About 3 weeks back, I was commissioned to start work on the music video for 'Patah'. Click on the link below to read on about the 'making of' the video.

Recently, a longtime friend asked me if I could help him make a short video clip of him spewing elegant prose for a girl he likes very much. Well, one thing led to another and we decided a music video clip with her favorite song would probably work better - and would definitely be a whole lot easier on the ears. ;)

Planned in less than 2 hours at 3am in the morning, then shot and completed in 3 days, this clip is essentially a slapstick parody on their past memories and events. Technical details after the jump.

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.

As always, here's the link: http://www.timshim.com/downloads/MessageInABottle.mov.

Old news but might as well plug a short film I produced with a friend as a spec for a commercial. It's called 'A Taste Of Love' and follows the story of a young man in search of that certain something which reminds him of someone he loves. This short film explores the idea of how we associate physical things with an emotional connection. This film won the Audience Award in Korea's AISFF (Asiana International Short Film Festival) 2005.

Another piece of oldie but goodie is my very first Music Video which I wrote, directed and everything in betweened. It's called 'Masih' - the Malay word for 'Still', as in 'I still have this inexplicable itch on my bottom'. The band's name is Evenstarr. The concept for this video revolves around the idea that the band members have these alter egos - geeky, fanboy school students who are on their way to catch the real band at a gig.

So what're you waiting for? Me to give you the links? Uhmm ... right
