It is time

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now i see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour i first believed

Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God!
Praise God! Praise God! Praise God!
Praise God! Praise God!Praise God! Praise God!
Praise God! Praise God! Praise God!

This song has been ringing in my head for the past few weeks. Looking at God's salvation for man. I really cannot stop giving praise to Him. Today in church, a speaker mike rayson was sharing with us, his life story. The struggles that he went through, and how he hit life's bottom rock. But he reminded us that the rock that he hit was not any hard rock, but was Christ the solid rock. Understanding the very foundation that he has, he cannot stop but give thanks to God. I thank the Lord for the grace that he had given us (Roms 8:32).

The speaker shared about "Walking in the valley of the shadow of death" (Psa 23:4), that we are all walking in this valley till the day the Lord comes again and the most amazing thing is that we have God with us as we walk through this journey.

It is time to let go of things. Pray that i walk in faith.

Documentary....

Hello all. Hows everyone been? The exams results are all right? how did everyone fair? i hope you guys went well. ZhiQiang and Rosemary congratulation's! God bless the marriage! I am sorry i cant be there for the wedding, sigh, i really wanted to, but kinda broke. Anyway will keep you guys in prayer!

Well today has been quite exciting and happy. This semester, my film group have been focusing on doing a documentary on a transsexual. We talk about his life before and what cause him to become her. It was really an eye opener, at the same time really saddening.

So in school, we had like a mini "film festival". Show casing some of the year two's work. There were documentaries and short drama films. I have to say, i am impressed with some of their work. There were really good.

So in this mini "film festival", we had nominations for different categories, such as sound, cinematography, director, best drama, best doco etc. Our documentary was nominated for best Sound, Director, Documentary and Production.

So we won, best Director, Documentary and Production. woo hoo! Honestly, i think we should have won best Sound too. Maybe we won too many and they decided to give it someone else. Actually in my opinion, we should not have won best Production, we had really bad visuals and the edit was not that smooth. I guess maybe they decided to give us best Production instead of Sound. Best Production should have been given to another group.

A lot of the other groups were not happy with our production. They feel that the tutor was bias. Our tutor is the unit coordinator. So that kinda explains why they feel that way. Although our visuals and edit is not that good, but i think the one thing we really have is content. Squeezing 9 hours of content into 35minutes was not easy. There was so much "meat" that had to be taken out. Moreover, we receive a lawyer's letter that we are not to mention his wife or his children in our film, which probably cut away 50% of our original footage. So i conclude that "content is king".

Although our documentary did well, but i think this is only our beginning. For myself, i learn a lot from making this documentary. I realise there is still a long way to go. This is where my headaches come in. Next semester i have to choose on what roles i would like to specialize in. I was thinking "director" and "editor" or just "cinematographer". Any comments on that?

Well, really Thank God for that. Alright i hope to hear from you guys soon. Take care and God bless.
