Slice of life

Slice of life anime, manga or even movies gets to me... Really. Sometimes I wonder is my life so eventful? Why do all these shit ( in the manga/movies/stories) happens to me too...

In some, I felt like it will happen to be soon.

I created a club like Genshiken. My past few years sound like I copied the script of 500 days of summer. Solanin reminds me of the shit that is going to happen to me... Hourou musuko reminds me of something in the past that I forgot...

Well no wonder they are categorize them as slice of life. Coz it looks like some are a slice of mine... And yours and the author...

what is after this?

With production deadline looming over our heads, it is also the end of my poly life. 4 years in NP, where do I go after this? Well Yes I still got to serve my country for the next 2 years, but where do I go after it? Go straight into industry? Or go to uni? What uni? What course? What country? Where got the money?

If I am going straight into the industry, I really need to build my portfolio in NS. Wait that applies to going to uni too. For industry I should try my luck for the Jedi program at ILM or try my luck at double neg and hope they send me to uk for a year. but what if both i fail to get in? Work for a local production house? Be a freelance ?

If I am going to uni, it is another headache all together. Other than NTU, the other places dun really have the degree I am looking for locally. Wait even NTU's ADM dun have the course... If I manage to get into NTU, I guess I will be applying for photography instead of filming or visual effects.

If i am able to get the money or some form of scholarship ( at least $100k ++) I will try for UK uni. 2 years at NFTS or met film school. Or next is HK or aus uni. Canada and USA are not in my mind at the moment. But maybe I should since the usd is getting way too low comparing to the yen and aus dollar...

Whatever path I am heading to. I will be behind a computer cursing at Maya. Crashing nuke, photoshopping something or worse producing a film that I dun want to do....

The things we do for photoshoots.

Well for this case it is lenne [ the photographer] and Venetia [the stylist]  , Christian [hairstylist] and our model, Diyanah. I was just the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">saikang warrior</span> photographer assistant. all four of them only had an hour of sleep before the shoot.

We had an awesome shoot. Went to 4 locations for 5 outfit change and 2 makeup change. i guess all of us will KO when we get home. BTS of the first shoot last month and this one will come soon once i have the energy to edit them.

I HASH domain. (( tag: update, ))

YESH, i gotten a domain -> http://togusachan.net

only issue now is that i have not paid my server host or <s>sign the contact</s> ,thus, togusachan.net will be redirected here for the time being. Time for me to go and do some coding and make some portfolio works.

more likely the site will be in 3 parts.

1. the blog [will still use posterous for normal blogging] [blog.togusachan.net]
2. the photo blog/ moodlessdays. [ i should be either using wordpress or pixelpost [togusachan.net]
3. The portfolio [ should be mix of pixel post and autoviewer. ] [portfolio.togusachan.net]

with this it seems i need to make new namecards, change all my copyright scripts, work emails and time to shut down some old sites i dun use...

What kind of photographer am i?

Really it been 4 years since i picked up my D40 from fukuoka's Yodobashi Camera on 21st December 2006... and well alot of things changed... In terms of life.. it was basically from O Level to aerospace, with 4 months of fooling around... then quit aerospace engineering for Digital visual effects as i gotten more interested in arts and design once again... and stuck in there till i am doing this 3D short film. Life has its up and down... so down that i was moodless, but well it was never that great... i still never had a better year that in 2007 since then.... [ yes the last 3 years was still shitty but getting better]

anyway on to the photography aspect...

on dA, they have this option to say what i am... the problem is i dunnoe what kind of photographer am i. I really shoot everything thus i should be a General Digital photographer, but i also shoot film. But these days i shoot more pano then portaits. but i shoot more people than landscapes... so what kind of photographer am i?

lets see --- goes back in time --
