Downtime or Rather Time To Brainstorm.

Tomorrow I am off to Malaysia. For the past few years, every trip I have made to Malaysia has been solely for work and nothing else much to the dismay of friends & family who never get any time for me, save the ones who work for Perantauan Pictures of course.

My First Album

I stopped listening to much Michael Jackson as I got older, in fact I got turned off a lot of his stuff and the man overshadowed the music a lot of the time for me.

Reshoots & Recuts

Bahir & Ben just finished watching a rough cut a few hours ago of The Joshua Tapes back in Malaysia. I got a call from Ben after with some suggestions of stuff he’d like to reshoot, and some thoughts on recutting certain scenes.

So all done for the day. Ali is down in London for the next 2 weeks and we are spending this week working on a Flash prototype of our upcoming mobile game. We made some good progress today. I’m not going to give anything away except to say that there will be a timed mode [...]

A Week Of Game Prototype Testing & Cutting A Trailer For The Joshua Tapes.

With 5:13 now done our focus shifts to the last stages of The Joshua Tapes, the other movie we have shot which tells the story of 3 mates who go on a road trip to the east coast of Malaysia.
Our experience with 5:13 has meant that we’re really thinking about what information is needed in [...]

Within this week, we will also be releasing the trailer for The Joshua Tapes, which IS meant for cinematic release & should be out [...]
