Message In A Bottle
Another MV I managed to dig out of the archives. This one was for Shal Sagan.
Conceptually, this piece was inspired by a Lomo camera which I bought when I was in Singapore for Resfest 2004. In fact, some of the stills in the video were taken with that same Lomo camera, which died after I finished the video and had to bring it back to Singapore to be replaced.
Photographed with 35mm still film and DV, the essence of the story is a teenage girl's search for the meaning of life.

Thanks Lester.
Cameras - Panasonic DVX100A, Canon EOS 50, Lomo SuperSampler.
Shal is actually a solo artist from Sarawak but as a band, the other members are from KL, I believe.

Hi tim,
yea i just started with the standard 8..still waiting to shoot. why standard 8?..well,i prefer the image quality and coz it doesn't weave or jiggle so much compared to the super 8, coz the super 8 uses plastic pressure plate..but then again i just love the way old film look...planning to get another camera soon..16mm maybe
