SMIC Movie Industry Club

We’re here to talk to discuss the ideas regarding the RFC film.

AMY: What we want in the film? “portray music,having fun while helping people.” FOCUS ON ROCK MUSIC, ACCOMPANIED WITH HELPING. to get people interested.

Start with a funny/comedic scene, solemn towards the end.

- Opening doors to see instruments.

THANAKRIT: Song Empty (slow). Footage of the Si Chua charity at the first part.We show that we are going to use music to help.

Start off watching TV, knowing that people are suffering but no one’s helping. Maybe enter into the act of helping.

Maybe first part should be hyper, two focus.

JUSTINE: film melancholy sound. Then…shows people looking for the music. Finds the band playing, transition to Word-Picture, with the studio version behind.

Requires an upbeat song, with a strong bass: Parellizer

NEEDS VARIETY OF PEOPLE FOR THE RUNING PART.

Deadlines

- Screenplay: Yvette writes the screenplay.

- Start Filming next week

It’s out it’s out! Yes, I am just probably as excited as you are, but IT IS OUT! Justine’s Running film, after 3 weeks of production is finally out to public.

This film is going to be submitted to the Shanghai Student Film Festival on April 17th. For more information of this video, visit this post.

Film updated on 18 March. Enjoy the vid! (Youtube seems to darkened the film by a bit)

Download it now: iPod (22M), Medium Quality (30M), or Loseless Quality (866M, through torrent)

GREAT news : S2F2 deadline has been switched back to the coming Friday, March 20th. (cheers y’all)

As most might have witnessed in the last week or so, Justine’s “Runner” crew have all been migrating around school grounds in attempt to finish the filming of “Runner.” Good Job to all of Justine’s crewdudes, because y’all did it– filming is completely completed. (at least that’s what they have been feeding me)

Ever since March 4th, Director Justine Hsu has been busy with her crew with filming throughout the week, until Friday March 13th of the past week did the filming end. There were in total of 17 scenes and we give special thanks to the super determined crew, including the director herself.

As most of you are probably aware, we now have a new website domain http://www.mvcstudios.com. We will continue to update the website, such as putting more contents in it. So please check back regularly! Also, responding to Christie’s comment, I added a small “wall” section for you to just shout… anything. It is in the sidebar —>, titled “Wall”

Secondly, we have a new Faculty Advisor for our club! We were so delighted to have Mr. Carroll as our new faculty advisor! We had a meeting with him this afternoon, and it was certainly great to share some thoughts about the club between each other. Let’s hope we can do better with the new advisor =)

We were just notified that the S2F2 deadline has been changed to March 13, which is next Friday. In order to maintain qualities in the film, we decided that it is the best not to film both videos (Remedy and Running) at once, but only focus one.

We have decided to keep Running and move Remedy to later. More news will come up, and the calendar would definitely be updated.
