrin…Arfa…Yasmeen was equally great…had great fun during the shoot, …I truly had the satisfaction of mission accomplished…till today Ive got many inspiration towards art, in any form…its always ever changing as in to, what I wana do in Life…but all I wana gain is satisfaction in whatever I do… I JUST COULD GO ON AND ON…suddenly I feel so drawn back into memory lane…it’s always a nice feeling. Good to know that you have “DONE THAT, BEEN THERE BEFORE”. All the crazy times I had during Poly would always be the best of memories in my Life…for I think being a Film student, only some are privileged in taking that path and I’m so glad in experiencing it all. Going out to all FSvian graduation batch 2003…*you guys were a talented bunch*
