unDetained

Finally, after weeks of turmoil, sweat, drama and hard work, "Detained", our latest short film, is now complete. What a work that was; it pushed my computer to the limits (even a C2D can't handle it) and it pushed ME to the limits.

The editing style was a mixed bag; a little of this, a little of that, but overall I think it's a good concept. We also had to improvise the editing style mainly because the actual duration was too long; and no, there won't be a director's cut for this one. :P

Music scoring was done in a night; and hopefully, it works. I haven't attempted music scoring at this scale before; with different kinds of moods to work with (you don't put a happy song during a funeral, ffs). I also had the opportunity to rearrange Si Ying's demo of "You're My Spring", which she composed, which (the demo) was also used for the credit roll. Thanks babe, you're my spring!

For everyone involved, I would like to convey my deepest gratitude and I apologize for any misunderstanding or ill treatment that I may have inflicted on you. Also a special thanks to Audrey for putting up with our crappy production team. We promise we'll improve ourselves! Really!

I look forward to working with everyone again in the near future. BTW, the film will be posted on youtube if I can get the director's account. :)
