The third installment in my series.
The Infiltration Continues...
[The following footage is of a case designated "International Secret Agents" and was found in the area formerly known as "Palace of Fine Arts".]
Music by Far East Movement
"Millionaire feat. Jin"
"Animal"
*sigh*. Finally.
For some reason, I'm not very satisfied with the way I did this one. I originally planned on filming an opening sequence, but that fell through.
This is the original fb message I sent with the idea.
"are you guys busy tomorrow afternoon to film?
so I've got a short script. don't worry thu, there's little to no dialogue, (mostly because I can't write dialogue haha)
and the bulk of it is a chase scene.
Probably wanna film it like at the parking garage or something.
For some reason, I'm still bouncing ideas around, but
The only one that seems solid right now is, it opens with an intense chase scene, a la that big bang music video. My character is running/being chased, and it’s just super rapid quick cuts. He’s carrying an envelope or something, there’s a closeup on the ISA top secret logo. He Runs into an elevator. As the elevator doors open, you guys are outside the door, looking pissed.
My character has this “fuuuuuhh” expression. Then, panting and out of breath, he says
“Relax guys. I have 3 tickets.”
Fade out to ISA Logo, Music. etcetc"
It was very much inspired by the music video for Big Bang's "Lie". Youtube it. It's tight.
then I had so many different concepts running through my head on how to edit it, since I wanted this one to be vastly different than my first two Wong Fu vids (which were essentially, copies homages to wong fu's own tour vids.
I started to settle on a "cloverfield-esque" secret agent footage tape, but then it felt odd not having the intro montage like my other videos, so I added the trailer to the front, which kind of threw off the flow.
Also, a lot of footage is missing from other performances because I borrowed a friend's camera, which has super shitty battery life. So yeah. Parts of the footage had to be taken from Thu's digital camera. (for the parts that switch from widescreen to fullscreen.
So yeah. Could have been better. I think the trailer actually built up the hype too much. :(
Oh well.
Wong Fu Vid v.4! Coming Soon! (hopefully.)

- To borrow a few words for a crappy introduction,
Let's assume you all know me, and I know all of you (all eight of you reading this, that is), and move forward with the this and thats. What follows can serve as a blurry haze of itinerary-style diary entries, random rants, unasked-for-opinions, and the like, which hopefully can serve as confessions of how underwhelmingly human I really am.
Most of my thoughts come to me at odd hours of the night when all of you are tucked into your beds.
“It's at night, when perhaps we should be dreaming, that the mind is most clear, that we are most able to hold all our life in the palm of our skull. I don't know if anyone has ever pointed out that great attraction of insomnia before..."

Disclaimer: I find the most interesting blogs to read are the ones that the blogger writes to him or herself. It feels like I'm peeking a little bit into their mindset and their paradigm of the world. And so, I'm not writing for anyone, but myself. Chances are, it'll be boring, lame, and/or occasionally reflective and maybe even insightful? Nah.
