Filemduatayar Studio shooting exercise

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

  Two weeks since I'm a student from Ealing Studios, my time are occupied with interesting activities. However I would say they are dependant activities. I find that 9 am to 5 pm classes are draining my energy fast and I can understand why people who work 9 to 5 job have the trouble of progressing themselves to reach their goals. This is where investing time to your goal's responsibilities becomes really important.



  Therefore while preparing for my independent projects, I'm organising a shooting exercise working with new collaborations. The first of this exercise will be joined with two collaborators of students from Ealing Studios and an actress from East 15. The three of us, students from Ealing Studios will be shooting each of our ideas on Sunday, the 20th February 2011. Will be looking forward on how interesting the exercise will be.

My Neighbour The Yamadas

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is the only film that doesn't feel like a production by Studio Ghibli.



Story: A family comedy about the daily lives of the Yamada family told through a series of vignettes.

Why Watch
- an interesting Studio Ghibli work told not using animation drawings but using illustrative sketches, plus the interesting water colour look.
- reminiscence of the life in the 80s, 90s, how we use the telephone to ask somebody out for a date...

You have been warned
- Its totally no violent but left with humour and intelligent depictions of a very believable picture of family life which crosses cultural boundaries.

Where to catch
out on DVD but usually it is not included in the Studi Ghibli box sex.

DIRECTOR STATEMENT
This would be the first non-profit project for promoting Projek Kalsom cause and the term of this kind of project would be Filmanthropy.
What I hope to promote with this short film is for us to help our younger generation by sharing your experiences and aid them in discovering their own talents, abilities and solutions problems/challenges. That can be achieved by simply becoming a mentor, also means finding a mentor for yourself while keeping in mind age is not a boundary to not receiving advise from a younger person. This idea is presented during the last 5 minutes out of 6 in the video.
The first minute of the video took me five continuous hours of critical thinking to create a presentation of what is Projek Kalsom at the same time involving the audience into the philosophy behind the project.
